More common in very young children often due to inadequate hosiery, tight babygros and sleep suites may constrict the toes.
May be due to tight footwear or as a secondary trait of compensation for biomechanical deformities.
The affected toe on walking takes the weight on the distal end of the toe.
There may be:

Chronic nail problems with onychauxis (nail thickening) or onychogryphosis.

Advice
Strengthening exercise
Digital silicone devices – relieving pressure on the adjacent toes, reducing nail discomfort.
