That is perfectly normal. There is a widespread mutation causing the second toe to extend farther than the big toe, but in the original structure of the human foot, the big toe extends the farthest, and this also gives the best stability to the foot.

"Morton's toe" is the technical term for the second toe being longer than the first. This can also be referred to as "Morton's Foot", "Greek foot", "Royal Toe", "LaMay toe", "Sheppard's Toe" and Morton's syndrome or long toe syndrome.
