Abstract
As the rapid development of whole society of China, consumers pay more attention to the comfort and fit degree of garment accessory like footwear. Precise foot size can help good design for footwear and other related accessory. In this paper, we investigated the foot anthropometric data of 664 Chinese young women and 596 Chinese young men, with ages from 18 to 25 years old, by using 3D scanning equipment. Descriptive statistics of each data set was obtained. Then using ANOVA analysis the foot length and foot breadth among different ages are compared. The three ANOVA assumptions are verified for each data set. Only the data of foot breadth of women has inequality variance, so Welch test is used for this data. The final results show that women foot data is not different among ages, but men foot data is significantly different among ages.
