Podiatry Arena members do not see these ads
Is anyone aware of a classification for footwear, (non orthopaedic) for the purposes of research?

I can't go into too much detail about the research project but the kind of classification I am looking for would be in relation to e.g. toe box shape, heel height, fastening, rigidity of upper/sole, that kind of thing. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

The old shoe fitters handbook had a classification system that included boot, oxford, pump, mule, sandal, moccasin and one other that I can't recall off the top of my head. Things like toe box shape are hard to categorize as there are many shades of gray. You will probably have to come up with your own classification system.

Eric
