More Than 25% of Your Bones Are All in Your Feet:
Each foot contains 26 bones, making a combined total of 52 bones between your two feet.
Considering the human skeleton has 206 bones in total, that's a surprising 25% concentrated just below your ankles. This intricate network of bones is what allows us to walk, run, jump, and balance with ease.
The reason for this dense cluster of bones is due to the complexity of movement your feet need to perform.
Each bone, joint, and ligament works together to support your weight, absorb shock, and adapt to uneven surfaces. So, the next time you take a step, remember you’re walking on a marvel of engineering, packed with more bones than you probably ever imagined.
