Are all of your toes dark purple, or just one of them?
Are you saying your actual toes are purple, or your toenails?
If more than one of your toes are purple, you need to call your doctor. (In other words, one toe or toenail may have been "stubbed" and is bruised, and this can be OK if you sustained a toe injury).
You can be in perfect health, be used to standing on your feet, but your symptoms are telling you that there is something that needs to be looked at by a doctor.
If you literally looked down and your toes were fine earlier in the day (putting on your shoes, for instance), then later in the day they are ALL suddenly purple, you need to be seen by a doctor TODAY. A sudden change in your extremities needs to be seen immediately, to rule out circulation issues (something that can be treated if caught early).
Please call your doctor, go to an emergency clinic, and let us know how you are doing.
