The problem is 90% of shoe manufacturers make this bullshat:

I always buy a size or two larger in an attempt to get a shoe that actually fits a human foot. I end up with something like the foot on the left:

Lots of extra "point" length but my toes still get squished and I have (permanently?) deformed toes because of it. I wish I could find a shoe that would fit more like the right image...plenty of space for my toes to spread out when pressured. My middle toes actually do stick out a bit further than my "big toe" but as in that image there would still be room for them.

Right, I'm sure all of this has a scientific basis... and you know, not from some BS psychic or any other nutjob.

Well the main problem with shoes it getting wider sizes, which companies have stopped doing. Why? China.

99.8% of all shoes in American sold and bought are made in whole or part in China. They only do one design there and it's the regular slightly narrow foot dimension size. They rarely make wide foot shoes. I think it's perhaps China's way of getting back at the rest of the world for making them top binding the feet of women by making shoe sizes for the rest of the world to narrow that it now binds everyone's feet?

Somewhere between Roman and Greek, apparently. My first two toes are the same length, but the middle toe is a bit shorter than those two.

But mostly my foot type is pigeon-toed, which I despise.

Mine are very much Germanic. Huge big toe, other toes are barely anything. Large wide foot.
