Medically referred to as syndactyly (a name that also refers to webbed fingers), webbed toes are described as two or more toes fused together. While it is normal for animals such as ducks and frogs to have webbed toes, it is not as common among humans. During early fetal development, all our toes and fingers are webbed together.
There are several different types of webbing that can occur between the fingers and toes. They are: 1  incomplete: The webbing appears only partially between the digits. 2  complete: The skin is connected all the way up the digits. 3  simple: The digits are connected by only soft tissue (i.e. skin).ess commonly, webbing of the fingers and toes is a result of an inherited trait. Webbing can also be related to genetic defects, such as Down syndrome and Apert syndrome. Both syndromes are genetic disorders that can cause abnormal growth of the bones in the hands and feet.
