Cracking your toes is not bad for you.

When you crack your toes you don't cause any damage so it's perfectly fine to crack your toes if you want to or need too.

Except for the big toe, each of the toes has three joints, which include: Metatarsophalangeal joint (MCP) – the joint at the base of the toe.

Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP) – the joint in the middle of the toe.

When cracking your fingers, toes, shoulders, elbows, back, or neck, the sense of relief is achieved when that tension is released.

The joint feels relaxed again, which helps to alleviate stress in the body.

There is actually no evidence that cracking your fingers is harmful or can cause damage.

Each toe consists of three phalanx bones, the proximal, middle, and distal, with the exception of the big toe (Latin: hallux).

For a minority of people, the little toe also is missing a middle bone.

The hallux only contains two phalanx bones, the proximal and distal.
