“…Poorly fitted shoes, either too tight or too loose, can influence the comfort of the foot. In other words, a snug shoe could result in tissue compression while a larger one could cause slippage or friction (6). Wearing tight, narrow dress shoes with a constrictive toe box (toe area) might lead to the formation of a hallux valgus as a common foot deformity (7).…”

Background: Foot anthropometry will enhance the fit and comfort of shoes. There are limited published data on the foot anthropometry of Iranians. Therefore, this study aimed to collect foot anthropometric data in northwest Iran to compare dimensions between the two genders and also with the corresponding data from other populations. Methods: A total of 21 dimensions of the right foot were measured in 290 males and 290 females using a digital caliper and a tape. Digital patterning and different percentile values were calculated. Independent t-test was applied to test the effect of gender on foot dimensions. Cohen's d was computed to express the magnitude of dimensional differences between the participants of the current study and others. Results: The absolute foot dimensions of males were significantly larger than those of females. After normalization to the foot length, however, some foot dimensions of females were found to be larger. The relative proportion of digital patterning of I and II were 78% and 22% respectively. Digital patterning and the main dimensions such as foot length and width were different among the participants of the current study and those of other populations, especially the East Asian communities. Conclusions: The data of this study could be utilized by local footwear designers. In accordance with the relative foot dimensions, the female foot was not a scale-down of the male foot. Therefore, women's data should be used in designing their footwear. Compared with other populations, the participants of this study had individual foot morphology, which should be considered in the design and import of footwear.

“…Perancangan alas kaki telah dikembangkan sejak lama dan dalam beberapa penelitian tentang alas kaki selalu fokusnya pada ergonomi dan fisiologi [3]. Sedangkan pada umumnya para pembuat alas kaki, terutama di kelompok Usaha Kecil Menengah (IKM), hal yang berkaitan dengan bentuk anatomi kaki dan dimensi sering kali dikesampingkan.…”

“…Mereka lebih mengutamakan aspek bentuk dan fashion saja, tanpa banyak memperhitungkan faktor kenyamanan yang didipengaruhi oleh bentuk dan dimensinya. Sebagai contoh perancangan alas kaki yang berhak tinggi (high heel), secara umum masih mengutamakan aspek fashion/tampilan dan mengesampingkan pertimbangan ergonomi yang dapat menjadi penyebab permasalahan pada kaki [3]. Variasi yang signifikan ada di antara populasi yang berbeda ketika mempertimbangkan faktor-faktor ini.…”

ABSTRAKPada produk sepatu, kenyaman pakai merupakan faktor penting yang harus diperhatikan. Oleh karena itu sepatu yang baik akan memperhatikan kualitas bentuk dan ukuran shoe last pada saat pembuatannya. Ketidaksesuaian bentuk dan ukuran sepatu yang pakai pada kaki akan beresiko menyebabkan cedera secara temporer, bahkan untuk penggunaan dalam waktu lama dapat menimbulkan kecacatan pada kaki. Namun di industri kecil/menengah (IKM) alas kaki penentuan bentuk dan ukuran produk shoe last umumnya tidak melalui prosedur verifikasi yang baku. Penggunaan teknologi pemodelan digital pada pembuatan shoe last akan dapat membantu meningkatkan kualitas bentuk dan ukuran yang dihasilkannya. Melalui metode eksperimentasi digital yang didukung dengan data antropometri anatomi kaki responden lokal diharapkan akan menghasilkan sebuah metode baku perancangan shoe last tersebut. Metode perancangan digital untuk produk shoe last ini diharapkan akan bermanfaat bagi para pelaku usaha kecil alas kaki agar kualitas kenyamanan sepatu yang dibuatnya menjadi lebih baik dan berstandar.Kata kunci: Pemodelan digital, shoe last, IKM, kualitas kenyamanan ABSTRACTIn shoe products, wear comfort is an important factor that must be considered. Therefore, good shoes will pay attention to the quality of the shape and size of the last shoe at the time of manufacture. The improper shape and size of the shoes that are used on the feet will risk causing temporary injury, even for prolonged use, it can cause disability in the feet. However, in the small / medium-sized footwear industry (IKM), determining the shape and size of shoe last products generally does not go through a standard verification procedure. The use of digital modeling technology in making shoe lasts will help improve the quality of the shape and size it produces. Through the digital experimentation method that is supported by anthropometric data on the anatomy of the local respondents' feet, it is hoped that it will produce a standard method of designing the shoe last. It is hoped that this digital design method for shoe last products will be useful for small footwear entrepreneurs so that the quality of the comfort of the shoes they make becomes better and standard.Keywords: Digital modeling, shoe last, SMEs, comfort quality

“….) and the shoe type, there is some evidence that the range of motion, joint movement, and the muscle or muscle pump activity are affected [30][31][32]34,[80][81][82][83][84] by sandals [55,83,85,86] vs conventional shoes [86][87][88] and by high-heeled shoes [73,89] vs barefoot [34,72,75,90]. Several studies have shown an increase in the activity of soleus, peroneus longus [84] or tibialis anterior during exercise with sandals and flip-flops [83,84,91].…”

The effects of shoe type on lower limb venous status during gait or exercise: A systematic review

et al. 2020

This systematic review evaluated the literature pertaining to the effect of shoes on lower limb venous status in asymptomatic populations during gait or exercise. The review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The PubMed-NCBI, EBSCO Host, Cochrane Library and Science Direct databases were searched (March 2019) for words around two concepts: shoes and venous parameters. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) the manuscript had to be published in an English-language peer-reviewed journal and the study had to be observational or experimental and (2) the study had to suggest the analysis of many types of shoes or orthotics on venous parameters before, during and/or after exercise. Out of 366 articles, 60 duplications were identified, 306 articles were analyzed, and 13 articles met the eligibility criteria after screening and were included. This review including approximately 211 participants. The methodological rigor of these studies was evaluated with the modified Downs and Black quality index. Nine studies investigated the effect of shoes on blood flow parameters, two on venous pressure and two on lower limb circumferences with exercise. Evidence was found that unstable shoes or shoes with similar technology, sandals, athletic or soft shoes, and customized foot orthotics elicited more improvement in venous variables than high-heeled shoes, firm shoes, ankle joint immobilization and barefoot condition. These venous changes are probably related to the efficiency of muscle pumps in the lower limbs, which in turn seem to be dependent on shoe features associated with changes in the kinetics, kinematics and muscle activity variables in lower limbs during gait and exercise.
