The present study was aimed at measuring foot indices of 150 male subjects and thereby providing a baseline anthropometric data that is of significance in forensic science, orthopedics and other allied health sciences. The study was carried out on male subjects 18years and above. Footedness was analyzed by using the criterion, like kicking the ball or preference of the subject to use a particular foot while initiating walking. Of the subjects analyzed, majority of them were found to be right footed.
