Hello, walking barefoot sometimes is good for our health. U need to wash your cut thoroughly with disinfectant liquid n water. Are there many stray animals in the area u walked barefoot back home.
Next Steps
Do not worry, u wouldn't have got infected. Need to see your wound/cut for it's depth. Only deeper cuts or bleeding wounds can let the virus in even if it was present.
Health Tips
Do u have any pain or swelling over the cut u got? Please do consult here for further assistance

Hi., I can understand your concern
No need to worry.
Rabies is a viral disease, will contaminate through wetness and it'll show symptoms in short span.
