I would think DNA testing would be a far more accurate measurement??

At any rate I had to unlace my lineman boots & then lace them back up!!

The second toe on my right foot curls slightly, so I have to actually force it straight to compare. It's very nearly the same length as my big toe, barely a fraction difference. My left big toe is slightly longer, but not by much.
Though I have (had) dark hair, like others I had reddish tints to it, & my people back in Missouri had a whole bunch of red heads.

It's a technique archaeologists studying skeletons often use to determine if remains in the U.K are native peoples.
People in my family (including myself) have rather large & wide feet. Some have had to have shoes special made for them.
