Development of a methodology for calculating the force interaction of the foot and shoes for podium models

Abstract

The study of the influence of high-heeled shoes on human health remains relevant in modern realities, when the fashion for such models is not so pronounced. The special attractiveness of high-heeled shoes is known, which makes it an indispensable attribute of modeling projects and events. In connection with this fact, for catwalk models, this type can be attributed to work shoes. However, despite the presence of endurance and the ability to walk in high heels for a long time, the negative impact of this can lead to consequences of varying degrees of severity for the health of catwalk models. The interaction of the foot with the support-contact insole and the subsequent details of the bottom, in the process of walking, is constantly changing. To conduct the study, it is advisable to single out fixed phases that characterize the power processes quite fully, which include front and rear shocks, the phase of full support on one foot. The latter, with the non-contact transfer of the other foot turned off, is studied in the work as the main study. In the presented work, the task is to optimize the parameters of the force impact of the foot of the shoe, to bring them into an acceptable range, using constructive solutions and modern materials. At the same time, create conditions for shock absorption of walking, allowable extension of the longitudinal and transverse arches, and exclude sliding of the entire foot on the insole. The task is set — while maintaining the height of the heel, to reduce the resulting negative consequences to the minimum possible level. A three-element model of the foot and shoes is proposed, a mathematical relationship between the elements is established, evaluation criteria and ways to achieve them are indicated. Modern means of measurement are used: software, electronic scanning and computer diagnostics.
