Children’s feet change shape significantly as they grow. Small children’s feet are proportionally wider and higher compared to teenagers' feet.
This animation visualizes the average 3D foot shape across all children’s sizes, based on 10,000 foot scans per size.

The color coding represents how well shoes would fit if lasts were uniformly scaled from a single sample size:
🟢 Green = perfect fit
🔵 Blue = loose fit
🔴 Red = tight fit
Does your shoe last grading account for the natural changes in children’s foot shape?

His talk, "Running Shoe Research Methods, Errors, and New Paradigms," shed light on crucial aspects of #footwearbiomechanics
During the Q&A, Prof. Nigg emphasized the need for advancements in footwear fit research—a sentiment aligned with my own work here at @Volumental

For him, our research findings confirm why brands must make multiple widths in all core styles… a single shoe width cannot accommodate the diverse foot shapes of individuals with the same shoe size.

Fit tests are a very important step of the footwear development process. It’s extremely important that footwear brands work with fit testers who represent shoppers of their target markets, so that newly developed shoes will fit the majority of their customers.

The heel width of the first fit tester is at the 10th percentile (a very narrow heel) and the heel width of the second fit tester is above the 80th percentile (a very wide heel).

Fit specialists working with these two fit testers know that their heel widths are far from the average foot, which helps them understand the fit evaluations of these fit testers, and use their feedback properly to develop great fitting shoes.
