Week 4 : Case Study

In these day, shoes are the important objects that we use everyday. But what becomes the problem is when the quality of our shoes is not good enough, the example like not comfortable, have no more grip, it have the hard sole that will make our foot injure and etc. The things that made serious is when our shoes become slippery, especially when rain. The impact of the result could be fatal, the example could be broken arm, sprain, and when we pratfall it could make our coccyx (tailbone) broke and cause the blindness. The victims can be from different ages, from children to elder. The place that always happen to slip is the place that we always crossed. The bus stop, roads, stairs, etc.

Broken arm that might be the cause of slip injury

Bus Stop. Place that fall accident happen

At the bus stop, people usually in hurry to catch the bus, so they are running, eventhough it was rain. So I think it will be the serious problem when we dont wear the proper shoes, so it can be slipped. Especially for children and elderly. The children usually play around when waiting at the bus top, they running until not realize that it’s not safe cause the wet surface that cause from rain can make them fall. And for the eldery, some of them already don’t have power to balance their own body, so when they slipped, they maybe not possible to equalize their body to the proper position.

Flat shoes sole that can make us slip

We should not belittle this problem, because small problem can become a really big matter. So that’s why, we take this topic. I want to find the solution that make our shoes won’t slip when rain or not, and ofcourse, comfortable to use everyday. Maybe our solution will be make shoes that will have changeable soles, so everyday in every situation we can go outside safely.
