A foot encased in a running shoe has washed ashore in an inlet in False Creek, Vancouver, British Columbia, bringing to 11 the number of mysterious feet so clad that have appeared on beaches in the area since 2007, ABC News is reporting.

Eight of the feet have washed up around Vancouver and three more have run aground in Washington state, Stephen Fonseca of the British Columbia Coroners Service tells ABC.

None of the cases is deemed suspicious, according to ABC. Human remains can come apart naturally in water, ABC explains. Fonseca also says the feet could have come from people who have met their ends jumping over one of the many waterway bridges in the area.

"Running shoes of today are more buoyant," Fonseca tells ABC. "It's a very rational explanation that when the feet do disarticulate, through marine scavenging and decomposition, the shoe will bring the foot back up to the surface and it will float there until it reaches shoreline."

The coroners service will evaluate the foot using DNA testing and profiles based on where and how the foot arrived, its estimated age, and when the running shoe was manufactured, ABC reports.
