Next Generation of Virtual Shoe Design Impossible for boots
Pictures from: Dr. Monika Richter, 15.11.2013
Next Generation of Virtual Shoe Design Current CAD process uses only 2D construction for boots
Disadvantages: • No real lookout of design – flat • Difficult with bigger or smaller leg girths
• To see the real lookout – production of boots are necessary • needs time • higher costs

There was a leck of current information concerning foot and leg dimensions. The German shoe producers had only very old and incomplete data to there disposal. Changes, basing on acceleration, have not to take into account. Dr. Monika Richter, 15.11.2013
Next Generation of Virtual Shoe Design New situation 3D data of more than 5.000 adults in Germany available Allows a summary of leg groups Offers a high level of treatment with fitting high boots Allows the exact description of legs of women and men
