As someone who has had major foot issues, I am always reminding people how important it is to take care of your feet. This means spending money on quality, well made shoes. (like these!)
Please don’t tell me that you are running in a pair of shoes that you bought off the rack at Target. Visit a running or walking store that will assess your foot and recommend the proper shoe for you.
Here is a fun foot facts quiz I came across—how many answers will you get right? (answers below, don’t cheat!)
1. The average person takes _________ steps per day?
A. 5000 B. 6000 C. 8000
2. There are ________ bones inn each of your feet?
A. 16 B. 26 C. 50
3. Feet take a pounding! When you run, the pressure on your feet is between ______ and ______ times your body weight?
A. 1 & 3 B. 4 & 7 C. 8 & 10
4. You will likely walk _______ miles in your life?
A. 5000 B. 75000 C. 115000
5. The skin on the bottom of your feet is ______ times thicker than anywhere else on your body.
A. 10 B. 20 C. 30
You only get one set of feet in your life gang, take care of them! In fact, why don’t you put them up right now and give them a break. They deserve it!

Hey thank for sharing such great fact and figure.
6 months ago I went to a running store and bought shoes….and it was the best thing I ever did! Now that I have the right ones, and the extra support on the side of my foot…my knees don’t hurt anymore.
2 out of 5…I guess I don’t know much about my feet.
But, I guess that’s pretty typical. Unless they hurt, who thinks about their feet?
But, if they do hurt, they’re not so easy to ignore

thanks for sharing.
