Re: What would you change?
Toes take quite a lot of the weight of the body. If you think of how small the foot is compared to the size of the body it's supporting they are very useful.They are also vital for balance especially when you're older.
If you think of a foot in a stiletto where the toes can't do their job the person is more likely to fall over and it's not just because of the high heel.
Older people can't usually wear them as their balance gets worse with age.
It's also almost impossible to run without toes which propel you forward, I think the big toe takes something like 40PC of weight when moving forward quickly.
Have to say they are deeply unattractive when people have fungal infection on their toe nails yuk.

I do realise this is a tongue in cheek post but felt the need to give a true life reply 
Unfortunately my neighbour has recently had to have her big toe amputated due to her being diabetic, it has affected her mobility greatly so much so that she is moving to a bungalow as she now has difficulty managing going up stairs.
Sooo .... look after your toes and keep your nail scissors sharp!

Re: What would you change?
I would like a prehensile tail which could act as another limb. It would have to be covered in fur though as I don't like scaly bald tails. I would also like all my senses to be enhanced, eyesight in particular and also hearing. I would also like to be far more agile and fast moving. Keep the brain power the same. Can you imagine how awesome we humans could be if I could have what I wanted?|
