Stacey's Favorite Toe for Knitting Socks

My toes angle straight down from the big toe to the pinky toe, and with most of the knitted toes that I've tried the sock ends up stretched on my big toe and bunches up with extra fabric on the other side.  I'm sure there are quite a few different knit toes that work well for the shape of my toes, but since I found one pattern that I liked, I don't feel the need to try more (at this point).  My go-to toe is the Asymmetric Wedge Toe from Reena Meijer Drees which can be found at http://knitbettersocks.blogspot.com/2012/03/asymmetric-wedge-toe.html

Lee's second toe is longer than his big toe, so all of the toe patterns that I've tried have fit him pretty well (lucky guy).  If I want to try additional toe patterns, I'd probably use them on his socks before my own.
