How people walk on North Pole of the earth?

How people walk on North Pole of the earth if it is just opposite from the top (South Pole). I mean, why do not they feel reverse when walking on north pole.

1. They walk using a combination of their feet, ankles, knees, legs and hips
2. By putting one foot in front of the other actually, you are standing straight up no matter what part of the earth you are on, it is all a amtter of perspective
3. Because a sphere has no "top" or "bottom" save for an arbitrary grid that people place on it to define and explain if it has a rotational axis. The actual "bottom" or "down" of a sphere is *in* toward the center of the sphere, where the center of gravity lies. So wherever you are on the sphere, "down" is beneath your feet (or over your head, if you're standing on your hands). Therefore, if you're standing on the North Pole, South Pole, equator, Las Vegas, Afghanistan, Shanghai... "down" is... beneath your feet. So you never "feel reverse" *anywhere* on Earth. If you look at the graphic below, all of the lines are pointing "down" by pointing *in*.
4. Gravity holds the walker firmly in place. The speed at the pole is zero, it's much faster at the equator in fact.
