As far as I know, there aren't that many people with the unfortunate fashion defect of having (a) webbed toe(s), but these people can't wear toe rings, which might be a bit of a problem to the more fashion-consious.
If the toe ring was made with a gap at the side, they'd be able to wear one (plus
help people with broad toes who accidently get them stuck often).

Sorry, but I always think of this old TV series when I think of webbed toes [Adze, Nov 22 2005]

I *was* going to call this 'webbed toe toe rings', but meh, bad English and all... |
|
| |
My apologies for self-promotion or whatever you like to call it. |
|
| |
you could get web piercings, surely? |
|
| |
Can you have a webbed toe? Surely you need more than one? |
|
| |
[moomintroll] I was talking about the webbing in singular form - you can have one webbing between two toes. |
|
| |
Unfortunately I'm victim of this particular defect (which, cursiously, led to my cousins calling me 'the froglet' when I was a tyke, then just 'froglet' when I became older. They still do.). Except two webs have a nice little symetry to them, and nobody notices, unless I try and wear those socks with individual toe thingummies. Or wear toe rings. |
|
| |
Would you wear a toe ring if you could? |
|
| |
I think it's an ancient symbol of prostitution. Or was that anklets? |
|
| |
webbed toes probably had you drowned as a witch. crossed fingers - my ex had webbed toes and an extra nipple. |
|
| |
yeah, ankle bracelets, DC. |
|
| |
That's why you drowned him? |
|
| |
Surely theres some type of simple surgery to correct this, so one could not only wear regular toe jewlery, but also have regular feet. |
|
| |
Can u swim abnormally fast? I always wandered this. |
|
| |
Do you weigh more than a duck? |
|
| |
Yes, I weigh more than a duck, [Consul]. |
|
| |
Whilst I am the fastest swimmer in my year, that isn't saying much. There are a lot of people out there without webbed toes who can swim a lot faster than me. So there you go, [shinobi]. By the way, I like my trademark toes the way they are, and it's not even very freakish - nobody would've pointed it out to me, and I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't have three cousins who kept on calling me 'froglet'. |
|
| |
And yes, if I could wear toe rings, I would. |
|
| |
It occurs to me that, with suitable piercings and the insertion of large, surgical steel eyelets, you could attach all sorts of running aids, climbing aids and such. Skis, flippers and crampons need never come loose from your feet again. |
|
| |
With such eyelets on each foot, you could also have the basics present for a very servicable catapult - Attach a 50cm length of thick rubber tubing, one end to each web eyelet. By lying down, legs akimbo, and drawing the rubber up to your chin, you could effectively aim and launch a bolt, or shot, with some force (caution- need to tuck willy well away). Those cruel cousins could be your first targets. |
|
| |
I'd find it hard to believe some additional between-toe skin would help a person swim faster...you kinda cup your toes together to kick anyway. |
|
| |
My one foot is slightly ducked, visible when standing at rest. Over the years it has made a number of people ask if I took ballet, because it looks like I hold a "turn out" position. See now, these are just the little things that make a person unique, why would you want to remove? |
|
| |
Yeah, the Man From Atlantis was awesome. [Froglet], do you have any of those powers? |
|
| |
I agree, we need pictures of Froglet's toes. |
