3.4 Importance of Footprints, Shoe-marks, Glove-prints, Tyre-marks

1. The footprints — the bare foot's print (the identity's lesser-but-real value — the ridge-and- creases; the size-and-gait's information); the scene's routes (the entry-exit reconstruction); the Indian lore (the khooni-pair's tradition — the barefoot's forensic culture).2. The shoe-marks — the outsole's individuality (the manufacturing's class + the wear-and- damage's individuality); the scene's impressions (the dust, mud, blood) — the casting-and- photography; the linking (the shoe's seizure-and-comparison).3. The glove-prints — the gloved criminal's trace (the "no fingerprints" myth's answer: the glove's own marks — the seams, the wear; the glove's fabric fibres).4. The tyre-marks — the vehicle's signature (the tread's design — the class; the wear-and- damage — the individual); the scene's skid analysis (the speed-and-braking's reconstruction); the vehicle's identification (the tyre's seizure-and-match).
