The weight of the body should fall by a direct line through the ears, shoulder, elvow, hip, knee and the then the ankle. This correctly allows the weight even distribution over the foot to the following approximate formula, 50% bodyweight is borne by the heel which is a firm solid structure and the remaining weight is divided across the metatarsals heads, the largest and the smallest taking most of the weight as the foot more stressed.
The foot is like a tripod, the weight being borne by the heel and outer metatarsal heads. This is only a guide as forces in the foot dictate that the weight will always shift to maintain the balance.
