Mother’s Day is this Sunday, and Monday is International Nurses Day! What do nurses and moms have in common? They each provide support and healing, and are essential to the lives of so many people. What’s more, both moms and nurses are frequently on their feet for long stretches! They need supportive footwear that can absorb the impact of each step as they move about their days. But how do you test a shoe’s support? We’ve got the answer!

In this first application study, we used a TA.XTPlus Analyzer and a TA-004 1.5” diameter acrylic cylinder probe to press into the heel of different OOFOS brand shoes. In our second study in this series, we compared three different styles of OOFAS shoes. The data obtained then served as a benchmark to our third study, where we looked at insoles to see how they compare.
