The human foot is amazing! During the course of an average day, your feet endure a cummulative force of several hundred tons. The 52 bones in your feet make up about 1/4 of all the bones in your body.
Did you know that . . .
- Your nails grow fastest in hot weather, in pregnancy, & during the teen years.
- The ancient Romans were the first to create a distinct left & right shoe - previous to that all shoes could be worn on either foot.
- Shoe sizes were devised by King Edward II of England in 1324 - who declared that the diameter of one barleycorn (a third of an inch) would represent one full shoe size. Today it's still true.
- An average foot expands about 5% in volume as the day goes on - so it is best to shop for shoes in the afternoon.
- The average person engaging in non-strenuous activitity, walks about four miles every day - that's about 115,000 miles in a lifetime.

The most common foot injury is plantar fasciitis (pain under and in front of the heel). Your podiatrist can help!
