- How to find the right shoes for your feet? Shoe sizes vary depending on the country. The toe shape needs to be different based on your foot shape (Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Square or Germanic are teh main foot shapes). The width of the shoe varies too. And the height of your arch must be taken into account as well. Here are my tips to help you find shoes that fit!

#shoes - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Hi everyone! Welcome to all the new subscribers who joined in the last couple of weeks 💜 If you have missed the video on foot shapes, here it is: th-cam.com/video/t5PsfgFEno4/w-d-xo.html Let me know if you have any question
Great video as usual, would love to hear your opinion on flat feet (my case). I find that finding the style is SUPER challenging. A pointy shoe can look flattering or just awful depending on the style on top. If you can make a video detailing how to spot and look for ones that might work, it would be great!
My left foot is Egyptian and my right foot is Greek! 🤣
Hi Justine, thanks for the video. I was wondering - where did you get your customised insole made? Did you get multiple, one for each pair of shoes? And how much does a good quality customised insole cost?
Justine Leconte officiel
Hi Justine, were those soles you showed in the video customized? Where/How can I get myself some?
By the way, I love your videos.
What is the shoe maker that customizes shoes according to what we want and need?!!
I finally understand that glow up isn't just feeling beautiful, it's about knowing yourself and discovering things you never knew you are. Thanks unnie Justine
That was so profound in such a subtle way for me. What a great comment! Thanks for sharing :)
Having very wide feet, shoe shopping is a nightmare. All of the high street and even high end shoes carry shoes that are crazy narrow. I am surprised you find your sneakers to be too wide, your feet must be dainty.
I wonder why the shoe market is not more flexible in producing comfy shoes in different sizes and shapes. Clothes are much more forgiving and made in a gazillion sizes. This is the first time I have heard of Shoes of Prey! Grateful, thanks!!
I have wide feet, about 10 cm, maybe a bit over. I've found new look wide fit shoes quite good. Not high end, but worth the price definitely. If I don't find what I'm looking for there, that means a looong day searching through the stores 😕
Mihaela Škrabo
So the New Look shoes are worth buying? I‘ve been eyeing them, but since I‘m looking for shoes I can wear to business meetings and such, I wasn’t sure if the quality was sufficient. I would much rather spend more money on a pair of higher end pumps, but I just can’t find any that fit.
It’s crazy isn’t it?
But if the New Look are at least genuinely ‚wide fit‘ I might give them a try. I bought a pair of Clarks ‚wide fit‘ recently and was very much disappointed. Sole to sole exactly the same width than other higher end pumps I own.
I have narrow feet and I always feel like shoes come too wide. I think the problem might be the ratio between height and width. When you go a number up, they don't just make the shoe longer but also wider. And that doesn't work for me because I don't need the shoe to be any wider. I just need it to be longer. For you, must be the opposite. If the shoe has the right lenght, then it's too narrow. Have you got short feet in comparison with how wide they are?
Haghenveien
Yes, exactly. Shoe size is determined by length and it’s the same with (pretty much) with every manufacturer.
I‘m a size 39 in length (24.9cm, if I remember correctly), but size 39 shoes pinch my toes horribly, size 40 is perfect in the front, but way too wide overall. It’s not just the length, my feet are also quite narrow and high-arched in the middle and very narrow around the heel.
I basically can’t wear pumps or ballerinas at all, they either hurt like hell or my heels slip right out while walking even with glued in support thingies.
I always look for shoes that are either open in the front (in a 39 for summer) or go at least up to the ankle (in a 40 for winter).
Rara Avis with the new look ones, you get what you pay for. They are better quality than most with that price tag, but not super comfy like high end ones. Last at least a season, but I have had pairs of their shoes that lasted years. They do fit my feet, which are eu size 40 and around 10 cm wide.
Note to self
Egyptian:
Sandals
Possibly Retro style sneakers
Pointy shoes (will press on big toe dont do heels or you will get bunions)
Chelsea boots mary janes good
Boots (space around toes)
Clarks size and width shoe maker
Shoes of prey youtube maker
Insoles - custom - look into dr/pharmacy.
