Hi, Yes. But 'on foot' is not a common phrase in everyday English. I suggest 'He always walks to school'.

So, when do we use "on foot"? We got this phrase, but we seldom use it. What use of this phrase?

Hi,

For example, in a more official and formal context, such as a police officer giving evidence about an accident. The victim was proceeding through the parking lot on foot, when she was struck by a vehicle.
