Based Comfort Jogging Shoe Design Practice And Research

Along with the pursue of high quality of life and the rise and grow of the nature sports ideology, jogging has being a new life style. Jogging shoes are the main gear of the jogging sport, and the comfort of the shoes become more and more concerned. This thesis uses the theories of Ergonomics, investigate the basic structure ofour feet, observe our feet’s regular motion pattern, explore the pressure of foot and identify the possibly injured part, analyze and compare the experimental data to prove the importance of the comport element during the athletic shoes’ design. And then the Thesis continues to investigate the method of shoes conform evaluation standard, testing methods, and their impact on the design of jogging shoes. Eventually, the research also studies the history of athletic shoes technology advancement and the current R&D in the design of athletic shoes, and point out that running sports leads the shoe technology, and propose the design idea and innovation concept for jogging shoes design with barefoot philosophy. Combined mechanics of materials of athletic shoes and its tread groove, the comfort and performance of jogging shoes will be improved again.
