meaning of "go out on the toe"

[Lost_Soul]

Hi,

I can't work out what the part in bold might mean. Could you explain its meaning to me please?

Ruth has very small feet, so her shoes are only size five. Saying that the hippies went out on the toe of her size-five shoes means that she kicked them out. In other words, she gave them the boot. She ejected them from the town.

The whole thing gives the image of a small, genteel, dainty woman who is tough enough to throw bigger, more vulgar, more obnoxious people out of town all by herself.

Thank you !
It is a metaphorical language

But note that it's not a common expression. I think it's probably unique to that text.
