plant one's feet

I just knew he would plant his foot and break it the other way.

Have him stop and plant his feet instead of jumping into the air.

I stood up and planted my feet in front of his chair.

I just planted my feet and gave it to him.

So, better to get your feet planted before you tried to hit, they had agreed.

"At the same time, you have to keep those feet planted on the floor."

I planted my feet, not that it did me much good.

Somehow, I kept my feet planted where they were on the floor.

He planted his foot against one step and reached for me.

I planted my feet and faced him, without meeting his eyes.
