{"title":"Broken toe","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe feet bear a heavy load every day. If you weigh 70 kilos and take around 10,000 steps, your feet handle a total of more than 700 tons per day - roughly like carrying several cars. So it is not surprising that they sometimes become sore. We offer insoles and other foot products that provide comfort and a relieving sensation.\u003cbr\u003eThe foot is a complex structure. It contains almost a quarter of the body's bones - 26 bones in each foot - as well as 30 joints and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Together, they provide balance, stability, and mobility every time you stand or walk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBroken toe - what happens?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a broken toe, one or more of the toe's bones have cracked or broken.
