Piede Greco

It Has been called the Greek foot (as opposed to the Egyptian foot). A shortened first metatarsal in relation to the second metatarsal. Ten percent of feet worldwide have this form long toe. A longer second toe has often been associated with royalty, particularly during the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty when Egypt was under Greek rulership. It was an idealized form in Greek sculpture, and this persisted as an aesthetic standard through Roman and Renaissance periods and later (the Statue of Liberty has toes of this proportion). There are also associations found within Celtic groups. The French call it commonly pied grec (just as the Italians call it piede greco), and sometimes pied ancestral. It's a type of brachymetatarsia. This promotes an anterior position of the second metatarsal-phalangeal (MTP) joint in relation to the hallux (big toe). This blog is dedicated to the rare and beautiful peide greco.
