Thread Name: BS: Cornish toes? Take your shoes off
Subject: RE: BS: Cornish toes? Take your shoes off
Well I didn't wear Jesus sandals as a child ( crippling stiff oxfords instead, that always gave me blisters under my ankle bones and until they were worn in). My second toe on my left foot is the same length as my big toe and the second on the right is a tiny bit shorter than my big toe and my third toe. I used to be teased by friends, as a teenager, that I had little kid's feet, so its kind of heartening to see my style foot as Scots/Irish.

Which is weird, because my foot shape is not shared by my maternal Scots/Irish side of the family, it comes from my paternal side, who were in in Clifton, Bedfordshire at least back into the 1700,'s if not before, who eventually met up with some Ruthenians and Magyars about 3 generations back. I wonder what shape of foot the Huns had?
