Taking a brief moment, let's jump down to the Fibularis Tertius. It's a deep muscle within the anterior compartment of the lower leg. I know, you're thinking there's not much there right? How can anything be that deep? Logically understandable.
However, if you think about the different parts of the body as a series of layers, like an onion (or parfait!), but mechanically, no layer has a specific width to it. It's all piled on top of each other, attached through pulley systems with folcrums and "for science!" here we are today. Ta-da!
Anyway, back to the deep, wee muscle of the Fibularis Tertius. The Tertius actually crosses the front part of the ankle around the top and helps to lift the foot up, pulling it off the gas pedal. It pairs quite nicely with the Tibialis Anterior, which we'll get to next, while still pulling the outside of the foot up. So we'd still be everting the foot here.
