“…Currently, the footwear design process is based on advanced computer applications. They enable precise construction of three-dimensional models of shoes as well as conducting virtual researches on footwear functional properties such as mechanics [2][3][4], thermal comfort [5][6][7][8][9][10], and sensory comfort [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Covill et al [5] developed two-dimensional and three-dimensional thermal models of in-shoe climate were using finite element analysis.…”

The paper concerned the issue of ergonomics and thermal comfort of footwear. The presented work was an attempt to apply selected modeling CAD software and the finite volume method for analysis of heat transfer through footwear between the shoes' user and his surroundings. Based on the actual two selected sport shoes, three-dimensional models have been designed, taking into account their different geometry and raw material composition. The models used simplifications related to the internal construction (in microscale) of the specific parts of the footwear (sole, insole, shank, lining and tongue). The main purpose of the work was to determine the influence of the simplifications used on the accuracy of simulation as a tool to predict thermal insulation of real shoes determined by means of thermal imaging camera. The simulations results were in correlation with the experiment and showed that applied software can be an effective tool in studying the thermophysiological properties of footwear.

This research aims to provide a model for SMEs to address needs and expectations of specific target groupssuch as elderly, obese, disabled, or diabetic persons -to customise functional and fashionable clothes and footwear of high quality, affordable price and eco-compatible. This will be achieved by the development of a new framework for the textile, clothing and footwear industry (TCFI) based on methods and tools for (co-)design, development, configuration, production, and distribution of small order quantities in collaborative networks. The aim of this paper is to describe the reference model depicting its structure and the related tools for collaborative networks enabling products to stay as long as possible digital in order to be produced on-demand.

“…The second modification was conducted on the toe part. Since most of the fashion trends are at the toe design, the additional tolerance on the toe imposed additional errors while comparing the shoe-last model with the foot model using the error mapping method (Luximon and Luximon, 2009). The modification was based on a cubic interpolation.…”

Footwear performance can be broadly evaluated based on its function, appearance, and fit. In many cases, fit can govern functions and is hence an important property. The shoe-last, a solid 3D mould around which a shoe is made, has relatively complex shape without any straight lines and is normally made of high density polyethylene for footwear production. The most important aspect of footwear customisation is to design a customised and better fitting shoe-last. The traditional method to make customise shoe-last form foot measurements is very tedious, foot print and ball girth is used. Due to a move toward mass-customisation, it is essential to realise design automation and manufacture automation in footwear industry. With the proliferation of e-commerce, it is unnecessary and improbable to ask customers to come to the retail store and try the shoes on. Footwear customisation and purchase through the internet would be greatly enhanced if a speedy and precise computerised fit rating method could be presented. This study present a system to help shoe-last designer to select the best fit shoe last based on a given foot shape. Some novel algorithms and functions were proposed to improve the accuracy of fit rating based on 3D error mapping.
