Abstract:
With the development of societies, diabetic foot ulcers have become one of the most common diseases requiring lower extremity amputation. The early treatment and prevention of diabetic foot ulcers can considerably reduce the possibility of amputation. Using footwear to redistribute and relieve plantar pressure is one of the important measures for the treatment and prevention of diabetic foot ulcers. Thus, the evaluation and prediction of the distribution of plantar pressure play an important role in designing footwears. Herein, the finite element method was used to study plantar pressure under two kinds of foot models, namely, the skeletal structure foot model and the whole foot model, to explore the influence of human bones on the pressure of the soles of the feet and obtain accurate foot pressure. Simulation results showed that under the two models, the plantar pressure and the pressure from the footwear with ethylene vinyl acetate were all reduced. The total deformation demonstrated a slight increase. These stresses are very useful as they enable the design of suitable orthotic footwear that reduces the amount of stress in individuals with diabetic foot ulcers.

Abstract:
Objective The purpose of this systematic study is to provide clear, patient-focused, recent, evidence-based, and consensus recommendations for footwear and footwear modifications with effects that are globally relevant in OA knee. The identification and quantitative rating of studies estimating 1st and 2nd KAM by wearing different types of footwear and insoles in patients with OA knee. Method: Five databases were searched. A full search of 258 articles was found. To be included in this study, the population should be with OA of any grade without any ambulatory aids, male and female were included with age group above 54 years. For the intervention, all the types of shoes and any kind of modification in the shoes were included. The Primary outcome of interest relating to the biomechanical risk of disease progression was the 1st and 2nd Knee Adduction Moment. Eligible studies were pooled using meta-analysis. Result: Twenty-three studies were included with a total population of 841. Variable stiffness shoe (Mean Difference MD: -0.27; 95% CI: -0.34, -0.21) and Moleca (Mean Difference MD: -0.25; 95% CI: -0.56, 0.05) (Mean Difference MD: -0.25; 95% CI: -0.56, 0.05) have a comparably large statistically significant reduction in KAM with low heterogeneity (Ch2 = 1.49, I2 = 0%). The quality of all the studies is moderate (modified Downs and Black quality checklist) and low to moderate risk of bias (QUADAS 2). Conclusion: Biomechanical parameters related to the medial knee load, including first peak EKAM and second peak EKAM, were reduced with the use of footwears and footwear modification, apart from the mobility shoes in first peak KAM and MBT in second peak KAM in comparison with barefoot. VSS and Moleca show significant changes in KAM. Future studies need to consider in terms of height of arch in LWI, duration of footwear usage, material, and rigidity of insole, consider the grades of OA knee for baseline for disease specific recommendation. However, based on our study, the footwear and its modifications show an immediate reduction in EKAM. VSS and Moleca have greater effect in reducing EKAM.

Abstract:
Footwear interventions, including shoe insoles and foot orthoses, have the capacity to enhance balance control and gait in older people. This review assessed the evidence for the effect of footwear interventions on static and dynamic balance performance and gait in older populations and explored proposed theories for underlying sensorimotor and mechanical mechanisms. We searched the Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL (the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and AMED databases and conducted hand searches. Of 115 relevant articles screened, 14 met the predefined inclusion criteria. Articles were grouped into one of three categories based on balance task (static balance performance during quiet standing, dynamic balance performance during walking, and dynamic balance performance during perturbed standing or functional tasks) and were scored for methodological quality using the Downs and Black Quality Index tool. Footwear interventions seem to alter underlying strategies controlling static and dynamic movement patterns through a combination of sensorimotor and mechanical mechanisms in older people, including those with chronic sensory and musculoskeletal conditions. Evidence shows a consistent trend toward footwear interventions markedly improving lateral stability measures, which are predictors of falls in the elderly. In-depth investigation of neurophysiologic responses to footwear interventions is necessary to help confirm any sensorimotor adaptations. The long-term effects of footwear interventions on balance, gait, and the prevention of falls in older people require further investigation. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 103(6): 516–533, 2013)

