  • the disclosure is directed generally to assisting consumers to make informed decisions in the footwear industry, an industry with a large number of manufacturers and retailers that is difficult for consumers to navigate. While attempts have been made to improve the filtering of technical information available to customers in the retail environment, including onsite podiatric assessments using specialist equipment, these attempts have been unsuccessful in that they add to the cost for both retailers and consumers. In addition to this, specialist equipment is expensive, making it unaffordable to many shoe stores. Recently, access to high speed internet has increased the availability of online stores to consumers. Footwear has become one of the most popular products purchased online. Despite this, the problem remains the same. Vast amounts of information are available on the internet, making it even more difficult for consumers to find the footwear that is suitable for their feet. If consumers want to make an informed purchase online, they first need to see a podiatrist, or visit a retail store with access to specialist equipment before making the online purchase.

  • a characteristic of footwear is the capacity to support the foot, offer load attenuation by cushioning the body from ground forces and guide the foot and by association the entire musculoskeletal system of the body during locomotion activities. Therefore the integrity of the material which comprises footwear is critical to footwear longevity.
  • Footwear can be divided into three main components (outsole, midsole and upper). Numerous factors govern footwear longevity including but not limited to body weight, foot type and function. For example, the shoe of a person weighing in excess of 100kg will not last as long as a person weighing 70kg. This is because load forces and body weight will result in material deformation. A person who weighs 70kg walking in the shoe will have a load forces approximately 1.5 times body weight per step. A person weighing the same, but whom primarily uses a shoe for running, will be subjected to load forces in excess of 2.5 times body weight. Therefore, the footwear will have quicker material deformation when used for running.
  • a person who has a flat foot and hyper-pronates when walking or running generally requires a firmer more stable shoe material than a person who has a high arch-rigid foot which is generally a poor absorber. Therefore, if a person with a flat-hyperpronated foot used a shoe intended for a high arch shoe (lighter in weight due to the material design), the shoe will deform at a faster rate than otherwise desired.
  • the method 70 for generating footwear wear information includes the step of providing footwear use data 71, in the form of a person's weight and a shoe's travel distance.
  • the method further includes the step of establishing the expected deterioration of a shoe 73. This may be perforaied by using the information associated with a person's weight and the distance a shoe has travelled, and associating it with footwear longevity data held in a database. Once the information regarding the deterioration of a shoe has been established, it is produced as an output 75.
  • the footwear use data may be split into at least two portions.
  • the first portion of the footwear use data is provided using a GPS tracking device.
  • the GPS tracking device measures the distance a shoe has travelled and may be located within, or remotely of, the shoe.
  • the GPS tracking device may be integrated into the sole of a shoe, in the form of a chip.
  • the GPS tracking device may be a smart phone.
  • the second portion of the footwear use data is provided through an input into a software application.
  • the input is in the form of a data entrance which details a person's weight.
  • the software application is stored in the memory, and run on the processor, of a smart phone. In another embodiment, the software application could be alternatively processed by a computer.
  • the second portion of data is described as being a person's weight, in other embodiments this may include other data, for example a person's height, stride length, gender, foot structure, and the type of shoe use, such as running, walking, football, soccer, business etc.
  • the footwear longevity data is held on a database.
  • the database may be placed on a mobile device, for example in the memory of a smart phone or tablet, or alternatively on another device, for example in the memory of an external server. If the database is held on an external device, it is accessible via radio waves and over the internet by a smart phone.
  • the database is in the form of lookup tables.
  • the footwear longevity data includes information relating to the integrity and longevity of shoes. As previously described, each shoe will have a different longevity data, in the form of the distance over which a shoe my travel before significant deterioration occurs, for different people and activities. All of this data is stored in the database for a range of shoes.
  • the apparatus 80 comprises a memory 81 for storing a software application 83 for generating footwear wear data, a processor 85 for analysing footwear use data, and establishing footwear wear data by using footwear longevity data held in a database 81 or 89, and an output means 83 for outputting the footwear wear information.
  • the software application 83 in the forai of an app, not only provides features enabling foot structure characteristics (as previously described with reference to the method for generating foot characteristic information and methods for selecting footwear information suitable for a foot) but also provides a guide to shoe longevity based on body weight and wear (measured in distance).
  • the apparatus includes a GPS tracking device, which logs distance accumulation, and provides general advice on shoe longevity through an output means, such as the display of a smart phone. As such, the apparatus monitors shoe wear distance for a shoe model selected 93 by a person.
  • the GPS tracker which may form part of a shoe or a smart phone, tracks each running-walking event and thus measures the distance particular to the shoe selected 93, and provides information when the shoe has expired based upon body weight and distance travelled.

  • the GPS tracker also located on the smart phone, may be started by toggling a 'tap to start running' 95 button on the screen of the smart phone.
  • This screen may also include the location into which a person can enter inputs such as shoe type and 93 and body weight 91. The person then takes the mobile phone with them so that the GPS tracker can measure the distance the shoes travel.
  • the GPS tracker is stopped by toggling the 'tap to stop running' 97 button on the screen of the smart phone.
  • the chip either stores the information, which is then uploaded into the memory of the apparatus, or communicates remotely via radio waves or the internet with the apparatus.
  • the thresholds for footwear longevity data are determined based upon information within the literature, manufacturer guidelines and clinical experience accumulated over 25 years by specialist podiatrists.
  • a person can manually enter their body weight and set weekly distance (run or walked) which will then calculate the longevity of the shoe model the person has selected within the app.

This feature has the benefits of assisting with both shoe comfort and health implications to guard against or miminise injury and improve the overall experience of wearing footwear.
