I've heard that in children...their acklezee(?spelling?) tendon has not fully lengthen to the right size for their leg and it hurts if they walk normally.

It is "used to". If you say "I use to go for long walks", that would imply that you meant something like "I use my legs to go for long walks"

"Balance" isn't much of an explanation.  Why is a big toe better than a small toe?  If big toes produced better balance, then why does it help to have it on the inside, rather than the center of the foot or the outside?  Why not 5 big toes on each foot?\n\nA better explanation is that it is an evolutionary throwback to the "thumb" on the foot of primates.  A lot of the internal bone structures, muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the foot provide further evidence.  Four examples (among many):\n\nFact 1: Look at your hand.  Notice that you have one fewer bone (one fewer joint) in your thumb than in your other fingers.  The same is true in your foot (see picture of foot bones in Source 1) ... your big toe has one fewer bone (one fewer joint) that your other toes .  And the same holds with all primate hands and feet.  Your big toe is a re-purposed "thumb".\n\nFact 2: There is a vestigial muscle in the calf of humans, called the 'plantaris' muscle.  (See source 2.)  It is completely useless in humans ... in fact it is so useless that it is a favorite to be harvested by surgeons needing tissue for reconstructive surgery (like heart surgery), and in fact 9% of humans are born without any plantaris muscle at all.  However, the same muscle is very important in other primates, as it is what lets them flex and oppose the large inside digit of the foot, to allow GRASPING WITH THE FEET.\n\nFact 3: Why is your thumb fatter than your other fingers?  Because it needs to be stronger than the other fingers to be opposable for grasping.  That is the reason the big toe is fatter  than the other toes.  It had to be fatter because it was once used for grasping.\n\nFact 4: Wiggle your toes.  Notice that you can wiggle your big toe independently of your other toes ... but it's very dificult to wiggle any other toe by itself (some people can wiggle their pinkie toe by itself).  The reason for this is that there are more nerves and muscles dedicated to the big toe than to your other toes ... again, evidence that the big toe was once used for grasping.\n\nYes, the human big toe (once we became ground walkers, and no longer grasped things with our feet) has moved forward help the other toes produce better balance when walking upright ... but that doesn't explain why there was a big toe in the first place.

Because you have a foot fetish.

it's a fungal infection that lives between the toes and on the foot.  It's given that name because it is typical to athlete's or anyone else who needs to regularly shower in a communal setting.

Foot fetishism is a pronounced fetishistic sexual interest in human feet. This paraphilia is also called podophilia. It is also one of the most common fetishes.\nA foot fetishist can be sexually aroused by viewing, handling, licking, tickling, sucking, sniffing or kissing the feet and/or toes of another person, or by having another person doing the same to their own feet. The fetishist response to the foot is the same or very similar to arousal at seeing genitals (or the sex-specific features like female breasts). Others enjoy having their genitals manipulated by their partner's feet to the point of orgasm or ejaculation (which is called a "footjob", analogous to the concept of a "handjob"), or merely being touched by feet or used as a foot-rest by another person.

Claim:   Marilyn Monroe had six toes on each foot.\n\nStatus:   False.\n\nOrigins:   Despite the way this "fact" about Marilyn Monroe's toes is usually worded, the real issue is not whether she had six toes on each foot - she didn't. The claim, which is traceable to a specific source, is that she was born polydactyl, but with only one extra digit: a sixth toe on her left foot, which was supposedly surgically removed early on in her Hollywood career. \n\nMarilyn Monroe may indeed have been "the girl with something extra," but the extra something in this case doesn't appear to have been a toe.

Yes...actually the big toe is the only thing that is required for balance....so hopefully you have one of thoes !!

Empathy: Rare trait.  However, I am exceedingly empathetical as well as being fairly astutr in psychological matters; interactions and the like.  I'm basically asocial and asexual, while unusually fond of feet: specially female feet.  Therefore not in humor, although it may seem so, if Sam is Samantha and it be a pretty foot she got, I'd value giving you a relaxing feet massage after you've walked your hard mile.  That's some form of empathy in supposing you'd have somewhat sore feet.

As the person get older . . . they get wiser . . . and as a person grows older . . . his feet grows until maturity

Maybe they're too long?  Are they dragging the ground when you walk?  I'm assuming you're talking about the bottom and not the whole back.

Hi, no, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Unless you think it impares his walking. When I was a little girl, I walked with both feet (including toes) inward, it impared my walking and I fell lots. But I don't have such a caring father, and my mother couldn't afford to get help for me. I am a teen now and I walk just fine... no sign of what I used to do. Some things just work out with time. But if you are uncomfortable you could have a Doc's oppinion just in case.\n\nSo your son is lucky to have a caring parent! Good Luck.

It walks on its feet. \n\nThat answer seems way to obvious. Am I missing something?

Of course I would. Toes are used for balance, but not all of them are needed.

wow, weird question, and not sure whether you're telling the truth or not, but I have the same thing.  It's a medical condition if you were born with it.  I have since forgotten the name, but it is not harmful.  \n\nActually, there is a bit of evidence suggesting that humans will eventually not have a 5th (pinky) toe.  If that's truth, it means you are more genetically advanced since your toe is already becoming a vestigial digit.
