Our feet are mostly ignored until they hurt.
Why are your feet are so important:
1) They are the foundation of your body, literally.
2) They play a sensory role, acting as the interface between you and your external environment, and guide to better movement.
3) Your feet play a major role in your movement independence - walking, climbing, crouching, crawling, running, etc.