Abstract:
Health and well-being’ footwear positions itself in the footwear market between high street footwear and specialist therapeutic footwear. Manufacturers in this footwear category promote benefits when compared with standard footwear. However, the full exploration and validation of such proposed benefits requires scientific exploration through the application of footwear biomechanics concepts and techniques. The studies herein were undertaken to assess these biomechanical concepts in ‘health and well-being’ footwear, particularly in FitFlopTM footwear. The studies are experimental studies with repeated measures designs. A total of 128 individual participants volunteered, 28 of which were included in two publications. Variables were quantified using an in-shoe plantar pressure measurement system (with a bespoke insole), electromyography, 3D motion capture, force plates, accelerometers, a modified questionnaire and a custom-made mechanical drop-test device. The research identified that ‘health and well-being’ footwear can be manipulated to increase shock absorption, namely reducing the heel-strike transient magnitude (-19%) compared with a flip-flop. ‘Health and well-being’ footwear does induce instability at specific phases of the gait cycle, which is specific to the outsole shape of the footwear. For example the MBT shoe increased muscle activity relating to controlling sagittal plane motion. The biomechanics of gait are also altered compared to standard footwear styles, such as reducing the frontal plane motion of the foot in stance (-19%) and the magnitude (-86%) and duration (-98%) of gripping with the Hallux in swing compared with a flip-flop. The tested ‘health and well-being’ footwear was subjectively rated equally as comfortable as a control shoe with increased regional pressures in the midfoot (≈25%) and decreased peak pressures in the heel (-22%). Therefore ‘health and well-being’ footwear may influence the biomechanics of wearers however further exploration of meaningful differences and individual population differences is required. The studies emphasise the importance and relevance of testing walking, as well as running, footwear to the wider footwear biomechanics field and demonstrate how this may be integrated into research and development processes within a footwear company.

The design of Expressive Footwear centered on creating as dense a sensing module as possible. Originally, the motivation came from creating a dance performance in which the dancer is participating directly in the creation of music in the dance performance. In order to accomplish this, a wide variety of sensors and sensing techniques are used to quantify physical parameters of the foot. Once the sensing is accomplished, the resultant data is transformed to music in real time. Recent work has also included using Expressive Footwear in gesture recognition. The development of this system and each of its parts is elaborated upon in this thesis.

Abstract:
A need to reduce the number of design iterations, coupled with a requirement to reduce the weight of the new generation of TPU running shoes has lead to the use of finite element analysis (FE) within the athletic shoe industry. The collaborators in this research, adidas, were already using the technology, but only on individual parts, and on a reverse engineered basis. This thesis presents a thorough review into the materials used in athletic footwear, their application within running shoes and the methods of testing non-linear, highly deformable polymers and polymer foams. The fundamentals of the FE process are examined, along with a discussion of the current testing methods for shoes. The novelty in this work comes mainly from the comprehensive, logical progression through the modelling process as applied to this new area. Sample materials were tested, revealing new test methods. These were then analysed and converted for use in ABAQUS v6.5 which was the FE software used. The modelling of the sample materials, their tests, then shoe parts and midsole assemblies are discussed at length. At each stage the required complexities were added to the model, and these are detailed. This includes the import, conversion and repair of highly complex geometry, meshing techniques for this geometry, methods of building models of shoe assemblies and all relevant issues that arose from these processes. In addition, a shoe with an internal mechanism was modelled to assist in the design process. The effect of damage to shoe materials was also studied. Physical tests were carried out to verify all the FE models, and the results are presented. In addition, shoes taken from the end of the production line with the uppers attached were tested in order to compare the change in performance between the component parts and a finished product. The results of the modelling showed that was possible to construct and run full shoe assembliesw ithin a reasonablet ime. Fair prediction of the physical responseo f the assemblies was seen using material data taken directly from the sample data, but a method of correcting the initial error in the material test is presented which gives very good force/deflection results in TPU parts. A method of adjusting the entire assembly's material models is then presented, which improves the initial verification. In addition to force/deflection readings, digital image processing was used to monitor the structural response of the shoe during loading, and a set of structural metrics is put forward. The results of these indicated that while the shoe models were representing the cushioning response well, the shape of the shoe was not replicated, suggesting that the model in its present state would be unsuitable for use in some forms of test. Suggestions for improvement are made. Comparison of the structural metrics between shoe assemblies and production shoes suggests the possibility of a quantifiable metric for what would be considered a 'good' shoe. The repercussions of this are discussed in the conclusions.

