My dog always avoids glass she can see.. and while she does some times get splinters from glass, and once a nasty cut from a shard, it never slows her down at the time.
People don't have anywhere *near* the perceptions of beasts, though, so hidden caltrops work better.. but I'd personally go with the difficult terrain + stealth vs perception or immboilized till end of their next turn.
Yeah losing a move action is punishment and really once you know they are there you just have to move without lifting you feet. So difficult terrain if you know the are there or immobilised while you take the damn things out of your foot.
