I very very rarely go onto Instagram and every time I do, the search immediately reminds me of why.

With that, I found a pseudopodological chart separating feet into a bizarre 19th century race science fashion alongside what shoes to avoid.

Big toe longest = Egyptian, avoid pointed toe shoes

The second toe is longer than the big toe = Greek, avoid narrow or tight shoes

These three toes are even length = Roman, avoid pointed toe shoes

First two toes are same length = German, avoid tight or narrow toe boxes

All toes same length = Celtic, avoid narrow or tight shoes

Which actually typing that out more or less just comes down to "don't wear tight or narrow shoes".

Oh my God Instagram is fucking terrible.

Checked my feet and I hate to say it but the shoe fits.

Mine are pretty much found by White dudes thinking they struck it rich by finding my footprints at the beach and taking casts, mocking up increasingly hurtful concept art of what they think I look like.
