Hi all,

I am looking to conduct a survey on the state of homeless feet in our city. I have overwhelming support from homeless shelters around the city who are willing to have their staff distribute surveys and collect results. The aim (and I hope this is not too premature) is to find a way for homeless people to be given appropriate footwear and/or podiatric care. Maybe its just me, but I can't help but be moved when seeing a homeless man walking down the street on a cold morning with bits of torn-up blanket wrapped around his feet.
Survey questions will be relatively general (and yet to be approved by an ethics board):
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
How old are the shoes you are wearing right now?
Where did you get them?
How far do you walk in one day?
Would you like a new pair of shoes?
What type of shoes would you prefer to wear?
I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs in place that already address the need for shoes amongst the homeless? Does anyone know of any published material that relates to the feet of homeless people? :confused:
I have heard that it takes 6-8 weeks for a homeless person to wear through a pair of shoes. (I read it on the internet so it must be true :rolleyes: )
Thank you for any help
:)
