More Fun Foot Facts:

The American Podiatric Medical Association says the average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day.  Those cover several miles, and they all add up to about 115,000 miles in a lifetime—more than four times the circumference of the globe.

There are times when you’re walking that the pressure on your feet exceeds your body weight, and when you’re running, it can be three or four times your weight.
