Description The causes of overlapping toes are not clearly understood, but bunions, foot trauma, inflammatory conditions, hereditary factors, and bio-mechanical issues are thought to be factors. An overlapping 2nd toe is most commonly found in patients with bunions. This relation comes from the progression of a bunion. As a bunion develops the big toe tends to migrate toward the little toes. Like many other foot conditions, wearing high heeled or narrow-toed shoes can lead to destabilization of the joints in the foot resulting in overlapping toes. For this reason, overlapping toes seem to be more common in females.
