I think a shorter big toe is associated with the foot not being stretched and aligned well. I think the foot alignment would be an indicator of other body misalignment due to injury/accident or strain. But females seem more prone because of high heels, hips, and other factors. I could be wrong but wondered if the results would match.

If I'm standing my big toe is longer. If I sit on bed with leg horizontal the 2nd toe is longer. Which is right measurement? Standing I assume?
