Validation of a model for prediction of skin temperatures in footwear
A model for foot skin temperature prediction was evaluated on the basis of 2 experiments on subjects at various environmental temperatures (light seated manual work at -10.7 °C (Study 1), and a short walking period in combination with standing and sitting at +2.8 °C, -11.8 °C and -24.6 °C (Study 2), with boots of 3 insulation levels. Insulation of the footwear was measured on a thermal foot model.
