Abstract

Knowledge of the foot morphometry is important for proper foot structure and function. Foot structure as a vital part
of human body is important for many reasons. The foot anthropometric and morphology phenomena are analyzed together
with hidden biomechanical descriptors in order to fully characterize foot functionality. For Croatian student population
the scatter data of the individual foot variables were interpolated by multivariate statistics. Foot morphometric
descriptors are influenced by many factors, such as life style, climate, and things of great importance in human society.
Dominant descriptors related to fit and comfort are determined by the use 3D foot shape and advanced foot biomechanics.
Some practical recommendatios and conclusions for medical, sportswear and footwear practice are highlighted.
