If it's THAT deep you need to go get an x-ray to make sure all the glass is out. Otherwise you could have some big problems later on!

clean it out real good with soap amd water really good try to find some kind of proxide or bactine nesporn somthing like that and cover it with a band aid if its to deep it may need stiches but thats yuor judgment if you decide not to go to the hospital just use a disinfectant ex proxide 2 times a day and keep it cleep try not to touch it to much and make sure you wash your hands with an antibactaial soap before doing anything with your wound and just keep an eye on the wound and the surrounding arrea look for reddness odor green or yellow puss any those signs go to the doc your getting an infection and if it dosent start to decress in the depth and get smaller after time go to the docter
hope it gets better

Getting the glass out is the first step. Remember that glass likes to hide in wounds even if you think it's all gone. If you feel like there is more in there, break out the tweezers and magnifying class. Wash the wound out with some saline, or soap and water, maybe some peroxide or Bactine, grease it up with some Neosporin, and slap and band-aid on it...
IF YOUR TETANUS SHOT IS EXPIRED, YOU NEED A NEW ONE ASAP

Alcohol swabs are best because they kill any germs that may be around your wound. You can get these at most doc clinics. If the wound is deep you may need stitches, so my advice is to clean wound with whatever you got and bandage it up and get your self to a hospital.

well i would make sure all the glass i s out. then i would rinse with clear water. warm not hot or cold. then i would soap it up with lots of suds and rinse again. and dampen it dry and put bandage on it just to keep it clean and dry and be fine by tomorrow i would think. if you have an anticeptic you can put some of that on then bandade that would be good.

You shouldn't pull a piece of glass out of your foot if it's deep. I'd say get someone to take you to a hospital and get it safetly and properly removed. Plus you may need stitiches.
