Problem Statement
Long distance runners increase the chance of
injury tremendously when the support of the
athletic shoe is worn down. Currently, there is
no definitive method to determine the condition
of the shoe effectively. All current solutions
define wear through arbitrary time and distance
intervals and disregard key variables such as
frequency of use, weight of the user, and
environmental conditions.
