This document discusses two types of feet - Egyptian feet where the big toe is longer than the second toe, and Greek feet where the second toe is longer than the big toe. It states that the Greek toe, known as Morton's toe, is caused by a short first metatarsal bone compared to the second metatarsal. Diagrams show that in Egyptian feet there is a smooth curve through the toe joints, while in Greek feet the line has to bend sharply at the big toe joint. A genetic explanation is provided, with the Greek toe being dominant and Egyptian toe being recessive.

The Greek toe, also called Morton’s toe, is caused by a short first metatarsal bone varies in relation with the
second metatarsal. In Egyptian feet (right), a smooth curve can be traced through the joints at the bases of the
toes. But in Greek foot (left), the line has to bend more sharply to go through the base of the big toe.
