Feet... :P

  • World's largest feet belongs to Matthew McGrory who wears US size 28.5 shoes. 
  • Madeline Albrecht holds the world record for most feet sniffed at 5,600. 
  • The average person takes 10,000 steps per day. That's equal to 115,000 miles in a lifetime, enough to circle the world four times. 
  • The foot accounts for 25% of the bones of our body. 
  • The average woman walks three miles per day more then the average male. 
  • Nearly four times the weight of body pressure is applied on the feet while running.
  • The ideal time to shop for shoes would be in the afternoon, because the feet swell at that time.
  • 9 out of 10 women wear shoes of smaller sizes.
  • Women suffer from foot problems 4 times more often than men.
  • Separate shoes for left and right legs were first created by the ancient Romans. Prior to that, shoes used to be worn on either of the feet.
  • There are roughly 250,000 sweat glands on a pair of feet.
  • Sweat glands in the feet produce as much as half a pint of moisture each day.
  • The pressure on the feet
  • The first shoes were invented 5,000,000 years ago during the ice age and were made from animal skins.
  • Fingernails and toenails grow faster during hot weather, pregnancy, and teenage years.
  • The average foot gets two sizes longer when a person stands up.
