Know your foot sole, Barefoot Footwear helps you

The sole of the foot is a part of the body that, although often goes unnoticed, plays a crucial role in our daily activities.

Walking, running, and maintaining balance are just some of the functions that depend on the sole of the foot. Let's learn about the different parts of the sole of the foot, their importance, and how proper care can improve your overall well-being.

What are the different parts of the sole of the foot called?

The heel: This is the back part of the sole of the foot and contains the calcaneus bone, the largest bone in the foot. This area absorbs most of the impact when walking or running, so it is essential that footwear provides adequate cushioning to protect it.

The arch: This is the curved area between the heel and the front of the foot. Depending on its shape, the arch can be classified as high, normal or low. Arches help distribute body weight evenly throughout the foot, and proper support is vital to prevent pain and injury.

• Longitudinal arch: It extends from the heel to the front of the foot and is divided into two parts:
• Medial arch: It is the internal arch of the foot and the highest and most visible.
• Lateral arch: Located on the outer side of the foot and is generally lower than the medial arch.
• Transverse arch: This arch extends across the foot, from one side to the other, and is located at the front of the foot.

The ball of the foot: Located just before the toes, this is the area where the metatarsal bones end. This part of the foot is essential for providing momentum and support during movement.

Toes: These include the phalanges, which are small bones that help maintain balance and provide the ability to push off when walking or running. The big toe plays a crucial role in stability and propulsion.

Foot Pads: These are fatty pads on the sole of the foot that help absorb shock and protect bone structures during daily activities. They are essential for overall foot cushioning and comfort.
