Saucony is a shoe company that creates a range of shoes from high performance running shoes to the comfort shoes nurses may wear during a long shift, using athlete performance to drive product design.
THE CHALLENGE
To understand shoe performance and inform material innovation into product design, Saucony needs detailed visibility of the human body in motion.
THE SOLUTION
Using Vicon motion capture and other integrated equipment, Saucony can track a wide range of human metrics to understand body and foot movements, creating smart shoe development decisions for all types of users.
“Saucony is taking the time to fully understand the product that we create,” adds Lynch. “We are here for everybody, whether you are winning the race or simply trying to get across the finish line or just get through the day. And these shoes were designed and tested with the help of Vicon.”
