Goonetilleke, Ravindra S. and Himmelsbach, Jennifer A. (1992): Shoe Cushioning and Related Material Properties. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 36th Annual Meeting 1992. pp. 519-522.

This study investigated the effect of dynamic material properties on the Perceived Level of Cushioning (PLC) in shoes. An Impact Tester was used to characterize the material properties. Three pairs of shoes were used in the two experiments conducted. Experiment 1 was aimed at establishing the effects during standing while experiment 2 was an attempt to relate the effects during walking. A 7-point scale was used to rate PLC. The results showed that during standing, PLC may be related to stiffness of the material, compression, and the time to reach maximum deceleration. However, during walking, PLC appears to be related to the maximum deceleration as measured by the Impact Tester.
