I've started doing this lately, especially when I'm stressed: during an eye exam a few weeks ago (air puff thingie...wth!!), when I have to speak to someone I'd rather not, & when I'm angry.

It's more toe-tapping and wiggling.

I curl my toes, like when I'm sitting down I will often have my toes curled under my feet. I also frequently crack my toe knuckles (by curling them under my feet, haha).

I was doing this today and it was the first time I was conscious of it, I had Crocs on and I noticed it made my already short feet look even shorter. Usually I read something here and will start doing the same thing later but I was already doing this before I opened the thread

One of my sons does that. I would have got him clogs or flip flops because his feet are perfect for those, but the school requires sneakers. He hardly pull them up properly and always stomp on the back and trash them pretty quickly. He's a toe walker.

I'm the opposite, I hate toe curling and never wear flip flops no matter how popular they are.

I prefer walking barefoot because it gives me another layer of pleasant senses - things I have complete control over, stimulation through contact with the earth.

As a child I walked on my toes and the balls of my feet so much it became problematic, causing loss of flexibility and muscle tone.

I managed to train myself out of it though.
