Large digit: You should have a xray both feet to compare the bone size. Would not want to miss a bone mass. See a foot specialist. They usually have xrays that can be done in the office. Good luck

Big Toe.: In the general scheme of things, no, it's not normal. If, however, it does not present a problem, leave it alone. Toes can enlarge for many reasons. A recently enlarging toe, would necessitate a further looking into. Either way, to find the cause you will need to seek the advice of a specialist.
