This paper examines the effect of sole material on the plantar pressure for different skin aging conditions of a diabetic foot. A fully parametric finite element model, based on a 3D bio-model, was developed, and used to evaluate the effect of various combinations of sole materials and skin stiffness on the developed plantar pressure distribution for three main gait phases. The results reveal the significant effect of sole on the reduction of plantar pressure and how it varies for different skin aging conditions and gait phase.
