The human foot is an extraordinary complex mechanism consisting of 25% of the bones in the body, held in position by many ligaments, tendons and muscles. They all synchronize their actions to provide a single step. We make this movement at a staggering 4,000-10,000 times a day over a variety of terrains. In an average lifetime our feet will travel between 240,000 and 320,000 kilometers. That's six to eight times around the world.
From children to seniors, adolescents to olympic athletes, your foot health is of prime importance.
