Twenty-five percent of the bones in the human body are located in the feet.
The average person walks about 10,000 steps a day. During a lifetime it is thought that a person has walked enough steps to have traveled around the planet more that four times, which is approximately 115,000 miles!
The largest feet in the world belong to Matthew McGory who lives in the USA. He is 7 feet, 4 inches tall and has a shoe size of 28.5!
One in four children sleepwalk at least once between the ages of 7 and 12.
You need to use 200 muscles in your body to walk.
The feet contain approximately 250,000 sweat glands that produce as much as half a pint of moisture every day.
Feet are strong enough to support up to four times the body's weight during high impact activities, yet sensetive enough to detect a grain of sand.
