I can't believe how much bruising and how many bony corns there are in this thread! I read once that the toes are subconscious mirrors of our state of mind, because we scrunch our toes when we're distressed, disgusted, scared, trying to hold back feelings or tense - apparently Marilyn Monroe had awful, scrunchy toes in a lot of her photos. Looking at Katie Holmes' bent, scrunched up toes made my own toes feel scrunchy!
