Abstract

A method for manufacturing a sandal, wherein various aspects of said sandal may be customized for a wearer's feet. The aspects can involve one or more of: the toe thong location, the position of the foot strap, and the arch support profile and arch support position. For a particular wearer, the optimal locations/settings of one or more of the foregoing aspects may be determined by applying a computer algorithm, which takes into account the foot data of the wearer, which foot data may be obtained from image/video capture technology. The method then assembles a sandal having the optimal locations/settings, such that the foot strap position, the arch support profile and/or the arch support position, as the case may be, are customized for the wearer. Also disclosed herein is a sandal having a foot strap position and/or an arch support profile and arch support position that is customized for the wearer, and made in accordance with the above-described methods.
