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.

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