Abstract

Purpose of the article is to investigate innovative solutions for decorative finishing in shoe design taking into account ergonomic principles and to analyze the possibilities of combining aesthetics, functionality and practicality in the context of modern trends and consumer needs. Methodology. The study used an interdisciplinary approach, which includes a literature review, structural and functional analysis of existing design options for ergonomic and aesthetically attractive shoes, interpretation and systematization of the results obtained. Results. The article analyzes research aimed at improving the aesthetic and ergonomic qualities of footwear, which is developed in accordance with the requirements of individual consumer groups. It was determined that the introduction of innovative technologies of laser engraving, 3D printing, biomimetics and bionics methods improves the aesthetic qualities of shoes and satisfies consumer requirements in ergonomic design. It has been established that innovative solutions and approaches for ergonomic design is primarily widely implemented in the design of professional sports shoes, rehabilitation and orthopedic shoes, and military shoes. It has been determined that innovative ergonomic solutions can be integrated into shoes design, combining functionality with decorative finishes. Scientific novelty. The work systematizes innovative approaches to the integration of ergonomics and decorative solutions into the design of various types of shoes. The possibilities of using bionic design and modern materials to increase the functionality and durability of shoes are identified. Practical relevance. The results of the study are of practical importance for shoe designers and manufacturers.
