outline and 3-D foot
shape. . Ergonomics, v39 n6 p853(9)
Abstract: Pronated flat foot and standard type foot are the two most
contrasting variations of three dimensional (3-D) foot shape. The
posterior flexion angle (PFA) of medial axis is related to the
three-dimensional foot shape. The standard type foot is characterized by
well-developed plantar arch and straight foot axis. However, it is rare
among the general population. Pronated flat foot has larger PFA. Shoe
manufacturers can improve shoe quality by incorporating the features of a
pronated foot.

According to chicken magnate, Frank Perdue "It takes a tough man to make a
tender chicken,"
however what he may not be aware of is in Spanish this translates to "It
takes a sexually stimulated man to make a chicken affectionate." Fowl
deeds, indeed.
