I propose a new 1-4 classification of inherited foot structures based on foot embryogenesis. This classification is based on our current knowledge of human embryology.

Clubfoot Deformity: the ontogenetic unwinding of the entire lateral column of the foot ends prematurely.
- The ontogenetic (torsional) unwinding (saggital plane) of the cuboid determines the adult position of the embryological lateral column of the foot.
- The ontogenetic unwinding of the talus determines the adult position of the embryological medial column of the foot.
PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity: The cuboid completes its ontogenetic development but the calcaneus and talus remain in supinatus
Primus Metatarsus Supinatus foot structure: The calcaneus completes its' ontogenetic development, but the talus remains in supinatus (and along with it, the entire medial column of the foot).
Plantargrade foot: The talus completes its' ontogenetic development
