No need to feel paranoid, or even concerned that your feet are unusual. If you can walk, be grateful.
My life wasn't exactly blighted when, following an outbreak of an apparently contagious foot infection at school, we had to sit on the benches in the changing room after having changed for a swimming lesson (I've since wondered at the appropriateness of a teacher crawling around the floor examining the feet of adolescent boys dressed only in their swimming trunks) to undergo personal inspections for what we called "Chinese foot-rot". When he got to me the teacher exclaimed in a theatrically loud voice, so everyone could hear, "<surname>!! Your feet are deformed!! Look at the size of your big toe!!" Of course had he not been a PE teacher and genetically disposed to bullying he could have been quite fanciable. I've sometimes fantasised that, with his head level with my groin, he was speaking euphemistically.
No, I wouldn't be paranoid, Add22, no ... not at all ... much
As long as they are fit for purpose?
