Hi everyone! It's Justine. Let's talk about feet –
the things we've been hiding in our shoes the whole winter. Yes!
There are wide feet and narrow feet – that's for sure.
But in terms of toes, of toe shapes
there are, actually only five main types.
Do you know what your type is?
And did you know what it says about your personality?
For this video I'm gonna need you to take your shoes and your socks off.
So I hope you are not watching this from the office.
The 'Roman' foot. Each shape has the name of
an ancient civilization.
I don't know why exactly, but if you say – Roman foot,
to a shoe designer or a shoe seller.
They will knew exactly what you are talking about. So that's the wording we use.
The 'Roman' foot is the most common type.
Here the first three toes are the similar length.
Then, the last two ones are much shorter. The little toe being the shortest one.
Overall, the tip of the foot is quiet wide and looks quiet rounded if you have the "Roman" foot.
Then, the 'Square' foot.
In the world of shoes the name really says what it does.
So, I think, this one is pretty clear.
The 'Square' foot has toes that all have the same length. It means that your foot is very wide
at the level of the toes. It looks a little bit like
your foot, overall, is a rectangle.
For instance, ballerinas often have the 'Square' foot.
Not by nature, but by practice.
Because they are standing on their toes so often. And the result is a flattened toe line.
Next one - the 'Greek' foot.
Why Greek?
Great question. I don't know.
If your foot is 'Greek' , then your second toe – is your longest one.
When you buy closed shoes you need one size bigger,
just to have enough space for that one toe.
'Greek' feet usually seem to be longer and thinner.
So it's considered pretty,
but honestly speaking,
they are much happier in sandals, than in closed shoes.
Next one – the 'Egyptian' foot.
This one ranks all your toes in the right order. So to speak.
So from the big toe to the little toe on each side.
Most 'Egyptian' feet look very harmonious.
Because of that regularity. So when you see ads
of feet wearing rings or decoration –
usually they are showing you a model who has 'Egyptian' feet.
Next one – the 'Germanic' foot.
This name is a little bit of a cliché. I'm sorry about that.
We really need new names for foot types.
In a 'Germanic' foot – the big toe is the biggest one.
And then the other toes all have the same length.
Like in a 'Square' foot.
You will also need shoes one size bigger, just like your 'Greek' friend,
but that's because of your big toe.
Let's see what your foot type is! I've prepared the little poll.
Which is here – in the corner of your screen.
If you click on that card –
you will see different choices. Vote for your foot type.
I want to know what the most common types after the 'Roman' foot are.
So I'd like to rank them.
Just in case I'd want to design shoes one day.
You never know.
Now, if you wonder what my feet look like
I will show you.
My feet are typically 'Greek' – the second toe is the longest.
You clearly see that.
Now comes the fun part.
What does your foot say about your personality?
If you have the 'Roman' foot, then you are very likely to have
great social skills.
You can be business person, you will be very good in public speaking.
A 'Square' foot means that you're grounded,
rooted in reality, pragmatic, practical.
That you will think, before you make decisions.
A 'Greek' foot means motivation, enthusiasm.
It's also often called the 'artistic' foot.
People with 'Greek' feet are likely to be creative.
I have the 'Greek' feet – "motivated and creative" – I hope that's all true.
Will see.
Then, an 'Egyptian' foot means –
somebody who is a little bit more discreet,
may be slightly introverted,
thinking a lot – it means that you have secrets.
And that your mood can go up and down.
And then, for a 'Germanic' foot. It means an assertive personality
with great logics.
Now comes the most important question in this entire video –
can you separate all your toes from each other?
On both feet.
Here is how it works
on one foot
and on both feet.
Together, apart.
If you can split all your toes –
you are very likely to love change. You don't like routine
and if things get too comfortable, at some point,
you will have to do your best to shake everything up.
It's definitely true in my case.
If you feel, that you have difficulties separating the two smallest toes from each other,
they kind of stick together,
then you are a very organized person.
You like to have a bit of routine and you like to have a structure in your life.
Is that in your case?
I'd love to read what you guys think in the comments.
Now you can put your shoes back on.
Finding out your foot shape is a fun exercise,
but in fact, shoe types are a nightmare for shoe designers.
Because not every foot can feet into a ballerina.
Because a 'square' foot in pointy heel
is gonna be extremely uncomfortable etc.
But that's a story for another time. Thumbs up if you enjoyed todays video.
