foot shape
Sole's natural outline
Foot shape refers to the overall contour and proportions of a human foot, particularly the relative lengths of the toes.
Common classifications include Egyptian (big toe longest, others descending), Greek (second toe longest), and Roman or square (first several toes roughly equal length).
Foot shape matters primarily for shoe fitting: I have a Greek foot shape, so pointed shoes pinch my second toe.
