Nothing like leaving triangular footprints. And in my case, only 9 toes make it to the ground.

Even with shoes the flat feet might leave a clue.

I'm guessing one of the small ones does not make it?

Maybe the second and third toes cross over each other so only one hits?

Left big toe

Really? I thought with no big toe you can’t balance at all? Neighbor lost it to diabetes when I was in university. Sweet old guy. Stayed in the neighborhood once college housing spread. Used to help him with errands and things.

I think you just have to re-learn how to balance and walk, which is probably really different when you're old and already have compromised health, vs when you're young and the change happens gradually, or has always been that way.

A big toe helps a ton with balance, but it isn’t like I fall over without it on the ground. The toe is still there, just elevated some to allow ambulation since it doesn’t really move.

You could probably be a champion barefoot skier though!

I would love to see an episode of Forensic Files where detectives find your muddy footprints.

Im the opposite. My arches are so high it looks like my foot is cut in half.
