ABSTRACT
Micro-cellular rubber (MCR) foot-wear has been used widely over the past several years for the anaesthetic feet of leprosy. Although MCR has got good shock absorbing and moulding qualities, many tend to reject the foot-wear because of the stigma of the disease which it carries. Two newer models of foot-wear which would meet the demands of anaesthetic sole and avoid the stigma because of their resemblance to foot-wear available in the market were tried. Model mark II fulfilled the needs and was acceptable to the patients. Such models must be tried and acceptable and effective foot-wear need to be made available.
