Don't worry, it'll eventually work its way out. If you're concerned, then go to a doctor.

You should get it looked at by a doctor as soon as poss.
What may have happened is that a shard of glass has punctured your skin just like a splinter would do. When you've subsequently put pressure on your foot by walking it will have pushed the shard beneath the skin and into the muscle or tissue of your foot. If this is the case the glass won't come out of it's own accord and will need to be removed using a very simple procedure. For the time being apply an antiseptic treatment to the affected area and avoid putting weight on your foot. If it's painful to move your foot then keep it as still as possible. Pain will be caused by movement of the glass and any movement could lodge the shard deeper into your foot.
If the shard is protruding from the skin then soak your foot in warm water to soften the skin (Magnesium Sulfate paste will also work) and then have someone very carefully remove the shard with sterile tweezers. If this proves particularly painful then see a doctor.

I would definately get it looked at as soon as possible. See a doctor or go to an ER since it could be infected and get much worse. Better safe than sorry.

a little glass will come out on its own, just like how a sliver wart or scar etc eventually dissapears..make sure your not neglecting it and putting peroxide and bactine on it since feet get smelly and ucky...keep the germs at bay and your foot will be okay :-)

If it gets any worse, go to a doctor. Sounds like it may be getting infected.
