AB - OBJECTIVE::
 to explore attitudes towards patients' self-reported data about foot health-related beliefs from a behavioural and attitudinal perspective.
 
 METHODS::
 a sample of 282 participants of a mean age of 39.46 ± 16.026 came to a health centre where self-reported demographic, clinical characteristics and beliefs relating to foot health data were registered, informants' completed all the stages of the research process.
 
 RESULTS::
 the results of the analysis revealed an 8-factor factorial structure based on (1) podiatric behaviours, (2) the intention to carry out protective behaviour, (3) attitudinal beliefs, (4) normative beliefs, (5) needs, (6) apathy, (7) self-care, and (8) the general perception of foot health. They all explained 62.78% of the variance, and were considered as independent variables in a regression analysis to determine which provided the best explanations for the importance attributed to foot health.
 
 CONCLUSIONS::
 the participants in the study revealed a positive attitude in relation to foot health care and responsible behaviour.
