Morton’s Foot!?

August 15th, 2007 @ 4:35 pm by Mrs. Gummi Bear

Curse that morton and his damned feet… I mean 10% of people have it, but I have always cursed that toe. I wanted to wear these, so bad, so bad I might cut my toe off… Cinderella’s step sisters did it, and I’m about as evil as they are, so it’s only fitting, right?

Note my daikon ashi… and that toe! Why is my toe so long?

[mr. gb: the picture doesn’t look NEARLY as weird as it does in person!]

Instead, I’m going to hide that toe that makes me so self conscious. I have other reasons, like that Mr GB isn’t that much taller than I am and the grass thing. Yea… the grass. So I bought these and I’m stickin’ to it:

I bought the first pair online, and now, well, I regret it. Mostly because it reminded me that my feet are the kind that those with foot fetishes would run away from, but also because the return policy is not so great. My impulse purchases will guide me to hell, or at least a sad disapproving head shake from Mr. GB. Ebay?

I have it too! I rarely wear sandals, just too weird looking! I have only seen one other person, besides my mom, who has this. Some people think it means you are smart and my boss says it means that I will be rich. I like his meaning! haha

Someone told me that in India this means you are a member of one of the higher castes. No idea if it’s true.

I have a long toe too…I let it hang out! Haha. LOVE the Loubutins…I say wear them at some point!

I also love the flats…I have them in black and wear them all the time, they’re adorable.

Where did you buy the first pair?

Huh, I have it too! I heard it means you’re going to be “the boss” in your relationship! And it’s TRUE! (don’t tell Mr. K I said that)

I think that no one is going to notice your toe. especially if you’re in a wedding dress? But hey, whatever you feel is necessary.

no one will notice your long toe. and i doubt any photog would shoot your feet in a birds eye view.
so your secret is safe.

except with you know, all the wedding bee readers. =)

Miss Bee: Mine is WAY long, somehow it doesn’t look so bad in that photo, but it pretty much goes to the end of the shoe if not over. I have a feeling that it’s more prominent in asians, or maybe even koreans, because I feel like I see it on more than 10% of people I know.

Miss Kiwi: oooo maybe! makes sense here, hah! Poor Mr. GB.

ally/cab07: I bought them in japan, but they are light pink Louboutin Moustiques. I’ve seen the black version at the Neiman Marcus in SF. :) Size 36.5 anyone?

If you were a 39 they’d be sold! Haha. I’m in NYC…I’ll hunt around. Thanks!

Good luck with whatever shoe you decide on…I wouldn’t count that long toe out just yet!

Ok- I would never let a “big” toe stop me from wearing lovely shoes- especially Louboutins!! Your feet are fine! Honestly it’s not noticeable unless someone’s directly right above you staring down at your toes. No one will notice. Your flats pale in comparison- sorry.

LOVE the shoes. I used to be really self-conscious of my feet (webbed toe) but finally realized that nobody was going to judge me based on my toe, and I was drastically limiting my footwear choices. If you’re wearing fabulous shoes, nobody will pay attention to your toe!
