Shoe Study - A project focused on improving the ergonomics of a climbing shoe; specifically, overcoming the need for excessive tightness often causing permenant foot deformation. In conjunction with a sports physio, it was concluded that climbers often preferred a painfully tight shoe due to a lifting and correspondant strengthening of the plantarfascia ligament group in the arch. Inspired by a strapping method used in plantarfascia injury, a design was prototyped and trialled with promising results.