Bookmarking it for myself cuz we have the same type
i love how original your content is! :) you make it so easy to understand :)
This was sooo great Justine! I wish I saw this video when I was younger. I have narrow Egyptian feet and I never, literally never found a pair of shoes I didn't basically swim in, so I always got smaller sizes, because they made my feet feel more secure, but over time I developped the hallux valgus; so now pretty much every type of shoe hurts me bad, unless it's got a really round toe. My point is: feet are so important, as they support your entire body and people don't really know about it. Thank you really for this video, it was much needed.
Same here. I have to try on so many shoes and now I stay with the same brands.
Me too. When I find shoes that fit well, I usually buy 2 pair, in different colours.
Super informative!!! Thank you so much, Justine! With a narrow heel and wide forefoot, Egyptian feet, i can say that i have struggled to find dress shoes that dont give me blisters! Also, i worked in a shoe store for a while and learned that with running shoes, you should always have a minimum of a thumbs’ width at the end of the big toe (measure by someone else with you standing upright so all your weight is displaced in the shoe). Best fit ever :)
Yes, yes, yes, I was waiting for this, thank you. It is always so hard for me to find the right size. Thank you Justine!!! You are always the best!!!
I was just watching your videos on the tailor jacket and my heart raced so fast when I saw this!!! Bless your soul 💓💓💓 I badly needed this video 😍😍😍
I just find your videos. Greating from Croatia! I love it how finally someone talks more about personal style and not so much about trends (especially love how you talked about fast fashion). You got my subscriptions and thank you for everything. You motivated me to look at my clothes the other way.
Fantastic video Justine! Wearing shoes that suit your foot shape not only look better but are better for your foot health! Everyone needs to see this video. 👠👟👡👢
Thank you so much for all that you have done so far. I really appreciate that, especially on shoes characteristics like this
Your videos are so clear, concise and informative! I love watching them! Thanks for sharing so many useful tips with us!
I have watched several of your videos. You are great at explaining concepts and ideas! Very clear and a joy to watch.
Thank you Justine! Once again you have given another fantastic and super helpful video!
Just found your channel a day ago and can't stop watching your videos. Learning something new Thank you soo much for your effort!!
Love this video, the educational information is right on point.
Two thumbs up!!!
I have been long looking for customized shoes, your recommendations are always on point. Thank you so much! Merci bcp
Oh my goodness, thank you for the reference to Shoes of Prey! I have a very wide square foot and was thrilled to discover they have extra wide shoes. And the prices are surprisingly reasonable. Great find. I love your videos - thanks for all the work you put in.
I'm loving your tutorials! Your tips are really helpful most especially the one about undertones. All love!
Great valuable information! Thank you so much for all that you do to make these videos!!
Merci, Justine! There are few things worse than having to walk around in shoes that don’t fit properly. This is a very helpful guide to shoe shopping, & you’ve given me renewed hope that I’ll find pointed toes that my Roman feet feel comfortable in. I love pointy toes, but not enough to risk deformed feet! Thanks also for the handy size chart.
Love the video! Highly informative and really great to watch. I'm learning so much from your channel.
Great video as always , i have Egyptian shape and Sam Edelman shoes are the ones that suit me the best and now I know why, Thanks!
This is a very educational video and very well researched! Thank you for your hard work, Justine! It is most appreciated! :)
Truly an excellent video, Justine! You highlighted such important points. Finally, i understand & can make the best choices for my feet!
Thank you for making those videos. They're so informative and helpful 💕
as always, Justine, you have excellent research and the best advice!
Fantastic video! Thank you so much Justine. I'm going to get some inserts made especially for my feet. You know what I need before I do. Keep up the awesome work. :D
I love your delivery. Very knowledgeable and pleasant voice! I am so hooked on your videos! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💞
Very thoughtful and informative video as always. Thank you Justine! And just in time since I need to buy some summer shoes 😊
This video was great and informative just like all your other ones, but need to tell I just fell in love with the way you smiled, towards the end of the video. !!
Extremely helpful information, clearly and concisely delivered, as usual! Low arched Greek here. Sadly, too wide for pointed toes (sigh), but give me all the boots! I must investigate Shoes of Prey now. Thank you, Justine.
Trish Wilson I'm the same! Insoles is on mt wishlist!
