In this research, we aim to modify a feeling of walking by applying vibration on sole. To apply the vibration, we developed a vibration application device with a vibrator attached on the sole of a clog. The intensity of the vibration was determined based on the difference in the acceleration obtained between while walking on the target and current ground conditions. Experimental results showed that some of feelings of walking can be modified by the proposed device.
