AOKANG, Zhejiang University, Has Successfully Developed The First Generation Low Cost Foot Type Measuring Instrument.

Tailoring is not unusual. Shoes are not so easy to measure.

Especially for consumers who have a pair of big feet, it is very difficult to buy shoes that are suitable for their size.

Nowadays, a new foot shape measuring instrument is expected to solve this problem.

The first generation of low-cost foot measuring instrument jointly developed by Zhejiang University and AOKANG group of leather products supplier of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games has been successfully developed in Zhejiang and has entered the stage of practical popularization.

According to the person in charge of the result, the foot type measuring instrument is actually the terminal collector of the "customized platform".

After measuring the foot, the collector will pform the collected foot data into specialized data, pform it from 2D to 3D, and build foot database.

Then, the designer combined with the shoes, colors and materials selected by the customers, and finally tailored the shoes that suit his unique shoes.

AOKANG group information center responsible person said that the project is supported by the Zhejiang provincial science and technology department and the relevant departments. It has been successfully developed after 1 years of repeated debugging and improvement, and has complete independent intellectual property rights.

Compared with the similar products abroad, the foot type measuring instrument has obvious low cost advantages, which laid the foundation for its mass market application.

At the 2007 China International Footwear Exhibition, which was opened not long ago, the foot type measuring instrument has received the attention and favor of many "big feet" consumers.

Many big foot consumers have tried, and up to now, the largest shoe size is 53 yards.

The head of Zhejiang University's "foot type measuring instrument" Research Group believes that the first generation of low-cost foot measuring instruments will be put into commercial operation after large quantities, which will lead to the emergence of "shoe free shoe store", and at the same time, it means the beginning of industrialization of personalized consumption mode.

At that time, consumers can measure feet and choose shoes, materials and colors that they like, and get their own personalized shoes within the specified time limit.
