Walk to a place on foot

I know what "walk to a place" means. I'm wondering what "walk to a place on foot" means.

Here's an example:

Kaya served two and a half years behind bars on drug-related charges before authorities released prisoners who qualified for the new regulation. All the prisoners’ feet were injured because they had to walk to their homes on foot, Kaya said.

HUBLOT I'm wondering what "walk to a place on foot" means. On foot is an idiom; it means to travel or move by walking or running, as opposed to riding something. In the text, however, I beleive it merely serves to assert the idea, rather than present it, since it is already mentioned that they had to walk .
