(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
This article is about a foot as part of the human body. For foot as a unit of length see foot (unit of length). For foot as used in poetry see foot (poetry). If you were got here by searching for 'toe' and are looking for a topic in physics, you probably want to see theory of everything.
A right foot.
The feet (singular "foot") are the lower extremities of the leg, and are used by human beings for bipedal locomotion, also known as walking.
The pair foot and feet are one of seven mutated English plurals.
The structures of the human foot and hand are variations on the same basic five-digit anatomy, in common with many other vertebrates. They are also the most complex, comprising half the bones in the body.
In many animals, the parts of the body analogous to the feet and hands are often known as paws.
The medical speciality related to treatment of the feet is podiatry.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A foot is a unit of length, the original measure being the length of a man's foot.The most commonly used foot today is the imperial unit, the foot currently defined to be 0.3048 meters. This unit is sometimes denoted with an apostrophe (ex. 30' = 30 feet).
The foot as a measure was used in almost all cultures. The first known standard foot measure was from Sumeria, where a definition is given in a statue of Gudea of Lagash from around 2575 BC. The imperial foot was adapted from an Egyptian measure by the Greeks, with a subsequent larger foot being adopted by the Romans.
In addition to the current standard imperial foot, there is also a slightly different U.S. survey foot, used only by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, defined as exactly 12 U.S. survey inches, approximately 30.48006 cm. (See inch for more on the survey inch.)
