Data-Driven Footwear Design (Part 2):

Advancing Running Shoe Development with Plantar Pressure Mapping

Sport footwear design is a complex process and a cornerstone of innovation in the athletic performance industry. A running shoe's architectural and mechanical characteristics play a decisive role in overall performance, especially in disciplines where locomotion efficiency is critical. Medium- and long-distance running, among the world's most practiced sports, are also disciplines where improper footwear choices often contribute to lower-extremity injuries.

This webinar focuses on how integrating plantar pressure mapping technology with sensorized insoles enhances the design and evaluation of running shoes. By providing unmatched insight into the interactions between the foot, the shoe, and the ground, this data-driven approach allows designers and engineers to objectively assess key biomechanical factors—such as pressure distribution, force transfer, center of pressure, and timing variables—ensuring each prototype supports optimal performance and injury prevention.

With this technology, footwear teams can rapidly assess design iterations, shorten quality control cycles, and confidently validate results. Join us to discover how plantar pressure mapping can help you design running shoes that are faster, more comfortable, and truly built to perform.
