Doug Stone
Executive Director

 

 
Phil Oren has elevated the fitting of hiking boots to a new realm because he combines the old with the new and art with science. He begins with the traditional methods of evaluation and measurement of the foot, and then judiciously adds biomechanical principles of foot function. I highly recommend these hands-on clinics.

Basic Physiology of Feet
  1. Feet have app. 3,300 pores per square inch.
  2. 200,000 pores per pair of feet.
  3. For the average person sitting or lightly walking, their feet give off 50 ml of sweat in a twelve-hour day per each foot.
  4. For the average person not in humid conditions or engaged in high activities, their feet give off approximately a half pint per day and nearly 2 quarts of perspiration per week for both feet.
  5. The average person gives off 25 gallons of sweat a year per pair of feet.
  6. 55% of the perspiration escapes from the top of the boot and that can be enhanced with a moisture control sock. The balance is absorbed in the tongue, lining materials, and insulation or passes through the boot.
