Ever think upon the soles as being the arch angels of inspiration? There's a lot of heavy weighted matter that rests upon their little pit-a-pats.

It might be fun to take a look at the words that arise from our most direct connection with terra firma as we attempt to ascend from them into the infinite.

I'll proffer some obvious, and not-so-obvious ones, and see whether any of you may enjoy following me, nelipot barefoot or not, down this rarely trodden word path:

podium
podiatrist
podiatry Added edit: chiropody; chiropodist
pad (as a verb, it is immediately kinetic and onomatopeoic)
pelmatogram
hamble (why would anyone want to do this to a dog?)
pigeon-toed
slew-foot (not sure of spelling; too lazy to liu)
flat-footed
en pointe
............to get us started....or nowhere
