Friday Foot Fact

Week 16

It's Friday and I'm giving a tiny foot fact, like in baby feet tiny! Ever notice how baby feet are so chubby?
The foot of a child has an abundant layer of fat all around it so that the bones of the foot are well protected. This layer of fatty tissues will disappear in the first couple of year of the child's life while the foot develops.

Not only are a baby's foot chubby but usually the toes are pretty much the same length all the way through and the arch of the foot is not very visible, giving the look of a flat foot.

The growth of the foot varies greatly,  some will have a very rapid growth in the second and third year of life, another through the seventh and eight year to have a final growth spur in puberty. Our feet stop growing when we reach the age of 20 in general.

I hope you've enjoyed a the Friday foot fact, tiny but interesting. Last week fact was not published due to a computer melt down, very glad to be back at it today and have lots more to say about feet and aesthetics in general. Have a great weekend everyone!
