Abstract
This paper presents an analytic method and a design technique for golf shoes with coolant in the insole. The golf shoes are modeled using the finite element method for precision by considering the configuration by the insole, the midsole and the outsole, which compose the golf shoes. The values of standard human foot temperature for heat transfer boundary conditions are adopted for the FEA(Finite Element Analysis). By the commercial FEM software for heat transfer analysis, MARC V7.3, the temperature and the amounts of heat flux change for the insole are obtained, respectively. It can be concluded that results obtained by FEM in the insole are different depending on the characteristic of heat transfer. The results reported herein provide better understanding of analyzing the golf shoes. Moreover, it is believed that those properties of the results can be utilized in the shoes industry to develop the effective design method.
