Foot Health • Education • PreventionHealthy Feet. Better Life.
Foot health matters — three generations walking together
A preventive foot-health initiative for India

Strong feet.
Stronger lives.

Save Feet India exists to help people think about their feet before they start giving them problems — through awareness, practical prevention, better footwear choices, early recognition and professional education.

Why this matters

We talk about walking, fitness and diabetes.
We must also talk about the feet that keep India moving.

Foot problems can affect work, exercise, independence and quality of life. Save Feet India aims to make foot health easier to understand — for individuals, families, health professionals and communities.

Save Feet pilot research

Listen first. Educate better.

Our initial Foot Health Matters survey captured 271 responses and highlighted a major gap between how important people believe foot safety is and how much they feel they know about protecting their feet.

271pilot survey responses
78.6%reported foot or ankle pain/discomfort at least rarely in the previous 12 months
84.1%included “very important” when asked whether foot safety matters personally
25.5%said they knew “a lot” about foot safety

This was a convenience/pilot survey and is not nationally representative. Findings are used to guide future education and research.
