Comment

Agree something fishy is going on. I am trying to work out whether or not under-pronation is the same as Supapronation. The page on Pronation - This needs to be either consolidated with the Foot type article or at least linked to it. I am not an expert but I can see over lap and possible contradiction between these articles BackwardsBoy (talk) 07:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The definition of pronation seems to be contradicted. Pronation being rotation of 'foot from heel to toe' yet overpronation is 'roll on the inside of the foot'. Isn't that a rotation in a different axis, that is the axis along the foot ? PeterGrecian 11:20, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Any chance someone could translate this into non doctor-speak. Seems a bit odd to have to go and look up that hallux actually means big-toe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.171.192.232 (talk) 01:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge proposal

I'm not sure why this article was originally created. It lacks references and its scope seems unclear. I have proposed it should be merged into the foot article at talk:Foot#Merge proposal. --Fama Clamosa (talk) 16:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

merge

great idea to merge Foot type with Foot as they are both the same subject and a foot isnt a big thing so best to do so. :)

Confusing Wording

Under "Flat Feet", what is meant by the wording "It is not a common misconception that those..."? This needs to be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.163.150.7 (talk) 17:02, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Style

This should be re-written in plain English. Jargon should be explained or dumped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.69.69 (talk) 09:50, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Be clear

And what is the "lateral side" of a heel? Which way is the "medial direction"? Isn't there a less-fancy way of referring to the "metatarsus" (sounds like some kind of dinosaur)? ... Being unable to clearly explain something simple as this is a shame —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.29.98.177 (talk) 05:44, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Forefoot Type

I think somewhere should be a discussion of the different forefoot types, best described in ballet but can also be relevant to shoe choice in general. The characterization hinges on the relationship between the toes, and two links I've found so far are http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1083/is_3_82/ai_n24386196/ and http://www15.plala.or.jp/miagolare/Eng_Fitting_Chart.html Discordianchao5 (talk) 03:33, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

What, no images?

As evidenced by the other comments, I'm not the only one who has trouble visualizing the definitions in the article. I guess the text makes sense to anatomists, but those don't need the article, they know it anyway. This is a very important matter as most people treat their feet wrong. --82.113.122.165 (talk) 07:59, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
