KANSEI ERGONOMICS FOR SHOE DEVELOPMENT
Kansei ergonomics was applied to three design phases of a product design. The specific product used in this paper was shoes for children aged 3-5 years. Phase 1 consisted of market research. We analyzed the answers to a questionnaire completed by 58 parents and obtained their choice of shoe patterns for their children. Phase 2 was an analysis of the Kansei evaluation of the product design. We analyzed the Kansei evaluation data for 29 pairs of childrens shoes based on answers by 23 mothers. We proposed a method for analyzing the correspondence between the design elements and Kansei. We also proposed a method for visual three-dimensional (3D) mapping of the relationship between the variation in the design elements and specific Kansei words that the designers focused on. Phase 3 was an ergonomic evaluation of functional performance. We measured the pressure distribution on the foot in real time while a child was running. We analyzed the transfer of body weight on the foot according to the design of the shoes, and showed that Kansei ergonomics constitute a powerful methodology for product planning, development, and sales promotion.
