Yes, the middle toe is medial to the big toe. In anatomical terms, "medial" refers to a position closer to the midline of the body, while "lateral" refers to a position further away from the midline. Since the big toe is located on the lateral side of the foot and the middle toe is positioned closer to the midline, the middle toe is indeed medial to the big toe.
