Method for developing a footwear article

A method for developing a footwear article, comprising steps of:

• A) by a computing unit, receiving a foot scan model corresponding to an external shape of a foot, and a set of feature point parameters corresponding to the foot scan model;
• B) by the computing unit, receiving a set of comfort parameters corresponding to the foot scan model;
• C) by the computing unit, calculating and generating a preliminary digital model of the footwear article based on the foot scan model, the set of feature point parameters, and the set of comfort parameters;
• D) by the computing unit, modifying an external shape of the preliminary digital model of the footwear article and adding a microstructure to the preliminary digital model of the footwear article for enhancing support, thereby generating a modified digital model of the footwear article;
• and
• E) manufacturing the footwear article based on the modified digital model of the footwear article.
