Shot types, nail polish and shoe size explained
The short answer
Shot type tells a fan what a clip or a photo shows. Nail polish sets the mood. Shoe size answers the first question many fans have. Say all three and your clips are easier to find and easier to say yes to.
Shot types
Fans look for the shots they like. Name the shot in your clip caption, and pick your specialties, such as soles or toes, under Details in Edit profile. Your specialties become the tags of your clips.
Soles
Soles are the classic. Fans look for a clear, well-lit view of the whole sole, from heel to toe pads. Natural light and a plain background show the most.
Toes
Toes shots are close-ups. Fans look for sharp, neat detail, so keep the camera steady and the light even. Nail polish matters most here.
Arches
Arches are about shape and curve, shot from the side or at a slight angle. Fans who look for arches often care about the arch on your profile, so keep it up to date.
Heels
Heels shots show the back of the foot. Fans look for smooth skin and a clean line from ankle to heel.
Pedicure
Pedicure shots put the finish first: fresh polish, tidy nails, care in the details. Fans want to see the colour true to life.
Nail polish
There is no polish field, so name the colour in your clip caption, and each one reads differently.
- Natural. Clean, bare nails. Fans who look for it want a simple, real look.
- Mint. Soft, fresh and playful. It stands out in the Clips stream.
- Red. The bold classic, and a favourite with many fans.
- Nude. A quiet shade close to skin tone. It looks elegant and clean.
- French. Pale pink with white tips. Fans like the tidy, polished finish.
- Glitter. Sparkle that catches the light. It works best in good, bright lighting.
Shades look different from brand to brand, and a pedicure looks different in daylight than under indoor light. Name the closest colour and, if it matters, the exact shade.
Shoe size
Your profile uses EU sizes, from EU 35–36 up to EU 41+. Many fans have a favourite. US and UK sizes follow other scales, so check the EU size on your shoe label or insole before you choose.
Reading a creator's details
Each detail a creator fills in answers a question before a fan asks it.
- Specialties tell the fan which shots and clips she makes.
- Foot shape and arch describe her feet.
- Shoe size helps fans who look for a size.
If you are a creator, fill in every detail that applies under Details in Edit profile. If you are a fan, ask about anything missing in your request. What to ask a creator covers everything else to check. The photo guide shows how to light each shot.
Questions
Which shot type sells best?
There is no single answer. Fans look for different things, so choose the shots that show your feet at their best and name them in your captions. Soles and pedicure are common starting points.
Does nail polish change what a fan expects?
Yes. The colour sets the look. If you are not sure, natural or nude is a safe start, and a fan can ask for another colour in their request.
Which shoe size do I choose if I am between two?
Use the size printed on your shoe label and mention the exact fit in your About text. Fans like clear answers.
Do I need to show my face?
No. Feet pics work without a face, and the privacy guide explains how to stay anonymous.
