“…The previous study of our laboratory (Satsumoto et al, 2000(Satsumoto et al, , 2003 [ [1][2][3] demonstrated that the narrower the space between foot and shoe, the higher velocity of exchanged air. The velocity in microclimate was calculated by the theoretical analysis as shown in equation 1.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of shoe fit and moisture permeability of a leather shoe on shoe microclimate and air exchange Three kinds of leather shoe with different fit were compared, whose ball girth were tight fitted: 1E, medium fitted: 2E, loose fitted: 3E. It was also examined the effect of water vapor permeability of a leather shoe which would affect water vapor transfer in a shoe. We compared the artificial leather with the natural leather. Subject trials were carried out with above shoes in a climatic chamber under the condition of 30℃, 65％RH. The shoe microclimate of the foot and the velocity over the opening the shoe were measured. The subject walked on a tread-mill for 20 minutes after 10 minutes' rest and repeated twice. The experimental results showed that the absolute humidity in a shoe microclimate of the natural leather was lower than one of artificial leather at all part of a foot. It indicated that the water vapor transfer of the natural leather was larger than the artificial leather. The smaller the ball girth of shoe was, the larger the magnitudes of velocity near the opening, especially at the arch of the foot. The decrease of absolute humidity during walking in the arch was larger for tight fitted 1E than for the medium fitted 2E. It seemed the bellows action during walking. This fit effect was supported by our earlier study of the bellows action [1-3].

“…They found that the ventilation was affected not only by the air permeability (one of the material factors of clothing) but also by design features like openings and the air gap size between skin and clothing. Satsumoto et al (2000Satsumoto et al ( , 2003Satsumoto et al ( , 2005 investigated the bellows action mechanism on heat transfer by using a simple model to simulate bellows action. They found that the narrower the air gap between skin and clothing, the larger the ventilation that occurs near openings because of bellows action.…”
