Foot Clinic of Baton Rouge

When you are walking normally, the whole foot is never flat on the ground. A normal gait starts with heel strike with weight to the outside of the foot. As we propulse forward the weight shifts to midline and then to the inside, ending with a push-off at the big toe.

The skin on the soles of your feet is thicker than it is anywhere else on your body. This protection prevents many puncture wounds.
