Stand facing the edge of door, one foot on each side of door.You will find you are not able to stand in toes. Why??

Because the tip of your toes are a bit forward than your center of gravity and in reality you are using your toes and hills to balance yourself...so, when you attempt to not use your hills and only your toes, you would need to put your center of gravity exactly above your toes to achieve balance, but the door won't let you.
