Abstract:

To achieve the efficiency and specification of the flat knitting shoe-upper design, based on an in-depth study of flat knitting principles, combined with the human foot features and requirements of the motion function the functionality and decoration of the shoes, the model of a plane for the shoe-upper was established by means of two-dimensional and three-dimensional design method in combination and applied to the manufacture. It not only meets the functional requirements of the human foot complex, but also guarantees the rationality of the structure itself. Through the application example of the pattern used in half shaping and the whole-shaped shoe-upper, it is proved that the pattern is suitable for the design of flat knitting shoe-upper, change of structure and pattern and color is realized in the knitting process by different knitting method, and it provides the reference for design and development of flat knitting shoe-upper products.

Key words: sports shoe, foot feature, flat pattern, flat knitting shoe-upper, shaping method
