shoeprints
Tracks from footwear
Shoeprints are the impressions left by shoes on a surface—footprints made by footwear rather than bare feet.
The term appears most often in forensic contexts, where investigators analyze shoeprints to identify suspects or place someone at a crime scene: Police found shoeprints in the mud beneath the window.
