State legislation is also important for determining the conversion factor to be used for everyday land surveying and real estate transactions, although the difference (two parts per million) is of no practical significance given the precision of normal surveying measurements over short distances (usually much less than a mile).

The word "foot" is used to refer to a "...linear measure was in Old English (the exact length has varied over time), this being considered the length of a man's foot; a unit of measure used widely and anciently. In this sense the plural is often foot. The current inch and foot are implied from measurements in 12c." [1] This is approximately pyramid-shaped and is comprised of three cuneiform bones, the navicular bone and the cuboid bone. This bone of the foot forms the arches of the feet. They are actually quite a miracle of engineering, forming a structure which is both flexible and sturdy and supports the arch of the foot.

Because a Paris point is 2⁄ 3 of a centimetre, a centimetre is 3⁄ 2 Paris points, and the formula is as follows: The word "foot" also has a musical meaning; a "...metrical foot (late Old English, translating Latin pes, Greek pous in the same sense) is commonly taken to represent one rise and one fall of a foot: keeping time according to some, dancing according to others." [1]The United States is the only industrialized country that uses the (international) foot in preference to the meter in its commercial, engineering, and standards activities. [4] The foot is legally recognized in the United Kingdom; road distance signs must use imperial units (however, distances on road signs are always marked in miles or yards, not feet; bridge clearances are given in meters as well as feet and inches), while its usage is widespread among the British public as a measurement of height. [5] [6] The foot is recognized as an alternative expression of length in Canada. [7] Both the UK and Canada have partially metricated their units of measurement. The measurement of altitude in international aviation (the flight level unit) is one of the few areas where the foot is used outside the English-speaking world. Each size of shoe is considered suitable for a small interval of foot lengths, typically limited by half-point of the shoe size system. BS350:Part 1:1974 Conversion factors and tables Part 1.

When choosing a running or walking shoe, a person with overpronation can choose shoes that have good inside support—usually by strong material at the inside sole and arch of the shoe. It is usually visible. The inside support area is marked by strong greyish material to support the weight when a person lands on the outside foot and then roll onto the inside foot. a b Andersson, Bendt.

Although shoe size systems are not fully standardised, the ISO/TC 137 had released a technical specification ISO/TS 19407:2015 for converting shoe sizes across various local sizing systems. Even though the problem of converting shoe sizes accurately has yet to be fully resolved, this standard serves as "a good compromise solution" for shoe-buyers.

Task

Metric measurements in millimetres (mm) or centimetres (cm), with intervals of 5mm and 7.5mm are used in the international Mondopoint system (USSR/Russia and East Asia). An indication in centimetres or inches can mean the length of the foot or the length of the shoe's inner cavity. It is believed that the ancient Egyptians were the first to use the foot as a unit of measurement, as they used the cubit, which was equal to the length of a forearm, and divided it into smaller units, including the foot.The foot has been used as a unit of measurement throughout much of recorded history – including in Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire – and the origin of the name is generally accepted to relate to the average size of an adult, male foot (or possibly shoe). Originally divided into sixteen component units, the Romans also divided the foot into twelve uncia – the origin of the modern English term inch. The superficial layer of posterior leg muscles is formed by the triceps surae and the plantaris. The triceps surae consists of the soleus and the two heads of the gastrocnemius. The heads of gastrocnemius arise on the femur, proximal to the condyles, and the soleus arises on the proximal dorsal parts of the tibia and fibula. The tendons of these muscles merge to be inserted onto the calcaneus as the Achilles tendon. The plantaris originates on the femur proximal to the lateral head of the gastrocnemius and its long tendon is embedded medially into the Achilles tendon. The triceps surae is the primary plantar flexor. Its strength becomes most obvious during ballet dancing. It is fully activated only with the knee extended, because the gastrocnemius is shortened during flexion of the knee. During walking it not only lifts the heel, but also flexes the knee, assisted by the plantaris. [9]
