Your feet carry you through every step of life—walking, running, moving—and yet they’re often the most overlooked part of the body. We rarely think about them… until something goes wrong. An injured or broken foot can stop you in your tracks.

Here are some amazing facts about your feet:

1. Each foot contains 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, and 19 muscles—working together in perfect harmony.
2. Fourteen bones are located in your toes alone.
3. The soles of your feet hold around 250,000 sweat glands and countless nerve endings—more per square centimeter than anywhere else in your body.
4. On average, your feet release about a cup of moisture every day.
5. The skin on your feet is the thickest on your body, built to withstand the pressure of supporting you.
6. Your right and left foot rarely move in the same exact pattern when you walk. In fact, during normal walking, your whole foot is never flat on the ground at once.
7. Stress can actually make your feet more vulnerable to viruses, like the one that causes warts.
8. Aches and pains in your back, head, or even digestive system can sometimes be traced back to problems in your feet.
