right foot:
length: 25.5 cm, i.e. 10.03"
ball: 26cm, i.e. 10.24"
instep: 27cm, i.e. 10.63"
left foot:
length: 26cm
ball: 25cm
instep: 26cm
For meaning of length, ball, and instep, see
When I buy shoes in U.S., those shoes that are right for my feet length are usually not high enough for my instep, and those that are right for my instep are usually too long. For your reference, here is a shoe size table from Walmart

Size 10 is right for my feet length, and size 13 is right for my instep.
I wonder whether my feet have kind of abnormal size?
When I was in elementary and middle school. I ran often, 800~1500 meters almost every day. Can that be the reason of my feet size?
Thanks!
No -- you just have a high instep. So do I. All it means is you have to patient and try on shoes and not let them talk you into something that doesn't fit or isn't right.
It's one of the reasons I go to Nordstroms. I've given up falling in love with shoe after shoe and having them not work for me. Way too disappointing. I sit down and tell the clerk what I want generally and he brings out boxes of shoes. It's more work for them, but they know their stock and what will work on my troublesome feet.
I've to add in knees to that -- so now the shoes have to be flat.
Thanks! What do you mean by " add in knees to that "?
I usually settled with shoes that were much longer than my feet.
Does higher instep tend to mean that I am better for running/jumping/walking or totally irrelevant?
Note that my feet also look kind of flat at bottom.

Not everyones knees -- just mine. My knees are bone on bone, not quite bad enough for knee replacements, but heels are out for me. Flats are what I need to wear.
I think your instep means nothing for walking or running -- it's just a high instep. I've had great luck with New Balance shoes for fit, also Munro America. None of these are cheap, but I can't wear cheap shoes. My sister can go anywhere and buy anything.... but not me.
And when you find a brand that works, keep it in mind for the next tiem you need shoes.
A chirporactor can order shoes with your custom orthotics made into them. They are expensive but in my opinion well worth it. In some instances your insurance may pay for them.