We are foot twins :)
I've never been a fan of wedges in the past, but I've been turning to platform wedges increasingly. They give me the height I want [5'1" weight 130]. They make my legs look a mile long. They are amazingly comfortable. Add an insole because I almost always need one and the comfort level goes up even more. I'm a happy camper. And YES! I'm a shoeholic!
I love wedges too, with a bit of platform to cushion. So desperate they aren't very on trend right now. I both dislike the chunky heel and it doesn't feel as good at all.
I really enjoy listening to Justine, she is informative intelligent and the information is very practical. I am looking forward to imolementing the in formation as I shop again. Merci :)
Thank you so much for sharing! I always gravitated towards a certain style of sandals/shoes, but oftentimes would be disappointed in the feel. Now I know what to look for! Thank you Justine!
This is so helpful; I never knew there would be so many parameters to be considered before buying shoes!!
This is such important and detailed information. Thank you so much for this video. I have had a sour relationship with footwear since I was a kid - always wore incorrect shapes for my foot type, ill fitting shoes, wrong sizes, you name it. I eventually ended wearing only flats all the time and that caused issues with getting the balance right. I now have a slip disc and the info on custimised insoles is eye opening, I had no idea something like this was possible. This information is extremely helpful.
Awesome video again, love love your channel 😊
I love your videos. You offer so much valuable and helpful info in such a beautiful way, with such a beautiful and gracious, respectful spirit. You're awesome☺👍✨
Justine, Thank you very much for your videos. They are very informative. I have health issues that also cause memory issues and your videos have reminded me of things that I used to have at the forefront of my knowledge. I especially loved this video because my husband has one of the forms of muscular dystrophy and I will be looking into the company that makes shoes for your dimensions. He needs to have arch supports and leg braces made but even so he has extreme issues with width,arch and hammer toes. You are truly appreciated. I was also extremely touched by you video with mood board on where you grew up. I could literally see,touch,taste and feel the things you described. You are a very special and gifted person and I look forward to seeing more things that you have designed as well as maybe one day owning some of them . Thank you again and have a blessed day.
This series has really helped me figure out what I've been doing wrong when buying shoes. Thank you so much.
Love the shoe videos. Very helpful. Thank you Justine!
Love your videos...well thought out, innovative, clear, concise and delivered impeccably. It is evident you put so much effort and commitment to quality in each one. You are such a delight sweet girl :-)
What a wonderful video Justine! Thanks a lot! 😘💖
Thanks Justine. It really helps. Love your channel.
Your videos go so well with my morning coffee and breakfast :) Thank you for such a useful video ahead of the spring/summer shopping.
Enjoy breakfast 😉
Thanks , Justine! Loved this video and shoes as well, haha! Xoxo!
That was so good, so informative. Thanks Justine!
Love the video! Such an educative, helpful & original content. Great job and thank you justine! Keep creating good stuff.
Also, pls suggest where to get good quality in-soles :)
Lots of love! 💕
Thanks for sharing it's was useful to know and as usual I really enjoyed your simple explanation
Justine, your channel is so much fun. I have always been fairly oblivious to fashion, and frankly anyone who looks at me can tell! (I only own two handbags, a daily bag & a plain black leather dress bag, and I do not own even one pair of high heels.). But I still love watching your channel.
Love shoes....and love your videos! Thank you so much for all your suggestions!
sad, I have been a subscriber for so long and I have never seen this until now. This was very helpful, thanks.
Another great informative video❤️❤️
The instep, the shape of the top of the foot, is important as well. I have a high instep, most 'formed' shoes are too narrow top to bottom for my foot to fit (even some work boots) and anything that laces up will require a longer set of laces so I can tie them. It's like trying to find a needle in a hay stack when I go shopping for shoes. Fashonable isn't even a consideration, I end up settling for the least hideous pair of athletic shoes I can find. Yes I know heels tend to be open across the top, however that accentuates the high insep making my foot look really large (my foot is a bit wide as well)
Candied Ginger my insteps are the same way. I usually end up taking out the sole padding to make more room or cutting slices with a razor blade in the inner seam of the instep (like on Sperry's) because of how badly they dig in.
