Foot-shaped footwear for foot-shaped feet. Here are 4 fun foot facts to spice up your day! 1. The Achilles tendon - at the back of your foot, above your heel - is the strongest tendon in your body. An average pair of feet will walk around 110,000 miles, or 220,000,000 steps, in a lifetime. This takes serious strength and durability! 2. Big Toe – it’s where the power’s at! The metatarsophalangeal toe joints in each of your feet bear 40-60% of your weight during the stance phase of your gait, and your big toe (or your hallux, if you want to get scientific) takes more of this burden than the other toes. Your big toes make it possible to walk and run upright; if you lost one, you’d have to retrain your foot to use different muscles to replace it. 3. Your feet can continue to grow through life. Though generally your feet settle around age 20, they continue to change and grow. After 40, your feet can grow by up to half a shoe size every ten years. This is because feet flatten and elongate with age. Your feet will also grow slightly if you become pregnant, due to hormones and the increased weight you’ll be carrying around. 4. Some societies don’t do shoe. People in societies where it’s more common to go barefoot or wear basic sandals have stronger feet than those who wear shoes. Indigenous peoples in Kenya and Northern Mexico are renowned for their long-distance ‘barefoot’ running abilities. #FunFacts #FootHealth #Vivobarefoot #ZeroDrop #Barefoot #VIVOHEALTH
