What can YOU do with your toes?

That would be your "flippin' the bird" toe.

I tend to wear a lot of chunky flip-flops, the platform kind with about two pounds of rubber on the bottom (Us shorties need all the help we can get). Very good toe exercise, curling the toes with each step so the shoe doesn't fly off and become a weapon.

Maybe paint the toenails a pretty color, and adorn the second toe with a toe ring so as to make them more sparkly and fun to do exercises with?

I really hope there are no foot fetish lurkers around...

when i was in my teens, I could write with my feet (holding a pencil)
and do all sorts of prehensile things with my toes.
I was stunned at how hard some of those exercises have become!
and DH thought i was nuts, but that's normal.

I used to pick up stuff from the floor with my toes too!
But all my kids can move their individual toes independently; which I regard as a testament to the efficacy of baby massage and a generally Spartan approach to early babyhood. (No Mummy's little darlings in this family!)

DD used her toes to count. Her First Grade teacher caught her counting on her fingers and decided to put a stop to it by asking her to add something like 9 + 8 and was stunned to see the child get up to 10 on her fingers and then continue with her toes!

I used to have to do that as well, pick up stuff and write with my toes for a foot deformity.

An Ex-Boyfriend could snap with his toes the way you do it with your fingers (a-one-two-three-four... get it?)

That's a great quote, cyclesutra.

You can really use your toes (even in your shoes) with a pair of toe-socks. I'm finding that my legs don't get nearly as heavy/tired at work when I wear my toe-socks, and I think it's because I use my toes more then.

My toes like to be FREE!!!!!!

independently? Like, could they lift the 4th toe alone? and then, the 2nd, without moving the others?
