Why do the bottom of your feet hurt after walking on concrete all day? What is it that’s even being affected? The skin or muscle or bone or nerves or something else?
In: Biology
The weight of your entire body is supported on your skeleton, which is mostly rigid. Now consider that the bottoms of your feet are the cushion between your hard bones and the hard floor. Ever have a person with a bony bottom sit on your lap? That’s the pressure the soles of your feet are feeling, and it hurts. That’s why wearing soft shoes or standing on a soft mat help.
