  • Solid Foundations Footwear Sales at Specialty Shops Turned Upward Last Year, Leading to Optimism—And Many New Off Erings—In 2019
    OUTLOOK 2019: SHOES Solid Foundations Footwear sales at specialty shops turned upward last year, leading to optimism—and many new off erings—in 2019. By Kent Oswald his past year may not be considered a “great” year for tennis footwear, but it might go down as a “very good” year, according to data from Sports Marketing Surveys. And that may well o er a good foundation for optimism about the 2019 court shoe market. TWhile fi nal fi gures for year-end 2018 weren’t available at press time, through the third quarter, unit sales for specialty shops were up 3 percent (vs. down 6, 5 and 2 percent in years 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively). If trends hold, dollar sales will rise 9 percent, year over year, to an estimated total of $95 million, helped by an average price rise to $100.28 a pair (through the fi rst three quarters), compared to average pric- ing of $95.60 in 2017, $92.17 in 2016 and $90.05 in 2015. Past performance, as they say, is no guarantee of future results, but the trend from red ink to black ink is always good to see. Ideally, these shoe o erings for 2019 will continue to help spark sales. (Prices are suggested retail.) Head / head.com /800-289-7366 Complementing the Sprint Superfabric (men’s, $159.95) introduced in late 2018, the Revolt and Sprint lines will have new iterations, both with Jan. 16 releases. The low-profi le Revolt 3.0 (men’s/women’s, $119.95) o ers increased comfort and stability for side-to-side play, while the lightweight Sprint 2.5 (men’s/women’s, $119.95) should add to the repu- tation, in terms of wear and performance, of a shoe created for quick movements throughout the court.

  • Independent Factors Associated with Wearing Different Types of Outdoor Footwear in a Representative Inpatient Population: a Cross-Sectional Study Alex L
    Barwick et al. Journal of Foot and Ankle Research (2018) 11:19 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13047-018-0260-7 RESEARCH Open Access Independent factors associated with wearing different types of outdoor footwear in a representative inpatient population: a cross-sectional study Alex L. Barwick1*, Jaap J. van Netten2,3,4,5, Lloyd F. Reed2,3 and Peter A. Lazzarini2,3,5,6 Abstract Background: Footwear can have both a positive and negative impact on lower limb health and mobility across the lifespan, influencing the risk of foot pain, ulceration, and falls in those at risk. Choice of footwear can be influenced by disease as well as sociocultural factors, yet few studies have investigated the types of footwear people wear and the profiles of those who wear them. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with outdoor footwear type worn most often in a representative inpatient population. Methods: This study was a secondary data analysis of a cohort of 733 inpatients that is highly representative of developed nations’ hospitalised populations; 62 ± 19 years, 55.8% male, and 23.5% diabetes. Socio-demographic, medical history, peripheral arterial disease, peripheral neuropathy, foot deformity, foot ulcer history, amputation history and past foot treatment variables were collected. Participants selected the footwear type they mostly wore outside the house in the previous year from 16 types of footwear. Multivariate logistic regression identified independent factors associated with outdoor footwear types selected. Results: The most common outdoor footwear types were: running shoes (20%), thongs/flip flops (14%), walking shoes (14%), sandals (13%) and boots (11%).

Defendant Skechers also makes shoes. adidas asks the Court to prevent Skechers from selling three different shoes which adidas claims are confusingly similar to adidas’s registered trademarks and protectable trade dress. The Court finds adidas is likely to succeed in establishing its right to enforce the marks and trade dress asserted here, including the unregistered Stan Smith trade dress. adidas is also likely to succeed in showing that the Skechers shoes infringe adidas’s marks and trade dress because the Skechers shoes are likely to cause consumer confusion.

