Fun history: the word “pedestrian” comes from Latin pes/pedis = “foot.” Same root as pedal, podiatry, biped. Language is full of footsteps you don’t notice until you look down.

Quick self-check: after a walk, look at your shoe soles. Uneven wear (inside vs outside) can hint at gait patterns that affect knees/hips/back. If pain persists, a chiropodist can help.
Probably wise to stay indoors at the moment, though.

Your feet have 26 bones, 33 joints, and 100+ muscles/tendons/ligaments—about a quarter of your body’s bones are in your feet. Built for shock absorption, balance, and propulsion. Treat them like the engineering marvel they are.

Wounds That Don't Heal Need to Be Checked
Your feet are covered most of the day. If you're diabetic, periodic screening is important for good health. Numbness is often a sign of diabetic foot and can mask a sore or wound.

Standing in one spot is far more tiring than walking. The reason for this is that demands are being made on the same few muscles for a length of time #footfacts

Why Live with Pain and Numbness in Your Feet?
Suffering from this type of pain? You may have a foot condition called Morton's neuroma. Morton's neuroma may develop due to ill-fitting footwear and preexisting foot deformities. We can help.

Since heel spurs are often asymptomatic, they are usually diagnosed only when found incidentally on an X-ray taken for another reason. Nevertheless, if you have heel pain, and particularly if you have plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis, it may be worth it to see if you have heel spurs too
