    Many people have strong feelings about the appearance of their feet. And according to ‘Foot Readers’ (yes, they do exist) feet actually reveal personality traits. So, with this in mind, following is a conglomeration of facts and fun about feet.

    Roman Foot

    If you have a Roman Foot, your first three toes are of the same length and your outer two toes are shorter and the same length. Avoid high heeled or pointed toe shoes as your forefoot will be pushed forward, reducing the space in the extremity of your shoe and causing the skin on top of your toes to rub.

    Roman Feet people tend to be outgoing, sociable and charismatic. They can speak in front of large crowds and are great in business. http://en.newsner.com/the-shape-of-your-feet-reveal-your-personality/about/science,tricks

    Egyptian Foot

    If you have an Egyptian Foot (also called an Outstretched Foot) you have a longer big toe and each toe from there is progressively shorter. It’s the most functionally efficient foot because it allows you to push off your big toe (when walking) without your foot twisting http://curingchronicpain.com/tell-feet-twist-mean (hyperpronating) as you do so.

    Egyptian Feet people tend to value privacy while also being secretive. They can be impulsive and have sudden mood changes. http://en.newsner.com/the-shape-of-your-feet-reveal-your-personality/about/science,tricks

    The Egyptian Foot is most common in Italy, which leads us to a very interesting question: Why isn’t it called the Roman Foot?

    Greek Foot

    If you have a Greek Foot (also called Morton’s Foot) http://curingchronicpain.com/an-explanation-of-mortons-foot-aka-mortons-toe-and-greek-foot your second toe is longer than the others. There may be a big space between your big toe and second toe. Many of the ancient Greek statues have these toes.

    The Greek Foot is considered to be the most likeable shape, aesthetically speaking. This is probably because women with Greek Feet can wear (longer than others) pointed toe shoes and high heels. This is because the toes have enough space and so don’t overlap each other.

    Greek Feet people tend to be enthusiastic, motivating and driven. They are natural leaders. This foot is commonly seen on artists, athletes, public speakers and innovators. http://en.newsner.com/the-shape-of-your-feet-reveal-your-personality/about/science,tricks

    In case you’re wondering how the above three foot structures got their name, apparently it was from the sail shapes on ancient sailing vessels. http://www.rightshoesblog.com/uncat...r-greek-foot-which-category-do-you-belong-to/

    Peasant Foot

    If you have a Peasant Foot (also called Giselle Foot or Square Foot) you have at least three toes that are similar in length, which tend to be short and stubby. This foot structure is the most rectangular in appearance.

    Peasant Feet people tend to be quiet, calm, wise and sensible. They’re always there when friends need them. http://en.newsner.com/the-shape-of-your-feet-reveal-your-personality/about/science,tricks

    Celtic Foot

    If you have a Celtic Foot you have a short big toe, a long second toe, a shorter third toe and two very short fourth and fifth toes. Your feet may also have a bulge at the base of your big toe, where bunions tend to form. Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England might be the source of this foot structure. http://www.familytree.com/blog/feet-toes/

    Celtic Feet people tend to be idealistic and independent. They are loyal to kin but mistrust governmental authority. They have a tendency to be shy and emotionally chameleonic. http://www.myhealthyfeed.com/2016/10/06/shape-of-your-feet/

    Germanic Foot

    If you have a Germanic Foot, your first toe is long and the rest are shorter and of the same length. This could cause problems in wearing shoes.

    Germanic Feet people tend to be stubborn, hold to traditions and be thrifty. They are creative but also have a tendency to be argumentative. http://www.myhealthyfeed.com/2016/10/06/shape-of-your-feet/

    Simean Foot

    If you have a Simean Foot your big toe is shifted towards your little toe. This makes it easier to get bunions. You may also have toe qualities of other foot structures.

    Simean Feet people tend to find it difficult to separate emotions (what they desire) from intellect (what they think). They focus on one thing, absolutely, to the exclusion of all else. They generally achieve and accomplish far more than most, developing techniques and inventions that will last for generations. They also experience far more misfortune than most. http://www.jenniferboyer.com/simianlinefacts.html
