Abstract

Foot structure description is important for many reasons. The foot anthropometric morphology phenomena are analyzed
together with hidden biomechanical functionality in order to fully characterize foot structure and function. For
younger Croatian population the scatter data of the individual foot variables were interpolated by multivariate statistics.
Foot structure descriptors are influenced by many factors, as a style of life, race, climate, and things of the great importance
in human society. Dominant descriptors are determined by principal component analysis. Some practical recommendation
and conclusion for medical, sportswear and footwear practice are highlighted.
