Our feet - we stand on them, walk with them, trust them step by step. And although they do something for us every day that often nobody sees, we usually only pay attention to them when they make themselves felt - through pain, tiredness or discomfort.
More than anatomy: the foot as a foundation
The human foot is a biomechanical marvel: 26 bones, 33 joints, over 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments - precisely coordinated so that we can stand, walk, work and balance. But its importance goes beyond the physical.
We at ATLAS know: The foot does not think - but it realises when it is neglected. Especially in everyday working life, when long periods of standing, hard floors and heavy loads are the norm. Then every step is noticeable - or not, if the shoe does exactly what it is supposed to do: support, cushion and protect.
A little wisdom from the ground
On Foot Day, we don't just want to say thank you - we also want to inspire. So here are a few thoughts to guide us - step by step:
"The fewest missteps are made with your feet."
"Nice shoes may not get you anywhere - but they will get you there in style."
"If you live large, you need good shoes."
"Good style starts with your feet."
"The first impression? Starts with the first step."
"What you wear deserves care."
"Well-being starts on the floor."
"Give your feet the home they deserve - day after day."
"Take care of your feet - they are the foundation of your life's journey."
"Happiness begins underfoot - when the path feels good."
"Because every path is better with the right feeling underfoot."
"Not every step is easy. But it can feel good"
"Your feet have 26 bones, 33 joints - and only one pair of shoes. Choose wisely."
"The real support is the one you can't feel - under the sole."
"The foot doesn't think. But it realises when you neglect it."
Every journey begins on the ground
Even if "Foot Day" is only on the calendar once a year - for us, every day is a day to pay attention to what supports us.
