    They can save a lot of bending, I often pick up things I've dropped with my toes, they help to walk also

    I cleaned up my hospital room floor with my prehensal toes when I was in there a few years ago. I picked up all my tissues, etc off the floor with my toes. When I was a kid, I said to my mom , " This is how I clean my room " and proceeded to show her how I can pick up things with my toes . And she said, " No wonder it's always messy "

    I think I have it down to a fine art!no bending for me unless I see dollars on the floor!!(could probably do that with my toes too)

    Of course we do. They're to stop you from falling over on your face. And , how could you stand on your tippy toes,to reach something , if you didn't have any ?

    YES!!  we need 'em for Toeing-- Here's a Toe Truck

    Yes we certainly do we could'nt walk with out them.Have a Great Evening!!!!!!!!

    My sister had a classmate in elementary school who lost one of her big toes in an accident. (The little piggy that went to the market).  
    She had to learn how to balance and propel herself without it.  Yes, we need our toes.   

    Well of course what else do why have when are fingernails are chewed to the bone., not only that we wont be hanging from any trees either.

    Do toes need humans? Some people seem to have all their brains in their toes. Therefore, the toes could walk on tippy toes by themselves.

    For one thing, if lost your big toe on one of your feet, you could not motivate forward more than an inch or two past your other foot while walking.


     

    yes

    I have a girlfriend who woke from surgery to find her toes amputated (mistake) and she gets around fine now (she also lost a few fingers-it's amazing how she functions).......!
