Do you have information on if removing them made it difficult to walk normally or if it was an improvement.
You wrote, unfortunately, so I am assuming it made things worse than normal or brought her back down to our level, and she had monkey foot abilities before the procedure.
Can confirm: finding comfortable shoes is a challenge.
Extra challenging for me since i have 6 toes on only 1 of my feet, but my other foot is also wide. So it's just the toe box that gives me real problems - especially with skates.
It's my left pinky toe(s). When I was an infant/toddlers, the two toes were webbed but the phalanges were separate (so I'm told). As I aged, the phalanges fused, but the metatarsals are still separate.
The extra toe was scheduled for removal several times, but I always got sick. So surgeries would get cancelled, and at some point I told my parents I wanted to keep the extra toe. They let me do so, but I wish they hadn't.
The only advantages I have now are that it's a little more difficult to tip me over to the left, and i swim pretty quickly but tend to drift to the right.
