Some Facts: Did you know that 25% of the bones in your body are in your feet?
The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day and will walk 100,000 miles in their lifetime, or more than 4 trips around the world.
Women have four times as many foot problems as men.fancy, ill-fitting footwear is the main reason for this.

More than 75% of people will experience foot problems in their lifetime.

Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, a subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.