I have the same problem.. very difficult to find the right shoes..
Oh my gosh me too! I have the same problem. With high insteps, a view of my feet from the side looks like I am wearing heels even though I’m not. The higher the heels are, the harder it is for me to balance in those shoes. :(
I use booties that have a partial cut out on the instep or use a soft enough contrasting material (less pressure on instep and decreases visual surface area). Clark's is my go to shoe brand for this reason and that fact that almost all of their shoes use rubber on the bottom instead of the hard plastic that transfers all of the kinetic energy to my heel spurs.
Thankyou Justine❤️ this video is so informative
Thanks for this video. It is really informative.
That's so right... I've Egyptian shape and I always have to look for narrow style sneakers! Love sandals on my feet! great video, thanks Justine BACI
This was very helpful. I’ve learned a lot from your channel.
Answers so many of my feet /shoe q’s.....thanks SO much Justine . X
Another great video. Thank you.
I have Egyptian feet and when I wear sandals my last toes always suffer.
Asma 10shoot Same. All my life. Plus, I have narrow feet and shorter toes, so sandals are always an issue because usually my feet are sliding out. Then I have to take brand new sandals to the cobbler to fix them and my little toe suffers.
yes especially for gladiator sandals, they are always out XD
Mine too
Mmmhmm. Ouchy
Me to. The Trick for me was to buy them a Size bigger when they have an extra strip to support the small one so it cannot fall out and a rather long tablue to stand on. But mostly I prefer closed on the sides or wide flats in summer because of that.
Wow, so much relevant information of the topic very few utubers touch i.e shoe size. I have learned so much from your videos Justine. You are knowledgeable, relevant and cultured. I only discovered your channel recently and have happily subscribed. I am a woman looking for authentic information and am glad that I found your channel. Please keep uploading videos and thanks once again. Cheers!!!
welcome to this channel!!
Really entertaining and informative video! Thank you very much and have a lovely week! 🐝🍀
You too!
Thank you so very much for such informative video!! Please if you can..than do compose videos for each of these foot shapes..Egyptian, Roman etc. Thank you again Justine!
One of the most clever videos I have seen lately on TH-cam! Thank you Justine, this was very helpful :-) We really need to be careful with our feets, they support us all the time! High arch egyptian from Canada speaking here! Bonne suite pour vos projets! xoxo
merci beaucoup!
Thank you Justine. This video really help me. I always have problem with my foot. I always thought that I buy the wrong size but after I see this video, I find my problem.
You are saving my life with this video XD Thank you so much!
Very informative video! I never knew/ thought about my foot shape. I now know I most probably have a Roman foot. I value this content, thanks!!
This was so interesting, thank you Justine! I need to invest in customized insoles for sure - ballerina flats are my favourite shoes to wear but I find that by the end of the day my feet are actually hurting more than when I wear boots or shoes with a small heel.
I got excited when you mentioned making custom shoes through Shoes of Prey, but discovered that they are no longer in production. I can't tell if they're taking a (long) break or if they went out of business entirely. Anyways, I love your videos and have learned so much from you! Never was much into fashion (or related topics), but you make it far more accessible to me. Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for another excellent piece xx
Wish I remembered to come to you when I was buying shoes. Fp. Thank you! Please make more of these videos.
very thorough and informative. thank you :)
you could be a perfect teacher :D
Ben de öyle düşünüyorum Kübra fakat ingilizcem yetmiyor:(
She is a perfect teacher!
I don't watch any TH-camr's videos as religiously as yours! There's something about the way you present the information and your calm and kind nature that really draws me in!
Thank you for this, I've learned so much!
In the US, it gets worse. They use one set of numbering for toddlers, one set of numbering for small children, one set of numbering for older children (which are thankfully in sequence with the previous series, not true of the others), one set of numbering for adult women, one set of numbering for men, and then the one mentioned in the video, for sneakers. I am a European size 35. That translates to size 3 in "big kids" (officially 3.5, but by experience, I know it's 3), and size 5 in women. My size does not exist for men, but if it did, I would be a size 3.5. One has to carefully watch for sizing, especially between women and "big kids", as there is overlap. A size 5 in big kids corresponds to a European size 37, not at all the same as a size 5 in women.
