    If you keep on putting your best foot forward, you won’t get anywhere.

    Your feet will just get farther and farther apart, until you either do the splits or fall over.

    Back in the day when men wore knee breeches, they would study the shape of their legs in a mirror, and then stop in the doorway with – literally – they best foot forward, so all the ladies could admire their nice looking legs. (I’m a history teacher, and it’s weird stuff such as this that makes my job so much fun!)

    Since very few of us have more than two feet, it would be more appropriate to say “Put your better foot forward.”

    When you’re putting your pants on one leg at a time, put your best foot forward. Then take a single step to begin a journey of a thousand miles, walking in my shoes. And when you finally meet a man who has NO feet, you’ll understand why there’s only a single set of footprints in the sand.
