The effects of habitual footwear use: foot shape and function in native barefoot walkers†

Kristiaan D’Août, Todd C. Pataky, Dirk De Clercq et al. · 1 Jun 2009

The human foot was anatomically modern long before footwear was invented, and is adapted to barefoot walking on natural substrates. Understanding the biomechanics of habitually barefoot walkers can provide novel insights both for anthropologist and for applied scientists, yet the necessary data is virtually non-existent. To start assessing morphological and functional effects of the habitual…

Impact characteristics in shod and barefoot running

Joseph Hamill, Elizabeth Russell Esposito, Allison H. Gruber et al. · 13 Feb 2011

Increased impact characteristics are often cited as a cause of running injuries. One method that has been used to reduce impact characteristics is to increase the thickness of the midsole of running footwear with the intention of attenuating greater shock from the foot-ground collision. A second method that has been suggested is to run barefoot.…

Softer and more resilient running shoe cushioning properties enhance running economy

Jay T. Worobets, John W. Wannop, Elias K. Tomaras et al. · 17 Jun 2014

Purpose: Several studies have investigated whether shoe cushioning properties have an effect on running economy. However, the findings have not been unanimous. Studies have shown both increases and decreases in running economy with soft shoes, while other studies have shown participant specific differences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to add to the body…

The influence of barefoot and barefoot-inspired footwear on the kinetics and kinematics of running in comparison to conventional running shoes

Jonathan Sinclair, Andrew Greenhalgh, Darrell Brooks et al. · 5 Jul 2012

Background: Barefoot running has been the subject of much attention in footwear biomechanics literature, based on the supposition that it serves to reduce the occurrence of overuse injuries in comparison to conventional shoe models. This consensus has led footwear manufacturers to develop shoes that aim to mimic the mechanics of barefoot locomotion. Objectives: This study…

Improved footwear comfort reduces oxygen consumption during running

Geng Luo, Pro Stergiou, Jay T. Worobets et al. · 1 Mar 2009

Footwear comfort has been shown to have an influence on injuries, but it was unknown whether comfort was related to performance. The current study examined the effects of footwear comfort on running economy. Thirteen male participants rated five pairs of shoes on perceived comfort. Oxygen consumption was assessed during steady state runs in the least…

Footwear Science template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Footwear Science format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Footwear Science template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Footwear Science use?
Footwear Science uses Author–year (Chicago, T&F) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Footwear Science 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Footwear Science?
No. DocuGuru generates the interact LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Taylor & Francis-ready Footwear Science document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Footwear Science template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Footwear Science format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Footwear Science?
Footwear Science is a multidisciplinary journal published by Taylor & Francis. DocuGuru's Footwear Science template matches Taylor & Francis's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Footwear Science PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Footwear Science template (the interact class) that is ready to submit to Taylor & Francis, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Footwear Science template cost?
You can start writing in the Footwear Science template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Footwear Science PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
