“…By testing prototypes, they demonstrated the endurance of these insoles during walking and standing, validating their effectiveness. Huang et al [82] assessed shoe strength using Finite Element Analysis, particularly examining slip resistance between the outsole and contacting surface. Their study admitted the utility of Finite Element Analysis for such evaluations, highlighting the importance of designing high-slip outsoles to prevent falls while walking.…”

Computer technology influences the capability to enhance the functionality of manufacturing and product design technologies. Innovations in computational design and digital manufacturing empower designers and manufacturers to create novel representations and algorithms for designing, analyzing, and planning the production of highly complicated products achievable through state-of-the-art technology. Various principles, including computational physics, geometric reasoning, and automated spatial planning, enable engineers to generate entirely new categories of products in the footwear industry. This study aims to review the methods and tools that have been published in the literature for the last twenty years, and provide a better understanding of the parameters, tools, and controls that contribute to the design and manufacturing processes of shoes. The main focus is on highlighting the product design-related trends within the footwear industry. A structured framework becomes apparent in the literature through the grouping and presentation of information. This framework facilitates drawing conclusions about the trends and existing needs derived from in-depth research in the field of footwear. Additionally, it reveals the upcoming methods and tools that will contribute to the enhancement and development of this emerging and promising industry sector. In conclusion, the categorization limitation within the footwear industry could serve as the foundation for exploring key areas to be analyzed further in other industries, for instance, in furniture, clothing, and packaging.

“…The midfoot area, located between the forefoot and heel, played a connecting and balancing role and needed to provide a certain level of support and stability (Davis Daniel and Challis John 2023). Secondly, the pattern design of the shoe sole was helpful in increasing the friction between the shoe sole and the ground, thereby providing better slip resistance (Quting et al 2018). Lastly, the shoe sole adopted a layered structure known as "qiancengdai", with each layer made of ramie material.…”

The shoes of the Terracotta Warriors holds significant historical and cultural value as an important legacy of ancient Chinese shoemaking craftsmanship. But there is a dearth of research on terracotta shoes.Therefore, this study aimed to restore the Terracotta Warrior’s shoes from the perspectives of clothing engineering and archaeology, and then to assess the critical function of the restored shoes. Finally, we would explore why the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) were so successful in military.In the restoration process, we utilized AR ranging technology to conduct field investigations in museums, obtaining the basic form of the shoeof the kneeling archer figurine No.05438, and based on this, we studied its techniques and materials. Further, a quantitative analysis of the structural functionality of the Qin Dynasty shoes were carried out.Results show that: (1) The shoe soles of the Terracotta Warriors were adorned with neatly arranged circular patterns; the shoe sole was divided into three sections, with a ratio of 8:13:6 among the three sections. (2) The production technique of the shoe sole was consistent with the Thousand-layer sole (TLS), and the material used was red ramie. (3) We compared the replica shoes with two similar modern shoes and found that the replica shoes not only exhibited excellent flexibility but also demonstrated better slip resistance in wet conditions.Overall, we successfully reconstructed the shoe and evaluated their functionality using advanced archaeological techniques. Our finding unveiled notable advantages in flexibility and slip resistance in the Terracotta Warrior’s shoes, enhancing our understanding of ancient shoes. Additionally, this study also provides valuable practical experience and methodology for archaeology in restoring the ancient shoes.

“…However, the uniform vertical force of 200 N was applied as the only loading condition. The dynamic simulation was conducted to predict the slip resistant performance by calculating the reaction force [11]. However, the models were simplified to an outsole without complex curves.…”

A Biomechanical Investigation of Athletic Footwear Traction Performance: Integration of Gait Analysis with Computational Simulation

Evaluations are vital to quantify the functionalities of athletic footwear, such as the performance of slip resistance, shock absorption, and rebound. Computational technology has progressed to become a promising solution for accelerating product development time and providing customized products in order to keep up with the competitive contemporary footwear market. In this research, the effects of various tread pattern designs on traction performance in a normal gait were analyzed by employing an approach that integrated computational simulation and gait analysis. A state-of-the-art finite element (FE) model of a shoe was developed by digital sculpting technology. A dynamic plantar pressure distribution was automatically applied to interpret individualized subject conditions. The traction performance and real contact area between the shoe and the ground during the gait could be characterized and predicted. The results suggest that the real contact area and the structure of the outsole tread design influence the traction performance of the shoe in dry conditions. This computational process is more efficient than mechanical tests in terms of both cost and time, and it could bring a noticeable benefit to the footwear industry in the early design phases of product development.
