The foot is split into three main areas; the forefoot, the mid foot and the hind foot. Between them they contain over 100 muscles, ligaments and tendons, 26 bones and around 33 joints. They also contain about a quarter of a million sweat glands, which explains why so many people have such problems managing foot odour. There’s nothing better for young feet than walking barefoot, whenever it’s safe. It helps muscles develop, allows the skin to breathe.

Walking is now painfree. After sixty years involvement with rugby, athletics, basketball tennis & golf not to mention just living, it was no surprise to me that wear and tear on my feet produced pain in walking. Could there be a "cure" in orthotics? – I asked an expert. The expert said "let me see you walking - let me see your footfall" And for the first time in 66 years I learned how to walk. And walking is now painfree.
