AB  - This article aims to demonstrate how the positioning of the seam line between the vamp and quarter and the number of
stitches affect the joint strength and overall performance of the product during walking. The configuration of analysis
conditions and constraints was conducted using ANSYSTM. The gait biomechanics were considered to establish the
load model, including the distribution of forces, their magnitudes, and constraints. The analysis focused on the three
phases of gait: heel strike, mid-stance, and push-off, evaluating three key parameters: directional displacement, Von
Mises stress, and elastic deformation. The study emphasises how directional displacement, stress distribution, and
elastic deformation change based on the gait phase and the materials used in the construction of the selected footwear
type. Using a two-stitch seam to join the components promotes directional displacements and reduces stress/tension
compared to a single-stitch seam. Positioning the seam line between the vamp and quarters along the toe line increases
stress/tension in the front section of the shoe. The analysis was validated by comparing simulation results with average
plantar pressures obtained from a biomechanical assessment of plantar pressure distribution.
