Talk:Webbed toes

Inbreeding
Is it just a myth that people with webbed toes are the result of inbreeding? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.223.36 (talk) 14:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I would assume so. I have 'webbed toes', my second and third toes. As far as I know there has been no inbreeding in our family lines. We've traced our family tree. The first person to have been known to have it in the family was my dad. It appears to be just a random freak of genetics. --93.96.82.95 (talk) 22:38, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Consequences for "athlete's foot"
Is there really a need to point that out?

"Webbed toes eliminate the possibility of athlete's foot infections in the affected areas."

It sounds just ridiculous... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.249.45.148 (talk) 12:58, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

"Famous webbed feet"
Huh, I didn't know Joseph Stalin was a famous webbed foot.

The title of the section might need renaming... --Yair rand (talk) 07:10, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Dogs
This article makes no mention of the types of dogs that have webbed feet to help them swimming, I intend to add this as a new section once I work out how to edit the contents list!

Current thoughts: Some dog breeds, particularly water retrieving breeds like the Field Spaniel and the Portuguese Water Dog have webbed toes. These act similarly to those in amphibians, helping in propulsion through water. The disadvantages can be that they are easily damaged by thorns, and can develop interdigital cysts.

Will need to check if theres a wiki page on the cysts and provide a drawing or photo of webbed toes if I can get the dog to sit still long enough! Kriswarry (talk) 08:14, 7 December 2017 (UTC) Kriswarry (talk) 08:14, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