Abstract:
The aim of the research reported in this thesis was to improve the understanding of footwear and soft ground interaction and, in particular, its mathematical modelling. The work was undertaken for the Military Footwear Section of the MOD's Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency (DCTA) who funded the research in conjunction with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSERC). Although research has been carried out on the interaction of footwear on firm surfaces, minimal work has previously been carried out on softer surfaces often encountered in combat situations and little effort has been applied to its mathematical modelling. The research programme included the development of mathematical models using soil mechanics theory, and experimental work using a soft-ground slip-rig. The prototype soft-ground footwear slip-rig that has been developed is a manually operated device based on simple mechanical mechanisms using weights and pulleys. The rig enables the measurement of traction and sinkage for different soil types, sole materials and tread geometry, at various angles of heel contact and applied vertical load. All experimental work has been carried out with the use of scaled up cleats to obtain measurable results. An investigation into three dimensional end effects has determined at what cleat length the problem becomes two dimensional. The experimental results have shown the effects of cleat geometry on total cleat traction for sand, and in particular the geometric characteristics that promote and reduce traction. These results have been analysed using Taguchi's Analysis of Variance technique. Traction distribution experiments have determined the proportion of traction obtained from different cleat areas. Soil mechanics theory, and in particular Coulomb's retaining wall theory, has been applied in the theoretical modelling of footwear and soft ground interaction. A two dimensional total traction model has been developed using MATLAB software and experimental and theoretical results have been compared. The traction versus cleat geometry trends for both the experimental and theoretical results were in good agreement.

Abstract:
A third of over 65s have at least one fall per year whilst a quarter of over 45s endure foot pain. Footwear is associated with both fall risk and foot pain hence its investigation is of great importance. This thesis explores the potential benefits of minimalist footwear for the older adult population. Chapter 2 ascertained the kinematic and kinetic differences between walking barefoot versus in footwear whilst highlighting the limited research on minimalist footwear, older adults and muscle activity differences. Accordingly, Chapter 3 outlined that minimalist footwear is kinematically more similar to barefoot, irrespective of age, thus offering a viable alternative. Similarly, Chapter 4 showed walking in minimalist footwear and walking unshod exhibit similar lower leg muscle activation patterns whilst differences exist to conventional footwear. Chapter 6 demonstrated how increasing intrinsic foot strength improved functional and static balance whilst Chapter 7 showed promise for minimalist footwear improving foot strength, functional balance, balance confidence as well as reducing foot and joint pain in a sample of older adults. In conclusion, this thesis highlights the need for future work to continue to investigate minimalist footwear in both older adults and other age groups for benefits to stability, foot health and joint pain.

Sampson, Ellen. "Worn : footwear, attachment and affective experience." Thesis, Royal College of Art, 2016. http://researchonline.rca.ac.uk/1811/.

Abstract:
This research by practice explores our relationship with and attachment to shoes. Focusing upon the shoe as an everyday object, and on the embodied experience of wearing, it examines how through touch and use we become entangled with the things we wear. Drawing on anthropological and psychoanalytic perspectives on attachment, affect and the self, it asks: How can the act of wearing create attachment between the wearer and the worn? What is our relationship with the used and empty shoe – the shoe without the body, the shoe no longer worn? It suggests that our particular relationship to footwear is located in our intimate and tactile relationship to it; that touch and duration of wear create attachment. This research suggests that through use and wear shoes become, not only a record of the wearer’s lived experience, but also an extended part of them - a distributed aspect of the self. That the affective power of the worn shoe is a result of this intermingling, the cleaving of garment and self. Despite a growing body of research on footwear, the worn and the used shoe is absent from much of fashion research. The shoe tends to be interpreted as a symbolic, metaphorical, or imaginary artefact; its material qualities and the embodied experience of wearing the shoe are seldom referred to. This research seeks to place the artefact, the shoe, at its centre. Through an iterative process of making, wear, and observation, it aims to make apparent the intimacies of our relationship with shoes. Rather than record the narratives which we apply to footwear, it seeks to highlight the material traces of these relationships: to present the ways they are embodied within the artefacts themselves. This research is research through practice, into the nature of our relationships with shoes, through making artefacts and images (installation, film and photographs). It is material culture research enacted through the production of artefacts. It situates itself as art practice; the shoes produced are not footwear in a conventional sense but instead are objects designed to amplify and make explicit their role as records of gesture and experience. These empty shoes are records of an absent performance, of gestures which are lost to the viewer, so that only their traces, the marks upon the shoe, remain.

