Abstract

Shoes play an important role in human life. For children in particular, shoes also support the development of their feet. This study is aimed to integrate anthropometric approach with Kansei Engineering in designing shoes for Indonesian children. Eighteen dimensions of foot anthropometry for 331 Indonesian Sundanese children ages 6-10 were measured and presented, a shoe size chart for Indonesian children is proposed as well. Moreover, Kansei Engineering was applied to capture consumers' ‘emotion' toward children's shoe design and was evaluated both for Indonesian parents and children. The result shows that emotion related to children's shoe design are comfort and appearance. The implication of the results is further discussed.
