Sock liner designing apparatus, sock liner designing method and recording medium for recording program

A sock liner designing method for use in designing a sock liner for a footwear including a sole and an upper, the sock liner designing method comprising:

• obtaining measurement data of a foot;
• obtaining a first function parameter of a function of the footwear to be improved by insertion of the sock liner into the footwear;
• obtaining a second function parameter of the function of the footwear;
• determining a difference between the first function parameter and the second function parameter, the difference between the first function parameter and the second function parameter indicating a deficiency of the function to be improved in the footwear;
• calculating design data of the sock liner based on the difference between the first function parameter and the second function parameter and the measurement data of the foot, the design data of the sock liner indicating a configuration of the sock liner adapted to improve the function of the footwear for the foot;
• and
• outputting the design data to produce the sock liner having the configuration adapted to improve the function of the footwear for the foot.

A non-transitory recording medium having recorded thereon a program that is executable by a processor, the program causing the processor to perform a sock liner designing method for use in designing a sock liner for a footwear including a sole and an upper, the sock liner designing method comprising:

• obtaining measurement data of a foot;
• obtaining a first function parameter of a function of the footwear to be improved by insertion of the sock liner into the footwear;
• obtaining a second function parameter of the function of the footwear;
• determining a difference between the first function parameter and the second function parameter, the difference between the first function parameter and the second function parameter indicating a deficiency of the function to be improved in the footwear;
• calculating design data of the sock liner based on the difference between the first function parameter and the second function parameter and the measurement data of the foot, the design data of the sock liner indicating a configuration of the sock liner adapted to improve the function of the footwear for the foot;
• and
• outputting the design data to produce the sock liner having the configuration adapted to improve the function of the footwear for the foot.
