    how do you know if you're left or right footed? I know I'm right handed because there are certain things I can do better with that hand, writing, holding a cup,throwing a ball etc. The only reason I know I'm right footed is that I can kick a ball harder with that foot. There's no other reason that I can think of, I'm not better at turning left over turning right for example.
    So how do you know if your left or right footed having never kicked a ball?

    In the grand scheme of things, and in a non-sporting sense, it surely doesn't matter a damn what your predominate foot is?

    I'm way better at taking left corners than right corners, but thats probably due to no on coming traffic.

    Stand with both feet together, have someone that doesn't like you push from behind. You'll naturally move one foot forward before the other, you're weaker foot.

    Or, run and slide on your tiles or whatever, you'll again put your weak foot forward so as to keep most of your weight on the trailing foot (thus proving it's your stronger foot)

    Same thing when hoovering, although I've never tried this, as I am a man

    If you played football as well since you were a kid you would likely kick people with both feet.:)
