Here you have two pairs of feet that are identical in size to the millimeter. However, when you examine the biomechanical foot analysis, differences arise. In terms of footwear, these feet have very different needs. If the foot severely overpronates inward, it often requires products that support the walking and running pattern more. A supinating, neutral or mildly overpronated foot can be guided with a lighter touch.   That’s why simply scanning the foot size is not enough to provide the right type of shoe for a customer. It’s essential to understand the foot's functions and recommend footwear accordingly, as well as customize insoles to support the foot's specific needs.   MyFootBalance® technology scans and creates a 3D model of the foot's shape, dimensions, and functions, which is then analyzed. Based on the foot analysis, pain points, and activities, we can recommend relevant products to prevent strain and pain while supporting an active life.   @FootBalance System Ltd.   #FootBalance #MyFootBalance #Healthtech #3Dscanning #CustomInsoles #CustomFit #Footwear #HealthFirst

Now seems a good time to revisit “Sustainability” in the Footwear and Apparel industries. We’ve seen articles questioning brands’ commitments to it (see below), and recent visits to Industry Trade shows left us with the firm impression that brands haven't been requesting as many new sustainable innovations as in the past. Instead, they are focusing on tried and true "value" materials and not pushing for anything that may add cost. We want to know your thoughts. Is “Sustainability” on hold in our industry? https://lnkd.in/enrRf6K9 #footwear #apparel #supplychain #zefyrexperts

What do you think will be the next must-have footwear style/brand? This week, two telling reports were released, indicating that the marketplace is primed for the next big footwear trend. The first is StockX’s “State of Resale” report, which examines shifts in consumer resale preferences. The second is Stifel’s 17th Annual Back-to-School Athletic Footwear Survey. Individually, each report highlights key trends we've been discussing, such as Nike's declining popularity, the continued rise of retro-running styles, and potential challenges facing the resale market. However, they also triangulate on one big emerging theme: The next must-have footwear style is a jump ball — and the style that ultimately prevails will redefine the competitive landscape.
