Abstract
The research aims to identify the method for preparing a model of the ankle boot (Cowboy) according to the correct scientific principles for measuring the feet and legs of Egyptian women aged twenty to thirty years (20-30). The research adopted a descriptive methodology appropriate for the current study. It involved conducting detailed anthropometric measurements of the foot and leg using the correct scientific method to achieve accurate measurements for the feet and legs of Egyptian women. Measurements were taken from a sample of one hundred and four (104) Egyptian women, with ages ranging from twenty to thirty years (20-30), from several governorates in the Arab Republic of Egypt (Cairo, Giza, New Valley, Port Said, Qalyubia) to ensure a diverse geographic representation from many governorates in Egypt. The results of the research provided accurate statistical data that can be used in developing the design and preparation of shoe models in particular and the shoe industry in general, ensuring consumer comfort and improving the quality of local production. This was done by reaching averages of measurements for the dimensions of the feet and legs of Egyptian women to be used in the practical study for preparing a model of the ankle boot (Cowboy) (the type of boot under current investigation) according to correct scientific principles and the statistical results of these measurements, due to the lack of an Egyptian measurement chart specific to the feet and legs of Egyptian women, particularly in the age group under current investigation.
