[QUOTE="StephenM, post: 381612, member: 69359"] I suspect that going barefoot is just about acceptable for young controlled Type I’s (providing the is zero chance of broken glass, dog poo, etc.). However for anybody out of their teens or Type II (often underlying damage is done before diagnosis) it is a definite NO NO!!! A friend with Type II went from a minor injury to a BKA (below knee amputation) incredibly rapidly. The speed the infection suddenly spread was truly frightening! [/QUOTE]
