1. Egyptian

The Egyptian foot type is elongated with the toes aligned in a descending fashion. In other words, the big toe is the longest of all and they go down in that order.

This is because they are people who live with great intensity, although sometimes those around them do not understand this way of being very well.

2. Roman

The Roman foot type is perhaps one of the most common. Much like the Egyptian foot, the toes are descending in size, taking the big toe as a reference. However, the first two fingers are almost the same size. Also the foot in general is a bit wide and the toes are slightly apart.

This type of foot belongs to sociable and very outgoing people. They also show themselves as very self-confident and confident in their abilities.

The Greek foot type has a very peculiar shape. The index finger sticks out even over the big toe. The rest of the fingers are getting smaller and smaller, so this index finger is the longest of all.

The positive part is that their spirits keep them going over and over again, so with each fall, they get up more spirited.

4. Square

The square foot has very characteristic features, such as the size of the toes. Thumb, index, and middle finger are the same size, or a difference is barely discernible. In addition, the other two fingers are only slightly smaller, so if an imaginary line were placed above the contour of the 5 fingers, it would be almost straight.

Physically this type of foot can be a bit problematic to wear some types of shoes that tend to be very narrow at the toe. On the other hand, people with square feet are extremely analytical. They take a long time to make decisions as they are careful to think about the pros and cons.

They are reliable people and the people around them know it and give themselves to them. These are usually stable, secure personalities that, although they do not move much, have the characteristic that they are very practical and unemotional. It is for this very reason that they are so analytical and slow when making their decisions.

5. Elongated

The elongated feet are very slim. Precisely these are feet that have a very thin and elongated shape. The fingers also look very elongated, although with different sizes between them. The rest of the foot is also thinned out, usually with a very prominent arch formation.

These are people with exclusive tastes. They are very analytical and not very accommodating as they tend to have refined preferences that they analyze before choosing. Their personality is somewhat narrow, that is, they are somewhat closed-minded that does not accept new ideas, they cling to their analyzes and beliefs.

This elongated foot shape indicates a person who usually has many diseases and ailments. Not only in relation to your legs and feet but in your entire body. They are strict and very disciplined people. Although they are reliable people, they do not usually have many friends because of their rigid way of acting.
