Hey guys, going to post this here as it's the best thread for this.
Anyway...
I'm studying for my Master's degree in Fashion and Textile Design (University of Lapland, Faculty of Arts), and I'm currently working on a skate shoe design project which will be a part of my master's thesis research.
Shortly, the need for this project stemmed for personal issues with skate shoes available, as there are no shoes available for people with low volume feet, and no shoes that has more of a natural-shaped toe box etc. So the project's goal is to find new solutions in skate shoe design to maximize ergonomics without compromising on the shoe's functionality or aesthetics.
I'm doing my research in various ways, but I'd highly appreciate any knowledge from people, who appreciate a good skate shoe as much as I do. That's why I compiled a survey, just for people on this thread, to gather valuable research data.
Here's the survey. It's on microsoft forms -platform. It's anonymous and confidential, and used strictly for academic purposes only.
Should take around 10-15 minutes to answer, depending on how in-depth you wanna go with the answers.

Thanks everyone!
