Development of size range of shoes for young men of Zhambyl region

Abstract

The work has developed a size and full range of shoes for young men in the Zhambyl region. The measurement data of the feet of teenagers in the Zhambyl region were used to calculate the size range of shoes. The calculation of the structure of the size range of footwear for teenagers was based on the assumption that the normal distribution law accurately described the random variability of foot lengths. The results of calculations of a rational size range of shoes are described in detail and given in the tables. The structure of the size assortment of shoes was determined based on anthropometric studies of the shape and size of the feet of the teenagers and the results of the analysis of the distribution of the length of the feet. In this way, the average shoe size is 275 mm for young men in the Zhambyl region. It was revealed that 14 % of the young men required shoes in size 260, and the remaining 5 % of the young men had a foot size of 290mm. The measurements obtained in the study will make it possible to design shoes corresponding to the feet of teenagers for various purposes. The result of this study will be to provide teenagers in Kazakhstan with comfortable and fit shoes that correspond to non-standard feet, while preventing the appearance of various pathologies, thereby preserving the health of the younger generation.
