TODAY IS FOOT, I MEAN FEET DAY

FEATURED FEET FACTS:

The largest feet in the world belong to a Mr Matthew McGrory who lives in America whose feet are a whopping size 28½ (US size). The 7ft4in resident of Florida, USA has to fork out a massive $22,745 for a pair of shoes to fit his unusually large feet.

Each foot produces more than a cup of perspiration per day. More when you exercise, at least one pint!

For two out of every ten people the second toe is the longest.

Do yours smell? Feet have approximately 250,00 sweat glands

The big toe is called the Hallux.

Most people have 26 bones in each foot, but some people have 28. These extras, called supernumerary sesamoids, are found on the bottom of the foot just behind the big toe.
