Abstract
A method is described for selecting, in a cost-effective and largely automated manner, best fit footwear with an optimally selected or individualized footbed. With the aid of a preferably multisensory foot scanner, the geometric three-dimensional shape of the foot and the plantar pressure image registered with it are determined at the same time. A database of digitized shoe interiors is used for determining, by means of a best fit selection, the series-produced shoe that best matches the 3D foot model. Using a conventional system for producing individualized insoles and/or footbeds, an insole that matches the sole of the foot is selected or prepared and, in a further, novel method step according to the invention, by means of numerical determination of the three-dimensional surfaces of the footbed, the foot sole and the peripheral zone of the sole in the inner shoe, the so-called insole space, the required insole constituting the footbed is selected, or further processed numerically, such that it fits in an optimum manner into the selected best fit item of footwear in the put-on condition.