Abstract:
Use of appropriate footwear among diabetics and those with diabetic foot problems has been well documented to play a vital role in the prevention and treatment of established foot disease. The incidence and prevalence rates of diabetes in Africa are increasing and foot complications are rising parallel. Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation which also has the highest number of people (up to 3 million) suffering with diabetes in the continent. This is related to the lifestyle of the people which is changing including diet. Many urbanites are embracing Western way of living. There is however lack of adequate knowledge about the role of footwear in the management of foot related problems among diabetic patients in the country. This study is the first of its kind to be done in Nigeria with an aim to develop a framework that would help to identify appropriate footwear materials and designs for people suffering with diabetes. To achieve this, data were collected through questionnaire and interview surveys, shoe upper materials analysis and foot measurements. In addition, Product Design Specification (PDS) and design framework were formulated. And functional footwear prototypes were designed, constructed and assessed. The data from the questionnaire survey indicate that up to 75% of the diabetic subjects have not received information about the type of footwear they should wear most often. The study revealed that the patients have very poor knowledge about diabetes and its complications, foot care, and the use of appropriate footwear. It was discovered that up to 53% female and 37% male of the patients were wearing slippers most often. Similarly, the findings from the medical doctors interviewed show that up to 66% of the patients were wearing slippers or slip-on (with no fastening mechanism) most often. The research revealed that financial constraint was a key factor to use of appropriate footwear by the patients. Many use cheap footwear regardless whether they provide the required protection and comfort to their feet or not. It was found out that specialist knowledge among medical doctors regarding foot care and provision of special footwear like orthopaedic and diabetic footwear to patients was very low. The shoe upper materials analyses demonstrated that leather has good physical properties required for making diabetic footwear. Data from the measurement of feet indicated that no individual’s feet are exactly the same even as people wearing the same shoe size might not have the same foot dimensions. It was concluded that these differences could have considerable effects on the shoe wearer. From the measured values, the tolerable allowance was found to be 3.4mm and 3.5mm for male and female subjects respectively. The fitting and comfort assessment of the prototypes have shown that some parts of the last used to make the prototypes would require amendments in order to accommodate minor foot deformities properly. The findings from the research were used to develop PDS and a research framework which could be used as a guide for diabetic footwear design and construction. Finally, the contributions of this research to knowledge and critical areas that would require further investigations were outlined.

The entire work presents how Finite Element Analysis (FEA) could be used in footwear engineering education as a sustainable tool to predict the designed product's behaviour before its manufacturing. Simulating the human walking movement helps to understand how certain combinations of materials or design parameters and decisions influence the final product. While the first part of the study is based on the description of pre-processing stages such as choosing equipment and materials, modelling and editing the geometry, the current paper describes the simulation and post-processing stages: setting the analysis requirements including connecting and loading conditions of the model, solving the model and analysing the results. The procedure is described based on three models of the same constructive type, namely Derby shoe. The position of the bar stitch varies in a vertical direction. The Static Structural analysis module of the ANSYS software application is used to simulate the behaviour of models and material structures. Each model's behaviour is analysed for three phases of the gait: heel strike, stance, and push off. Two parameters are evaluated and compared: total deformation and equivalent Von Mises stress, that allow estimating the strength of the seam, stress distribution, and deformation of the structure. The analysis shows changes in each phase of the gait under the influence of body weight. The methodology presented in this paper allows performing simple simulations without deepening on advanced mathematics, numerical methods, and computational implementation.

