Answers:
No, your toes are a vital part of your balance.

You'd simple fall over, it'd be like walking on stumps!Health Question & Answer

Yes, it is a matter of learning to adjust how you walk to accomplish this. The biggest job that the toes do is balance. Notice when you walk that they move as needed to maintain your balance. People have learned to walk with all kinds of disabilities. Have you ever seen the dogs on TV that occasionally are on informational or documentary type programs. One dog I saw was born with only back legs, one with only front legs, and one had legs only on one side of the body due to an accident. They all learned to walk quite well by adjusting how they maintained their balance. Even the loss of just your big toe has a significant impact on balance as it does much more of the work of balancing than the others.Health Question & Answer

Of course. some people are born without toes, and prosthetics have no toes. People walked with wooden legs too.

But one would not be as agile or as flexible or as resilient.Health Question & Answer
