== == Zero or 14.7 pounds per square inch, take your pick. The atmospheric pressure is about 14.7 PSI (In REAL measurement systems that is about 101 kiloPascals). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure But the pressure ON a person comes from the inside AND the outside. So the pressure caused by the atmosphere ON a person is about zero. One often sees deep sea films where the commentator refers to the crushing pressure of seawater....Not for the animals living in it! They don't feel a thing as long as they don't go zooming up and down too fast.

∙ 16y agoIf it is smooth walking where no additional forces are added except for the shift in body weight, and if the average person weighs 150 lbs and has an average surface area on one foot of 25 square inches, then each square inch would support about 6 pounds per square inch. That is when all the body weight is shifted onto one foot at a time. This doesn't actually happen this way when we walk, but this may give you a general idea of the forces involved.

Compare the Human foot to a chimpanzee foot?
Chimpanzees have a foot that compliments their part-terrestial-part-arboreal lifestyle. They are capable of walking bipedally for only very short distances before they resort to walking on all fours. This means that their foot is not designed for weight bearing. Most of their weight is concentrated on the padded knuckles of their hands. Their big toes are very similar to a human opposable thumb because they can grasp things like tree trunks and branches. Human feet on the other hand complement a completely terrestrial lifestyle. One hundred percent of our weight is distributed on our feet. They are excellent for both walking and running. Our big toes are not opposable because they are designed for providing balance in upright walking.
