Is middle toe medial to the big toe?

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.


What does it mean if the 2nd and 3 rd toe are longer than your big toe?

It actually doesn't mean anything. It's just that you inherited that pattern from your parents. Check your parent's toes if you want to validate this. Different people have it differently. Most people have big toe longer than their second toe. This is to give a strong push off while walking or running. Some people believe that if the second toe (the one next to the big toe) is longer than the big toe, it meant that person would be the boss of the family. Another popular theory is that people of Celtic origins have a longer second toe. Others say that you are descended from royalty if your second toe is longer.
