Kim Kardashian’s feet are back in the headlines after eagle-eyed fans spotted a flaw in her latest bikini snap.
Over the weekend, the model and entrepreneur, 40, posted a photo of herself posing on an idyllic-looking beach clad in a skimpy black two-piece.
But rather than the usual comments about her curves, viewers were more concerned with her right foot, pressed against a fallen tree trunk.
“Is it just me or is (sic) there only four toes?” one Twitter user asked, as scores of others suggested the KUWTK star was guilty of poor photoshopping skills.
“Where is your pinky toe, Kim??” commented another.

Despite the speculation, scores of fans jumped to Kardashina’s defence, insisting that her fifth digit hadn’t been digitally cropped out but was simply covered by another:
@Red_pill__ @josefinajohan @KimKardashian There are 5 toes in pic, little one has SAND and slightly over the 4th. GEEZE!— Porsche (@Porsche) 1620496515
@josefinajohan @KimKardashian There are FIVE toes in pic, little one with sand slightly over the NEXT! KarJenners always SCRUTINISED!— Porsche (@Porsche) 1620496388
It’s not the first time the mum-of-four’s extremities have come under scrutiny.
In 2019, the reality TV icon was likened to a modern-day Anne Boleyn after fans thought they spotted a sixth toe on her left foot.
The suspicious image, posted on Kardashian’s Instagram page, showed her and sister Kylie Jenner strutting the catwalk wearing matching one-legged bodysuits.
But rather than focus on the bottle of KKW perfume the pair were promoting, viewers grew obsessed with her alleged “photoshop fail.”
She was later forced to put the issue to bed by “proving” to her 219 million Insta followers that she didn’t suffer from any form of polydactyls – the condition referring to someone born with extra fingers or toes.
“Everyone thinks that I have six toes, and it’s really wild,” she said in a series of videos.
The billionaire then explained that what people saw as an extra toe was, in fact, just part of her foot.
“It’s this, part of my foot, that when I wear a shoe just like this it like smashes down right here and in a picture,” she said.
“I don’t know why, it looks like a sixth toe,” she added, confirming: “Because I only have five toes on each foot.”
She might now have to issue a new statement reassuring fans she hasn’t since lost one of the five...
Meanwhile, we’re just jealous that she’s on a beach somewhere.
