“Stand Tall”
Thanks to your feet, you can stand tall, and run, jump, swim, kick a ball, walk across a balance beam and do a myriad of other incredible feats!
Ballet dancers can rise onto the tips of their toes, standing en pointe; tight rope walkers use their feet to grasp the rope as they cross; and for those special, unfortunate people born without hands, their feet are the perfect substitute, doing nearly everything we'd use our hands for, including painting masterpieces.
This website celebrates the astonishing human foot, looking at it in new, marvelous ways.

As a practicing podiatrist, having treated over 10,000 pairs of feet, I am committed to helping America look at their feet, as they never have before. More than learning about feet, I am committed to teaching people superb foot and ankle health. Our feet are our contact with the earth; if they malfunction, our entire body is at risk to develop areas of pain or problems.
This site is a work in progress. When finished it will be a resource for "everything feet," from how to prevent foot infections to understanding how the foot functions when in outer space-without gravity to keep us on the ground.
As you read this site, I hope you enjoy learning about how incredible your feet are, and you go on to have healthy, wonderful and beautiful feet for the rest of your life. If you have a question or a comment, or an interesting story about your feet, please feel free to drop me an email.
Yours in good health,
