| Abstract | It has been long suspected that footwear is protective against cutaneous larva migrans. This case report describes a woman who developed cutaneous larva migrans despite wearing 'protective' footwear. We forward a hypothesis by which recently popular water shoes may actually be conducive to the development of cutaneous larva migrans rather than having a protective function. |
