In the comment section, participants were asked to give comments on the challenges
when it comes to finding the right shoe size.
Participants must have weight and height taken before the scanning process. The
participants were informed of the objectives of the experiment with detailed explana-

followed by the cleaning of the foot using ethanol sprayed on tissue (suggested by Mr.

When the participants are in the right position, markers are then placed at the five
bones. It is important that the participants stand correctly to ensure that the right