Has your head exploded yet? Thanks for reading this far.
I like the Japanese and Korean systems. They are actually very logical. In Japan, your shoe size is the length of your foot in cm, rounded upward in half cm steps. In Korea, they use millimeters.
I wish clothing sizes were like that in general. Small, medium and large is completely arbitrary. Tell me how many inches it is. At least pants.
I wear a Euro 37-37.5, and so I often wear either a 4.5-5 in "big kids' (if they sell it lol) or anywhere from 6-7 in women's. It's nice to buy the kids shoes, but still, why can't we just have one size?! I like to rock climb too, which mainly goes by Euro sizes.
Good information
I wear a US 4 in Women's (just try and find THAT!) which equals a 2 in Big Kids. My Hunters (boots) are a bit big since the next size down is too small and they don't have 1/2 sizes; but since I wear heavy winter wooly socks with them, it's ok. Hunters are a Big Kids UK 2 which is an EU 34.
Amazing!!!! I love your videos. :)
Awesome, thank you so much Justine 💕
Great content as usual
Thank you! Wonderful work💗💗💗
Thaaanks!
Thank you sooo much for this video!
Very helpful, thank you!
I love how quiet she talks,love her little Lough,love her information love everything about u dear
Thank you for sharing Shoes of Prey! Next time I need shoes, I’ll look to them.
Justine I love your videos!
your videos are unique, always a pleasure to watch something different. i always had problems with my feet, so i have to buy expensive shoes made from mild leather, searching for any possible discounts, saving to buy once or twice a year. but the most people i know cant afford buying expensive shoes. so i've seen many deformed feet around me.
Great info, Justine...thanks so much. The pointy shoes I wore back in the sixties was the dumbest thing! I’ll have those dreaded bunions for the rest of my life, so your warnings are on point (pun intended)
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Such a good video Justine! Not many people know about it and you touched the points that create really big problems if the shoes are not right. Also, I find it annoying that some brands these days are doing everything to save money without giving consumers what is really needed, when it is important for people's health, as you mentioned here.
Thank you for recommendation for the Shoes of Prey, never heard of them will check it out! And Clarks' shoes are great!
Hi Justine, thank you very much for this information. I had no idea why my shoes hurt me all my life, now I buy 39 sneakers instead of 37-38 classic ones. And I'm happy to wear them. I have an Egyptian foot shape type. Now I know it ;).
Thank you very much for this information. It’s very helpfull! 👍
This is fantastic! Thank you so much! Brava!
great information as always! kisses from greece
I love your videos, very informative! Thank you.
Is there a video about insoles I might have missed?
Thank you, Mum!, as a child and teenager my mother scrimped to buy me good fitted Clark shoes, she had bunions. My friends wore "fancy" shoes now in my 60,s I have good feet and unfortunately for them, they all have problems.
Hazel Meldrum I used to sell lady's shoes. Several of my older clients had terrible feet. It makes me think twice about always having to wear the cute shoes.
Wonderful video! I don't like heels, so I like wearing flats, but I keep getting pain in the inner arch/heel line and on the soles. Now I understand why. I have eqyptian, mid-high arch and definitely need more arch support to prevent that pain. I'm glad I watched this video today before going shoe shopping, including your shoe quality video. Thank you!
Hi Justine, I enjoy your videos... and I love shoes :) I've lived half of my life in US and half in Europe, and I find that every brand has a different size conversion chart. In my experience, most of the size conversions I've used in the past 43 years do not match the chart you provide. So, you're right that trying on is always best, but when shopping online, instead of using a "universal" size chart, I find it more helpful to use a conversion chart that each brand provides, and the most reliable strategy has been measuring the length and width of my foot in both cm and inches and checking those shoe measurements. Also, my US sneaker size has always been exactly the same as my US shoe size. Thanks for the video, keep going!
Freefalling into grace the same here. My sneaker and shoe size has always been an 8 for both.
This was a cool video! Working in a shoe shop I allways told people to size up in nike and adidas because they were often a bit small, but I had no idea that they might have used a different scale. Certain brands also have different shapes, new balance for example are wider than a lot of other shoes. Interesting topic :)
