This research project analyzes the comparison between technical standards applicable to the design of orthopedic footwear and the commercial offer available for adults with flat feet in the city of Ambato. The study arises from the lack of specific regulations in Ecuador and the limited technological development in production processes, which results in products that do not meet clinical or ergonomic parameters, affecting users’ quality of life. The study was conducted using a mixed approach that combined a documentary review of national and international standards with fieldwork through surveys of users and interviews with experts and local workshops. This methodology allowed contrasting regulatory requirements with market reality, identifying significant gaps in the manufacturing and commercialization of orthopedic footwear. The results show that the current commercial offer prioritizes aesthetics over functionality, lacks certifications, and presents deficiencies in anatomical customization, limiting therapeutic effectiveness and adherence to treatment. Additionally, production processes are mostly artisanal, without instrumented tests to validate biomechanical parameters, compromising clinical safety and sector competitiveness. The regulatory analysis revealed that, although general regulations exist for footwear and medical devices, none define the essential biomechanical parameters for orthopedic design, such as heel counter rigidity, arch support height, and controlled sole flexion. This regulatory gap, combined with the lack of technological innovation, restricts the local industry’s ability to meet international standards and access specialized markets. A structural gap between local practice and international technical guidelines is confirmed, requiring the implementation of specific regulations, adoption of advanced technologies, and technical training to ensure safe, functional, and aesthetically acceptable products.

This thesis presents the design of a climbing shoe (climbing slipper) specifically developed for the Boulder modality, integrating eco-design principles and traditional artisanal techniques to produce a functional, ergonomic, and sustainable product. The research identifies the needs of climbers through semi-structured interviews, an analysis of Boulder-specific movement requirements, and a technical review of existing climbing shoe models. Additionally, environmentally friendly materials, artisanal manufacturing processes, and user-centered design criteria were evaluated. The study identified recurring issues in current climbing footwear, including poor heel stability, rapid rubber degradation, and excessive toe pain. Based on these findings, a design proposal was created featuring an anatomical last adapted to climbers’ foot morphology, a quick velcro closure system, and sustainable materials for the sole and inner lining. An artisanal prototype was produced and later evaluated by users, who highlighted improvements in comfort, grip, and heel mobility. The results demonstrate that it is feasible to develop a high-performance climbing shoe using artisanal techniques and sustainable materials without compromising athletic performance. This research contributes to the field of climbing footwear design in Ecuador, promoting responsible material use and strengthening local innovation in specialized sports products.

Racing footwear design for racers between the ages of 18 and 30 requires the integration of functional materials that balance safety, performance, and ergonomics. Drivers demand fire-resistant footwear (such as Nomex or treated leather) with thermoregulatory and breathable properties to prevent heat fatigue during prolonged competitions. Materials such as TPU offer flexibility and abrasion resistance, while laminated neoprene provides waterproofing and a dynamic fit, adapting to rapid movements in confined cockpits. Footwear ergonomics are optimized through high-cut designs for ankle support, slipresistant soles, and insoles with selective cushioning that improve pedal sensitivity. Custom fit systems (integrated laces or closures) ensure precise maneuvering, while engineered mesh in strategic areas promote ventilation without compromising protection. Technological innovation includes printing processes on materials and new branding strategies to generate a positive and desirable image in the consumer's mind. Materials with different integrated self-healing characteristics extend the lifespan of footwear. Current trends in athletic footwear design for young runners focus on the incorporation of innovative materials that optimize performance, comfort, and sustainability. Particularly noteworthy are midsoles (prefabricated soles), combined with EVA and a rubber outsole. Additionally, knitted fabrics are used in the upper, which offer breathability and reduce the overall weight of the footwear—aspects especially valued by young runners seeking speed and coolness during training or competition.

This research analyzes the role of strategic design within the APROCALZA Association, with the aim of proposing a operative model that integrates design into the business management of the footwear industry. Based on a qualitative approach, interviews with managers, surveys with designers and entrepreneurs, as well as comparative matrices and hierarchical models, were applied to assess the level of design maturity in member companies. The results show that although design is recognized for its impact on competitiveness and brand differentiation, its implementation remains limited. 75% of designers report that they are only occasionally considered in strategic decision-making, and the same percentage of companies combine digital tools with manual processes, indicating partial digitalization. Additionally, most design ideas originate from external references or existing products, which restricts innovation. Through data analysis and triangulation, key barriers were identified, such as the lack of investment in design and innovation, and the absence of specialized training. Based on these findings, an operational model is proposed, addressing key pillars such as continuous training, digital transformation, sustainability, brand identity, and the integration of design into the organizational structure. This study highlights design as a strategic tool for the development of the sector and offers actionable pathways that can be adapted by similar production-oriented organizations across the country.

Footwear is one of the accessories of the wardrobe of great utility and its use has spread over the years. At first the shoes were simple leather bags used to cover the feet of the inclement weather, debris and other objects that can be found in the environment. However, from the twentieth century to the present day, the processing techniques as well as the materials used have been progressively improving; for the same reason, in the international market you can find a wide variety of footwear, comfortable, quality and with prices according to the purchasing power of the client. However, in the province of Tungurahua there is no great innovation in leather footwear; therefore, this project focuses on the development of footwear with embossing techniques aimed at women aged 25 to 30 years, because the aforementioned artisanal techniques are rare in the local market; but they add value to the product. For this reason, we will work with qualified and specialized craftsmen in the embossing area. These collaborations promote fair trade with price-quality correspondence. Likewise, to determine the type of shoe to be made, materials, additional details, among other aspects; surveys and interviews are conducted. Finally, through the sum of knowledge between the designer and the craftsman; and the proper use and fusion of all the elements that make up the design; it is intended to innovate and generate comfortable, eye-catching, functional and high quality products; to meet the needs of today's women.

This project analyses the professional skills specifically in the footwear design sector within the leather and footwear cluster, this initiative is created by the lack of third level institutions that allow the creation of a footwear designer so called professionally, that is to say, fulfilling an academic profile and thus making the professional skills of these designers known to the footwear business sector. This research has been carried out with the aim of developing a study on the professional skills of footwear designers and their impact on the development of the branch within the business sector, as this will effectively disseminate the skills that these professionals have to work in the area of footwear. The present project has been elaborated by means of an exploratory transversal study, based on a survey, which will allow us to ask precise questions to determine the professional competences of a footwear designer, by means of a non-probabilistic sampling technique, according to Scharager, J., (2001) says that: "The subjects are selected given the convenient accessibility and proximity of the subjects for the researcher. This technique has been chosen because there are several very conservative companies that do not allow access to them. Dissemination in this research will be made known by means of the proposal in which a catalogue is drawn up referring to all the professional skills that a designer acquires in the academy, so that in this way it can be made known to footwear businessmen and thus establish professional skills.
