If your 2ND toe is longer than your big toe, you may have a disorder called "Morton's Toe."
The condition can increase your risk of developing stress fractures. It can lead to instability, calluses and Achilles tendinitis.
Doctor's recommend those with extreme cases have special insoles made for their shoes, and stick to low impact sports like swimming or biking.

This is no longer considered a disorder, but a genetic variation. This is like saying people who have a longer nose have a "condition" or a "disorder". The symptoms are caused by the shoes they wear, not because something's "wrong" with the feet.
