Why do we have toes on our feet?

How much do you weigh? Whatever it is, it’s sure a lot of weight for your poor feet to carry. How do they do it? With the help of those toes. Toes help keep you balanced and help bear your weight. Your big toes bear one-quarter of your weight, your other four toes carry another quarter, and your heels carry the other half. Be thankful for your funny toes. Without them, you’d probably flop right over!
