Bare Foot,

Fore Foot,

Flat Foot,

Shoe.

Claw Foot,

Club Foot

Rabbit’s Foot,

True.

Big Toe,

Trotter Feet

Foot Pad,

Race.

Shoe Horn,

Webfoot,

Calluses,

Lace.

Big Foot,

Heel Bone,

In-Step,

Brace.

Dextral,

Dorsum,

Foot Rule.

Cast.

Foot Pad

Hallux

Splayfoot.

Last.

No matter

How large

Or small

Are feet.

The work

They do

Makes us

Complete.
