How the Foot Works

4. Gearing Phase
Big toe along with 2nd and 1st metatarsal propel body weight forward.

2. Suspension Phase
Spring ligament captures weight, acting like trampoline.

3. Locking Phase
Lateral portion of foot becomes rigid forming a forefoot lever.

1. Breaking Phase
The heel contacts the ground, forward momentum is reduced, shock is absorbed and foot begins to pronate.
