How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical endurance or strength of one's legs, often in the context of walking long distances or hiking. It implies a sense of stamina rather than just the technical skill of foot movement. People frequently use it to boast about their ability to keep going on a long trip without getting tired.
Examples
I've walked so much, my footwork is actually pretty good.
Do you usually train your footwork?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with technical footwork in sports like boxing or dancing, which is better described as 步法. 腳力 is strictly about the physical capacity of the legs to support movement.
