No : The 5th toe should never be under the 4th toe. There may be a natural curve to the toe but it should not go over or under the 4th toe. See your podiatrist for treatment options.

Underlapping 5th toe: Unfortunatelky this is not normal, although many perople inherit this condition from parents/grandparents. It is called an underlapping 5th toe. It occurs due to rotation of the toe from your gait. When your foot hits the ground and causes the toe to contract, it begins to underap the 4th digit. Sometimes you can tape the toe, or use a toe sleeve to stop the irritation or callus formation.
