First published paper feels 🙌🏻

Ever wondered what shoes netball players are wearing?
This is the first study since 1986 to investigate the footwear profiles & foot-related problems of netball players & the first EVER scientific paper to include MALE netball players!

A couple of years ago, I travelled around Australia scanning thousands of feet of netball players.

You can read all about the findings in my recent publication “Do the feet of male and female netball players differ in shape? Implications for shoe design”.
