When you stand on your toes, the primary muscles used are the gastrocnemius and soleus, which make up the calf muscles. The gastrocnemius is the larger muscle that gives the calf its shape, while the soleus lies underneath it and helps with stability. Additionally, the tibialis posterior and various intrinsic muscles of the foot assist in maintaining balance and supporting the arch. Together, these muscles work to elevate the heel and allow for balance on the toes.
