It only really works
for things smaller than the gap between the big toe and the next toe, otherwise you can't grip. So for instance, if I were to drop a satsuma, I would still have to exert myself and bend down because I'm not that much of a gap-toed freak.

But at least you can pick up small objects.
The larger ones are easier to grab when bending over and reaching.
