Where do your toes point?

Post Reply New Topic

I never paid any attention to my feet.

I used to point very outward with my feet, but then when i was 13 or so my dad told me that it's childish and abnormal. So then I learned to walk straight. Today, I instinctively point my toes straight all the time.

if i'm standing flat-footed (which is not that often), for some reason, my right foot points straight, but my left foot is pointed slightly outward.
usually however, i place my weight on my right foot and have my left foot only slightly touching the floor, but carrying no real weight

I like this a lot =)

made me laugh =)

anyways as for my post.
I used to always walk on my toes as a child, but now due to my gait i walk on the sides of my feet... (it seriously destroys my shoes).

Please vote on this on this poll.

Figure C. But I'm not sure this was always the case. I always had some issues with my balence and would sometimes feel like I would tip over when I was walking slowly. I also have very narrow, long feet. I think by turning my toes outward, I have improved my balence in my old age.

Slightly inward.

acutely outward.
they did try putting these correcter things in the school shoes of mine but just took them out and threw them away from self as they hurted and felt weird.

Inward. possibly for most of my life.

I was born pigeon-toed (the medical term was Bilateral Metatarsus Primus Varus). I wore casts as an infant, followed by corrective shoes.

If my feet were not corrected, I would have either been either a “toe-walker” or more likely unable to walk.

Outward I guess I dunno. As a young child before I can even remember I had a lot of problems with my legs I guess, I dunno what exactly was the issue but my mom says they wanted to like break my legs and put me in leg braces. My parents didn't think it was necessary and AFAIK it hasn't caused me any real issues. L

Looking at them now, yea they do look messed up.

My toes point outward, but I've never really paid much attention to that or had anyone else say anything about how I walk or try to change it. I don't and never did toe-walk, but I do often stand on the sides of my feet (which sometimes makes other people ask if my feet hurt, but no it's just a comfortable way to stand for me).

My left foot points straight, my right points out. My right knee also points out slightly and the angle that it it hinges is slightly oblique. My mom noticed the foot thing when we in the mall one day. (Fatigue from extra walking makes it more prominent) I only noticed the issue w/ my knee after I took up walking for exercise a couple years ago. Obviously, something is wrong with that leg.

When I was little I toe walked and I think I might have been a little duck toed but I have since learned to walk correctly.

Pretty much forward.
