Our feet have the ability to communicate a great deal of vital information, not just about the world around us but also about our own bodies and how we navigate through space. But it’s hard to hear what they have to say when they’re shoved into shoes most of the day.
Feet have more nerve endings per square centimeter than nearly any other part of the body. Their job is to gauge the grade, slope, texture, and temperature of the earth below our feet. This information is then rapidly communicated to our brains to help us respond in a way that assists in how we walk and keeps us standing upright.