Abstract:
It has been shown that several gait parameters are predictive for fall risk in older persons. There is evidence that footwear can influence foot position and gait patterns, especially in older persons. We carried out experiments to study the effects of type of footwear on gait patterns in persons aged 60+. We found an association between the type of footwear and certain gait parameters that are predictive for falls. In conclusion footwear can increase fall risk. Footwear for older people should be designed in such a way that risk of falls is minimized.

Abstract:
One important step towards sustainability in footwear industries is to measure and tune the environmental impact a product makes throughout its life cycle. By performing a product’s life cycle assessment (LCA), the footwear value chain can produce footwear more responsibly, economically and in an eco-friendly way by addressing the three pillars of sustainability. LIFEGreenShoes4All teams are conducting LCA studies in representative footwear models ranging from fashion to safety footwear, with uppers in leather or textiles; midsoles in polyurethane foam (PU) or ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA); soles in vulcanized rubber, thermoplastic rubber (TR), EVA and others. These studies make possible to identify and quantify the most relevant life cycle stages, contributing to the most relevant impact categories (e. g, climate change, resource use), helping companies on the definition of how their footwear environmental performance may be improved. Considering the results, the higher contributors are materials and components, followed by waste from manufacturing and end-of-life. The creative design phase plays a significant role in footwear life cycle sustainability impact. The implementation of eco-design on the product conception is crucial to reduce the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF). LIFEGreenShoes4All is being developed by 9 partners AMF, APICCAPS, ATLANTA, CEC, CTCP, EVATHINK, ICPI, INESCOP, FICE and PESTOS (https://www.greenshoes4all.eu/).

Abstract:
This paper approaches the main aspects of blended learning applied through the piloting sessions of INGA 3D project, Creative Transfer of Competence in 3D Footwear CAD to VET Professionals. The INGA 3D project is running within the framework of the Lifelong Learning Program - Transfer of Innovation. The aim of the project is to transfer innovative software solutions and 3D footwear CAD technologies, respectively Icad3d+ software, produced by Spain. The project is addressed to VET teachers, trainers, tutors who work with highly specialized footwear CAD technologies. The project partners are universities, research & training centres, and IT companies: 'Gheorghe Asachi' Technical University of Iasi (Romania), INESCOP (Spain), IED-European Institute of Design (Spain), University of Salford (United Kingdom), Virtual Campus (Portugal), RED 21(Spain). The e-learning tools developed include web-based and educational media like videos, assessment tasks and demonstrative resources with learning purposes that emphasize and enrich the lessons' content. The lessons are designed as tutorials which cover the 3D modelling steps and the necessary Icad3d+ tools for completing basic footwear models by: processing the lasts, designing the 3D model lines, transferring and controlling 3D lines with 2D drawings, creating pieces, adding texture, stitches and accessories, modelling the 3D shape of sole and heel, rendering. The piloting of two modules of INGA 3D program has been helpful in relation to further development of the e-learning resources. Overall, the participants achieved a lot in a little time. The evaluation was based on the answers and feedback of a questionnaire applied to 35 Romanian participants to the course. Apart from the necessary information for improvements of the training contents and e-learning tools, all piloting sessions bring positive comments.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To compile evidence and determine the utility of various methods used to sanitize footwear and textiles, and the use of novel antimicrobial materials for eradication of pathogens known to cause superficial fungal infections of the foot. Rationale: Fungal infections of the feet such as onychomycosis are common, affecting approximately 6% of the global population. There are a number of available treatment methods for onychomycosis, with topical (e.g., efinaconazole, tavaborole, ciclopirox), oral (e.g., terbinafine, itraconazole, fluconazole), or a combination of both, being the most popular. Sanitization of shoes, socks/stockings, and other textiles (as well as the feet themselves through proper hygiene) is integral to the reduction, spread, and recurrence of superficial fungal infection. The goal of the present review is to examine the currently available methods of sanitization for footwear and textiles against superficial fungal infections, and assessing which are effective or not.
