Claim 14:
15. The computer system of claim 1, wherein the computer system is configured to use the device to:
record a first data set for a first configuration of the footwear and a second test data set for a second configuration of the footwear, each said data set consisting of measurements of force and/or relative pressure distribution of the user's footsole on an upper surface of the footwear during the user's locomotion or other physical activity, as measured in at least one plane (1D) or in two planes (2D) or in three planes (3D) and/or including time or other measurements, the footwear upper surface including at least a multitude or 20 or 50 or 100 or 500 or 1,000 or 4,000, or 16,000 individual pressure sensors;
compare the first test data set and the second test data set with a preferred data set for measurements of the force and/or the relative pressure distribution of the foot sole of a model wearer or wearers on an upper surface of the footwear during the locomotion or other physical activity, as measured in at least one plane (1D) or in two planes (2D) or in three planes (3D) and/or including time or other measurements; and
select the configuration of the footwear that produced the test data set for the force or relative pressure distribution that is closest to the preferred data set for the force or relative pressure distribution and to reject the other configuration, thereby completing at least one full cycle of an operation to optimize the configuration of the footwear; and
wherein the optimizing operation is used to reduce a range of pronation and/or supination of the user's foot and ankle during a landing phase of locomotion through active configuration of either or both of the footwear soles.
