Abstract

Shoe insole is one of the main component of shoes which design to protect the human feet from pain and agony that felt while wearing shoes. One whom working in standing position has possibilities to get back pain. The solution of the problem is to get a surgery or to make a custom shoe insoles in order to reduce the pain. Thus, the option given is expensive. In order to counter the problems, a solution is suggested which is to design and develop a shoe insole that have feature of ergonomics and flexible while maintaining the aesthetic value on the design. The shoe insole will be made by reusable and green material in order to cut down the cost. The development of the new design proposal is begin with understanding the type of shoe insole available in the market. Besides, the anthropometry of the feet is studied in order to determine the adequate dimension for the shoe insole. The pressure distribution of the foot is examined with the purpose to determine the poor section that suffer the most pressure. Later, a new design is proposed by using the specification and the information obtain. The new design is equipped with metatarsal pad, heel cover and flexible contour which makes the new design extraordinary. Lastly, the design is then analysed by using FEA and compared to the ergonomic design rule. The result will show that the new design is possible to be made.
