T/LTA 009.1-2024 Shoe Comfort - Part 1: Design Guidelines

Scope

Main technical content: In recent years, research on shoe comfort in the footwear industry has been ongoing, with corresponding studies conducted by scientific research institutes, universities, and enterprises. However, the research results have not been widely promoted through standardized forms or reached broad consensus in the industry, so the views and conclusions have not been directly applied in the industry. Currently, there is only a comfort definition issued by the National Footwear Standardization Technical Committee in 2011, which is considered an industry consensus. The definition of footwear comfort is: a comprehensive evaluation of people's psychological and physiological feelings towards shoes during wearing, referring to the degree to which shoes meet the morphological and functional requirements of human feet. It mainly includes: fit, functionality, and in-shoe environment. Comfort factors: (1) Fit: shoe structure and size, shoe-foot matching, and shoe pressure on the feet; (2) Functionality: stability, shock absorption, softness, anti-slip, and lightweight; (3) In-shoe environment: moisture absorption and ventilation, hygiene, etc. T/LTA 008 simultaneously releases the following parts: — Part 1: Design Guide; — Part 2: Evaluation Guidelines; — Part 3: Casual Shoe Evaluation. After the release of the above standards, it is planned to launch a series of evaluation documents for other footwear sub-fields in a divided form, building a framework from design to processing and production to evaluation. Through product evaluation, we can then improve design, provide better guidance for processing and production, and ultimately enhance product comfort, achieving industrial upgrading.
