Abstract
The foot projected contours from the right foot were taken for 24 male and 38 female Japanese adults. The projected contours from the right shoes last for N (narrow in toe part), M and W types in 25EE (male) and 23E (female) were also taken. The latter was put on the former along with the foot axis line. The narrower the width of the toe part of shoe last was, the longer toetip room was. The female foot had a larger projected area over that of shoes last in the first toe side.
