TL;DR: The results revealed that male foot length, height and breadth were significantly higher than their female counterparts, and there is a geographical and sexual difference in anthropometric parameters, therefore should be considered in shoe industries and foot shape.
Abstract: The human foot shows great variation in length, width and height in males and females due to genetic, natural and environmental factors; and it has anthropological, clinical and forensic importance. The aim of the study was to measure the anthropometric parameters of foot of adult males and females Ga'anda people, to find out racial characteristics of their own, determine their difference and to classify their foot shapes. The study was carried out on sixty five (65) male and sixty five (65) female adult Ga'anda people. Foot length, foot breadth and foot height was measured. Foot index was calculated and foot shape was determined. The results revealed that male foot length, height and breadth were significantly higher than their female counterparts. Regarding the foot shape, proportion of broad foot was higher among the males; however, the slender and standard foot types were higher among the females. The anthropometric data provided serves as a template for the Ga'anda people on whom the study was carried out, and confirms that there is a geographical and sexual difference in anthropometric parameters, therefore should be considered in shoe industries and

TL;DR: Height, length and breadth of foot were higher in Bangalees than Santhals and showed a significantly higher value for the foot length, and slender foot was found more in Bangalese but most of these two groups have standard foot shape.
Abstract: Context: The structural and functional components of the foot are composed of highly refined interrelated segments which provide a stable base for supporting the body in both load support and shock absorption during standing, running, walking and jumping. The study was aimed to measure the foot of adult Santhal males of Pirganj upazilla, Rangpur to find out to racial characteristics of their own and compare with Bangalee adult males of the same area. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 60 (sixty) adult male Santhals and 120 (one hundred and twenty) adult male Bangalees. Foot length, foot breadth and foot height was measured. Foot index was calculated and foot shape was determined. Results: Height, length and breadth of foot were higher in Bangalees than Santhals and showed a significantly higher value for the foot length. Regarding the foot shape, slender foot was found more in Bangalees but most of these two groups have standard foot shape. Conclusion: In the present study significantly higher value of foot length and higher percentage of slender foot in Bangalees but higher percentage of broad foot among the Santhals were found . Slender foot in Bangalees may be due to less weight bearing habit than Santhals. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bja.v11i1.20506 Bangladesh Journal of Anatomy, January 2013, Vol. 11 No. 1 pp 30-33

TL;DR: In this article, a foot health orthosis was proposed to improve the kicking force (spring force) of the feet during walking, increase the muscular strength, and prevent deterioration around the legs, achieving maintenance and improvement of health.
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a foot health orthosis which naturally enhances kicking force (spring force) of the feet during walking, increases the muscular strength as well as prevents deterioration around the legs, achieves maintenance and improvement of health and effectively prevents and corrects toe troubles such as floating toes, broad foot and hallux valgus.SOLUTION: A foot health orthosis 1 externally fitted to the toes for use includes: a holding part 2 shaped in an elastic ring which can be externally fitted to a toe; and a cushion part 3 which is formed in a part of the holding part 2, can be held in the rear surface of the toe while externally fitted and is thicker than the holding part 2.

TL;DR: A comparison of the locomotor types, speed, tenacity, and foot form of nearly 300 species in 52 families of marine prosobranchs has revealed that foot size and shape and even subtle variations of locomotion affect the speed and strength of adhesion to the substratum.
