Many footwear and shoes claimed as effective tool of promoting health and rehabilitation have been invented. However, there is little evidence found in many cases. The purpose of this study was to biomechanically investigate the effect of footwear invented by inspiration from waraji (Japanese traditional sandal) and claimed to contribute to foot health. Ten healthy adults were recruited as subjects. Biomechanical data with the footwear worn were compared to those with the bare feet in three types of motion: walking, quiet standing and hallux bending. Motion data were collected using a motion capture system, force plate and electromyogram. Furthermore, in order to investigate the influence of intervention by the footwear, the subjects were asked to wear it for all the one month. After the intervention, the same experiments were conducted. The experimental results showed that the investigated footwear had positive effect of increasing the driving force of the ground reaction force, shorteing of the trajectory length of the center of pressure, ets. These effects amy be caused by the contact stimulation to the skin between foot fingers.
