for the sometimes difficult terrain that person is traversing. We have designed footwear to serve as a form of protection for the foot. The American Podiatric Association (2004)
observes: "From ancient Egyptian times down through the centuries, footwear has been designed to meet
mankinds real and perceived needs-protection, support, comfort, sturdiness, and stylishness" Footwear not only is functional
but it is an important part of human attire (Szpunar, 2004). Consequently, footwear must be fashionable and complimentary to other clothes (Szpunar, 2004). Above all, however, footwear must
