Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for creating personalized insoles designed to provide physical comfort to the individual wearing shoes containing the personalized insoles. Three-dimensional (3D) foot scans are performed on the individual's feet to better understand the contours and geometry of each foot of the individual. The foot scans can be of each foot of the individual in varying positions (e.g., resting position with toes engaged with scanner top, toes-raised position with toes lifted from scanner top, metatarsal doming position, neutral calcaneal stance position, etc.). The 3D foot scans are used to generate personalized insole data that can be transmitted to a manufacturing device for manufacturing a personalized insole that is accurately designed to conform with the individual's foot and provide support in aligned load bearing positions.
