Pull your big toe and second toe together. If the second toe is longer, you have Morton's toe. (It does not have to be massively longer as featured in that Wikipedia photograph; just longer at all is Morton's toe.)

Morton's toe is also known as the Greek foot. Here are some charts of other foot types:

Only 10% of the general population have Morton's toe (source).

I am predicting that a far higher proportion of people in this community will have Morton's toe. I will explain why once the results are in. emoticon

I don't, but my mother does. It's driven her crazy because it's hard to find shoes that fit.

I don't have it.  Mine is the "Egyptian type" in the picture.

I don't think so here.  They're about the same length and I've never had foot problems.
