Foot Trivia

People take on average 10,000 steps in a day, adding up to 115,000 miles in a lifetime, enough to circle the planet four times.
 
The feet of an individual weighing 130 pounds absorb 500 pounds of pressure with every step. This impact reaches about five million pounds of pressure each day.
 
In the same person, feet are frequently different in size.
 
Average number of miles per day women walk = 10
 
Average number of miles per day men walk = 7
 
Number of bones = 28
 
Together, both feet comprise one quarter of the body’s bones
 
Number of joints = 33

Number of tendons = 31
