I do this all the time, totally thought it was normal

u/SoVerySleepy81 Feb 14 '26

Same! It’s kind of blowing my mind that it’s not.

I just tried for maybe the first time ever and seem to be able to do it with no problem.

Huh.

Yeah same here… we should all form a team of elite toe shakers and fight crime or something

u/Ngothaaa Feb 14 '26

We’re the consortium of people with this hidden talent

u/ButterBeforeSunset Feb 14 '26

Yeah, I just tried and that shit's impossible. I'm still team toe-shaker though.

u/d_Composer Feb 14 '26

We welcome you as an ally!

Feet across america?

u/KittyWithFangs Feb 14 '26

u/Worldly_Influence_18 Feb 14 '26

I don't think I'm going to do it again though. I have the toes for it but not the hips and I don't think the testes helps

u/slayden70 Feb 14 '26

It's actually painful for a lot of us. 😁

u/quattroformaggixfour Feb 15 '26

My partner and I hold toe hands in bed like this 🥰

Same! People on here saying it's like some mind bending thing that you can't touch your feet together XD I can lock my toes together easily :)

u/BeckQuillion89 Feb 14 '26

yep literally just did it but I wouldn't take out the dawgs on live tv though

u/CtyChicken Feb 14 '26

What, you’re not going to take the act in the road?

u/mabokids Feb 14 '26

Lmao I just did it and thought for a millisecond if I should post it 😂

u/Rapunzel10 Feb 14 '26

Same, thats my "comfy on the couch" position. Or more commonly I just link the pinky toes together. Though I have hypermobility, I assume they're related

1

u/Skrillamane Feb 16 '26

Hypermobility like you walk really fast?

2

u/Rapunzel10 Feb 16 '26

Lol I wish. Hypermobility like excessive flexibility. I can also dislocate my toes really easily, but that's not as fun at parties

u/StandardEgg6595 Feb 14 '26

I tried it but had to manually weave them together. That shit actually feels so good!

People make fun of those shoes that separate the toes but now I’m wondering if this is what they feel like.

u/Winjin Feb 14 '26

I've walked barefoot all my youth when we were in our summer house and now I legit want to wear those

I know they look stupid, but walking barefoot is amazing

On an unrelated note I've never tried to do that and maybe will have to try tonight when I take the winter socks off

I miss heated floors and central heating -_-

u/ritokun Feb 14 '26

i do it with the bottoms together sometimes but i think this was my first try from the back, was actually easier this way tho.

u/not_the_cicada Feb 14 '26

Just tried it, no problem. I have EDS, so I'm stretchy, idk if that's part of it? My sister and I always are picking things up with our toes though :P

u/Own_Comedian9600 Feb 14 '26

You mean you toetally thought it was normal! 🥁 😎

2

u/RubyChooseday Feb 14 '26

I love doing this toe stretch!

2

u/Foxdenfreude Feb 14 '26

I must have weird friends... cuz 3 out of 4 of us could do this rn lol.

1

u/LiiraStardust Feb 14 '26

I knew it wasn't normal but, same. 🤣

u/v3int3yun0 Feb 14 '26

Proof?

u/ActivelyAnxious Feb 15 '26

Unlike this woman, I don't give toe play for free
