amazing feet
The foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments and 19 muscles and tendons.
A quarter of all the bones in your body are in your feet.
There are 250,000 sweat glands in a pair of feet, which can excrete as much as a quarter of a litre of moisture a day.
Your feet may be different sizes. Buy shoes for the larger one.
Your feet expand slightly through activity during the day, so don’t go shopping for shoes first thing in the morning.
The average person takes between 8,000 and 10,000 steps a day, which adds up to about 115,000 miles over a lifetime. That's the equivalent to walking around the world four times.
Gravity-induced pressure means your feet have to bear two to three times your body weight when you walk, and four to five times when you run.
Your toenails grow about 0.1mm a day, and 1cm over 3 months.
Your skin makes up about 16% of your total body weight.
Your body creates an entirely new outer layer of skin (epidermis) every month, and most household dust is composed of the old skin you’ve shed.
Your skin is thinnest at your eyelids (0.5mm) and thickest on the palms of your hands and soles of your feet (4mm).
About 1 in 6 people in the UK have Athlete’s Foot at any one time.
