RESEARCH AND INCREASE OF COMFORT OF SHOES ON THE INDIVIDUAL ORDER

Abstract

Research  and  solve  the  problems  of  custom-made  shoes,  taking  into  account  the  subjective feeling of consumer comfort.
Methodology. Theoretical and analytical, marketing and experimental research. Findings. On the basis of the comparative analysis of results of anthropometric researches of feet and subjective feelings of comfort of footwear expediency of perfection of process of designing of footwear by the individual order with use of the universal model-transformer of footwear is proved. This paper analyzes modern materials, consumer choice factors influencing the formation of the range of innovations in the production of
footwear by individual order. comfortable parameters based on the sensations of pressure on the customer's foot. The results of researches of individual sensations of pressure on the foot by footwear in a standing and walking condition are given. Originality. Based on a computer system with an Arduino Uno microcontroller and resistive force sensors FSR402,  a  device  for  determining  the  pressure  between  the  foot  and  the  inner  surface  of  the  shoe  has  been developed. The made model-transformer of footwear with use of installation of computer system on the basis of
the Arduino Unо microcontroller gives the chance to measure level of subjective comfortable pressure of footwear on a foot of the customer.
Practical value. Creating a comfortable and convenient shape of the product is one of the main stages of shoe production, the quality and careful implementation of which depends not only on the shape stability and
comfort of shoes during operation, but also the appearance of the product. These studies make it possible to investigate and predict the provision of high quality, comfort and durability of shoes with uppers of modern classic
and  non-typical  (python,  crocodile)  natural  leather  materials  both  in  the  layout  and  in  the  manufacture  and operation of the product, as well as after repair and upgrade or improvement product design. The proposed model-transformer of shoes using a prototype computer system
