I noticed that several of the footprints show high arches and wide feet around the toes and the "balls of the feet" just next to the toes. High arches and wide feet are pretty common among Native Americans today. Makes it hard to find comfortably fitting shoes and boots. Nike makes a line of shoes for Native Americans to fit them properly.
