Adjustable Compliance Footwear Technology (AcFT) - design preprint available


Probably not going to help your marathon time though


April 05, 2025

Our first paper detailing the design of new adjustable compliance footwear is live on bioRxiv! This project has been a couple years in the making, and we finally have a prototype version ready to show and perform locomotion studies with. This is actually the third iteration of the pneumatic sole design; it's more challenging than you might expect to get consistent performance out of a soft pressure vessel designed to be walked on for long periods of time.
