- Calculating the correct dimensions of the foot is critical in footwear design to maximise the comfort of a shoe whilst limiting associated foot deformity. This novel work was supported by Delcam PLC (Chris Lawrie, cl@delcam.com) who provide manufacturing solutions for the footwear industry. Translating these measurements into last construction used in footwear manufacturing (worth US$ 365.5 billion), is essential to ensure they are fit for purpose. This cross-disciplinary work branching into fashion, design and health has had a significant impact on informing design and materials for footwear manufacture, clinical guidelines, and standards.
