Abstract :
In this study, two psychophysical models are proposed to predict perceived footwear fit with consideration of foot-shoe dimensional differences in the toe, metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) and mid-foot regions. A third-degree polynomial was constructed to predict the preference rating on a 7-point Likert scale from perceived footwear fit (5-point scale).
