Designing of the shoe upper using modern information and computer technologies

Abstract

The article presents the process of designing the details of shoe upper for schoolchildren using the numerical characteristics of the feet and modern computer technology. A software module for processing the obtained data in the MathCad Education program has been developed, which allows to create parametric models of the foot and longitudinal-vertical section of the internal shape with a deviation of not more than 5%. It is established that developing parametric aspects of shoe upper design is advantageous in the age range from 11 to 13 years. Patterns between different parameters of schoolchildren’s feet are also determined. On the basis of the developed parametric models and the proposed principles of modular transformation the construction of low shoes (half-boots) is designed and made.
