Design and Simulation study of fire-resistant biodegradable shoe

Today's generation is run over by fashion and its acts as a symbol of class and prestige. Due to which people tend to buy things without thinking and then the old ones are dumped. The same trend is followed in the footwear industry where the user tends to buy things and then throw it. This has led to the huge pile of footwear which are waste to them and these tend to end up in landfill and harm the environment and affect the health of the humans. Improper shape and material used in shoes tend to affect our ankle, gluteal calf muscles and in the longer run, it forms small ripples of vibration which slowly but surely affect our lower back. This is an essential commodity in today's world and its reliability I not that great in run according to research and various surveys. So, considering that there was a need to find an alternative design and material. Nowadays, the industry is moving toward environment inspired biodegradable, biocomposite materials and design, as it is easy to work with them and are inexpensive at the time. There are many biocomposites in India to choose from ranging from sisal, banana leaf, hemp, jute, bamboo etc. There is a desire to make this shoe available to the last person without compromising on its compressive strength, tensile strength, modal, nonlinear, life and wear. So, it was concluded to go back to our roots to find a material and design to do an amalgamation of science and Vedas. So, the traditions we are performing on the selected material and some parts of design are inspired by our Vedic knowledge backed by virtual testing and some modern techniques.
