Abstract
Barefoot walking is relatively common in developing countries including India, due to many social, religious and cultural factors. Such a behavior exposes them for injury and wounds in feet. Poverty and illiteracy induced negligence add fuel to fire, leading to delayed and insufficient/inadequate medical attention and fury of the lesions further aggravated by associated diabetic peripheral neuropathy, infection and peripheral vascular disease, terminating unfortunately even into amputations.