  • Designing Footwear for Uniformed South African Females – a Practical Study
    Proc. of the 4th International Conference on 3D Body Scanning Technologies, Long Beach CA, USA, 19-20 November 2013 Designing Footwear for Uniformed South African Females – A Practical Study Karen BREDENKAMP ERGOnomics TECHnologies, Centurion, South Africa http://dx.doi.org/10.15221/13.467 Abstract The main challenge inherent in designing for uniformed members remains the accommodation of large variances in anthropometry. Due to the rigid sizing rules characteristic to the footwear industry, designing to accommodate large foot shape variances requires out-of-the-box thinking. The aim of this study was to design female court shoes for uniformed members of the immensely diverse South African (SA) female population. Three dimensional (3D) foot anthropometry was collected for SA females by use of an InFoot™ laser foot scanner. The foot shapes characteristic to the SA female population were analysed by means of two techniques : 1) principal component analysis (PCA) of 13 foot measurements extracted from the 3D foot data, and 2) PCA of all 3D points on foot scans converted to homologeous 3D foot models (Di+). The most prominent foot shape variances observed (irrespective of foot length) included foot width and height, heel to ball of foot width ratio and arch height. In addition, the 3D shape analysis (homologeous foot models) highlighted toe box shape, heel shape and heel bone angle variances. The process of designing and developing female court shoes that will incorporate these foot shape variances included several iterations of last design changes and objective fit evaluations. The original last design was conducted by use of Computer Aided Design (CAD) last design software (ShoemasterQS Custom software) incorporating Cases of 3D foot forms identified to represent the ranges of variances in SA female foot forms.

  • Introduction to Leather Product Manufacturing
    KIOT Leather Engineering INTRODUCTION TO LEATHER PRODUCT MANUFACTURING PPT- 3 SHIKUR M. BASIC PARTS PARTS OF A SHOE The parts of shoe can be grouped broadly into those which make up the upper and those which constitute the sole and heel at bottom. The aim of this section is to identify the basic parts which go to make up uppers and bottoms. A. UPPER PART A simple upper consists of three basic parts: • The vamp, which covers the toes and forepart or front of the shoe. • The quarters which covers the middle of the foot. • The counter which covers the back of the foot. The top of the shoe which surrounds the opening for the foot is called the top line. The lower extremity where the upper meets the sole or insole is called the feather edge. When the patterns are cut, an additional margin is added to the feather edge which allows the upper to be attached to the rest of the shoe. This is called the lasting allowance. Example of Shoe and its Parts: DIFFERENT UPPER PARTS OF SHOE 1. VAMP Vamp often consists of a single piece of upper material. They may, however, consist of two separate pieces stitched together to make a whole. I.e. for example, Toecaps and wing caps A conventional toecap is set squarely across the shoe. A wing cap is angled back to give a streamlined effect. This may cover the toes in an intricate flowing curve or may lie simply round the wall edge of the last. In both cases, however, the wing cap and vamp extend to the lasting edge.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Oregon Marco A. Hernandez, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted October 7, 2016 Portland, Oregon Filed May 10, 2018 Before: Diarmuid F. O’Scannlain, Richard R. Clifton, and Jacqueline H. Nguyen, Circuit Judges. Opinion by Judge Nguyen; Partial Concurrence and Partial Dissent by Judge Clifton 2 ADIDAS AMERICA V. SKECHERS USA SUMMARY* Lanham Act / Preliminary Injunction The panel affirmed in part and reversed in part the district court’s preliminary injunction prohibiting Skechers USA, Inc., from selling shoes that allegedly infringe and dilute adidas America, Inc.’s Stan Smith trade dress and Three-Stripe mark. Affirming in part, the panel held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in issuing the preliminary injunction as to adidas’s claim the Skechers’s Onix shoe infringed on adidas’s unregistered trade dress of its Stan Smith shoe. The panel concluded that adidas was likely to succeed on the merits of this claim because the trade dress was nonfunctional, the trade dress had acquired secondary meaning, and there was a substantial likelihood of confusion between the parties’ products. In addition, the district court did not clearly err in finding a likelihood of irreparable harm to the Stan Smith. Reversing in part, the panel held that the district court erred in issuing a preliminary injunction as to adidas’s claim that Skechers’s Cross Court shoe infringed and diluted its Three-Stripe mark.
