Case Study: ASICS achieves faster, more sustainable running shoe design with Synopsys Simpleware

3D Numerical Foot Model for Running Shoe Design

ASICS needed a better way to design running shoes for specific running conditions while reducing prototyping time, costs, and material use. Using Synopsys Simpleware, the company created a 3D numerical foot model to improve shoe stability design and better understand foot motion during running.

Synopsys helped ASICS generate accurate, highly optimized foot models and simulate shoe performance, reducing the need for practical prototyping. The result was faster, more sustainable development, lower costs and materials, and improved insight into controlling pronation and foot joint motion during the contact phase.
