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.
在过去几年中，微孔橡胶（MCR）鞋已被广泛用于麻风病患者麻木的足部。尽管MCR具有良好的减震和塑形性能，但由于其带有疾病的污名，许多人还是倾向于拒绝穿这种鞋。人们尝试了两种新型号的鞋，它们既满足麻木脚底的需求，又因其与市场上现有的鞋子相似而避免了污名问题。II型型号满足了需求，患者也能接受。必须对这类型号进行试用，并且需要提供可接受且有效的鞋子。
