How do the cells at the bottom of your feet not get squished by your body weight ?

Question

Edit for more clarification.
Could someone provide a more physics, structure of cell, sharing of weight over cells, based explanation?

Answer 1

They’re not just cells, they’re skin, muscle, and bone – meaning the cells have formed complex structures that can do more than their individual components.

If you think about it that way, if your skin muscles and bones couldn’t support your body weight, we’d never have been able to evolve in the first place.

If you could somehow focus your entire body weight onto the area of a single cell, it would presumably crush it, but that’s not the situation.
