Medically referred to as syndactyly (a name that also refers to webbed fingers), webbed toes are described as two or more toes fused together.

Answer 1: Our toes do two very important things for us. Firstly, the toes, especially the big toe, help us balance. To test this, try standing on one foot with none of your toes touching the ground. After a while, relax your toes and let them touch the ground again. I'll bet balancing on one foot is a lot easier using your toes!
