This study was to analyze properties of the foot form through a development figure of the surface area by factor analysis, cluster analysis, and reglation analysis. This study was performed 71 college womens between 19 and 23 years old residing in Pusan urban area. The result was as follows:
1. There are four factors selected by factor analysis. The 1st factor signifies the surface area of the toe. The 2nd factor signifies the surface area between Metatarsal circumference and Tarsal circumference. The 3rd factor signifies the surface area between Toe circumference and Metatarsal circumference. The 4th factor signifies the surface area between Heel-ankle circumference.
2. There are three clusters selected by fast cluster.
Cluster 1: The foot size, most parts of foot surface area and total foot surface area are relatively small to other clusters, but the surface area between Metatarsal circumference and Tarsal circumference is relatively large to other cluster.
Cluster 2: The foot size, all parts of foot surface area and total foot surface area are relatively large to other clusters.
Cluster 3: The foot size, the most part of foot surface area and total foot surface area are relatively small to other clusters as Cluster 1, but the surface area of the sole of the heel and the ankle is relatively large to other clusters.
3. Total surface area of the foot=-274.94+24.01* Foot length+9.28*Metatarsal circumference.
