Feet are a reflection of the soul and determine your personality. Now, of course, that’s a very subjetive matter, it’s just like believe on the psychic’s predictions or on the astrological signs. What is clear and has been scientifically proved is that there are differents kinds of feet based on their morphology. In this post I’ll try to help you to identify your personality according your type of feet.

Egyptian Foot

Perhaps the foot type that best suits morphologically different activities. Big toe’s usually the longest and the other toes decreases in perfect order (that’s visible on Pharaohs statues). However, it may happen that big toe is too long in others related. About personality, egyptian feet holders are usually enterprising, charismatic and safety people. This type’s the most common stand with about 60% population over the world.

Polynesian Foot (Squared)

Polynesian’s foot maybe the strangest: all toes are practically in same length, except perhaps the little one (as seen as Gauguin’s paintings). If you have polynesian foot probably you’ll be a little shy person but intelligent, sensitive and abled to listen and feel others. This foot type presents approximately 25% of the population.

Greek Foot  (also known as Morton’s Toe)

These feet usually have the second toe longer than the big toe (you can appreciate that on ancient Greece’statues), also could be a larger space between those two fingers, which in some cases causes pain. Greek foot carriers are normally very hardworking and enterprising, with noble and cheerful personality, family and interpersonal relationships lover. About 15% of people have this kind of foot.

Roman foot

This particular toe shape is characterised by the first three toes being of the same height, with the other two in descending order. The people who sport this toe type are known to have a balanced body shape, as well as personality. They are inherently outgoing and love adventures, as well as discovering different cultures and spaces.

Germanic foot

A person having stretched toes has a foot shape in which the big toe strays far away from the rest of the toes, with a considerable gap in between. Fiercely independent by nature, these people are happy only when they are outside, and hate any kind of boundaries. They love arguments, and are drawn to them—like moth to a flame!

Wide-set Toes

The traveller’s foot—this foot has toes which either have a lot of gap between all the toes, or the toes can be stretched quite far apart. Typically associated with a traveller consumed by wanderlust, this foot depicts a person whose mind craves new and exciting adventures, and is happiest when on the go!

Stretched Toes

A person having stretched toes has a foot shape in which the big toe strays far away from the rest of the toes, with a considerable gap in between. Fiercely independent by nature, these people are happy only when they are outside, and hate any kind of boundaries. They love arguments, and are drawn to them—like moth to a flame!

Extra Small Toe

This foot type is quite similar to the Egyptian foot. However, the difference between both feet type is this foot type has an extra pinky toe! This is a distinct feature too for the foot. The rest of the toes taper in a descending order just like the Egyptian toe.

Foot types are also classified into one of three categories, according the arch type: pronator (low arch), neutral (normal arch), or supinator (high arch). This type of foot could affect people in certain sports, since the foot shape can causes pain, damages, and even injuries.

  • FOOT TYPE ACCORDING THE ARCH
    • Pronator
  • This foot impression looks like the whole sole of the foot. If this is the footstep that most closely resembles yours, then you are an over pronator. This means that the arch of your foot stretches inward too much, not assorbing the shock correctly and exposing you to injuries.
    • Neutral
  • If your impression looks the most like this one, you are a neutral pronator (20-30% of runners are). You strike the floor with your heel, then while you roll towards the toes, your arch lightly collapse inward absorbing the impact.
    • Supinator
  • Last, this is the foot impression of an under pronator (or supinator as most commonly called). Supinators’ feet don’t flex enough to provide an effective shock absorption during the run, making impact with the floor very hard and surely dangerous.

What kind is yours? And, what’s your favorite foot type?
