Is retail footwear fit for purpose for the feet of adults who are obese? (2016)
Journal Article

Background: The internal morphology and dimensions of shoes are determined by lasts on which they are manufactured, defined by foot shape, aesthetics and manufacturing requirements. Obese adults have larger foot dimensions with flatter morphology and... Read More about Is retail footwear fit for purpose for the feet of adults who are obese?.

Investigating the reliability of a 3D foot measurement application (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Effects of shoe sole geometry on toe clearance and walking stability in older adults (2015)
Journal Article

Thirty-five percent of people above age 65 fall each year, and half of their falls are associated with tripping: tripping, an apparently ‘mundane’ everyday problem, therefore significantly impacts on older people's health and associated medical costs...
