  • Abstract
    This paper presents some theoretical and experimental considerations about shoe heel effect on comfort and bipodal balance. These influences are determined by evaluating the thermal gradient, in parallel with plantar pressure at the surface of human subjects flange wearing high heels (about 10 cm). Also, in the third part of the paper, the correlation of plantar pressures to the shape and structure of the surface thermal plants is analyzed. Experimental research results and conclusions are presented in the final part of the paper.
