To ensure the effective implementation and performance of the shoe spring attachment, the following quality criteria will be established. These criteria will guide the evaluation of the device through specific tests and parameters:

1. Functional Testing

Shock Absorption Performance
Test Method: Conduct drop tests using standardized weights to measure the amount of shock absorbed by the spring mechanism.
Parameter: The device should reduce impact forces on the heel by at least 30% compared to standard insoles.

Arch Support Evaluation
Test Method: Utilize pressure mapping technology to assess pressure distribution across various foot types (flat, neutral, high arches).
Parameter: Achieve a balanced pressure distribution with no more than 5% variance across different foot types.

Antibacterial Efficacy
Test Method: Perform microbiological testing on materials used in the construction of the device to evaluate antibacterial properties.
Parameter: Materials should exhibit a reduction in bacterial growth of at least 99% after 24 hours of exposure.

2. Usability Testing

User Experience Assessment
Test Method: Conduct user trials with individuals suffering from chronic foot conditions to gather feedback on comfort and ease of use.
Parameter: At least 80% of users should report satisfaction with comfort levels and ease of attachment/detachment.

Instruction Clarity Evaluation
Test Method: Provide users with instructional materials and assess their ability to successfully attach the device without assistance.
Parameter: A minimum of 90% success rate in users completing the attachment process independently.

3. Safety Testing

Mechanical Integrity Assessment
Test Method: Perform durability tests simulating prolonged use and weight-bearing conditions to evaluate mechanical failure risks.
Parameter: The device must withstand at least 10,000 cycles of loading without visible wear or failure.

Slip Resistance Testing
Test Method: Use standardized slip resistance testing (ISO 13287) on surface in contact with both foot and ground.
Parameter: Achieve a coefficient of friction greater than 0.5 under dry and wet conditions.

4. Interaction Testing

Compatibility Assessment with Footwear Styles:
Test Method: Evaluate the attachment's fit across various shoe styles (sneakers, sandals, etc.) during user trials.
Parameter: The device should fit securely and function effectively with at least 90% of tested footwear styles.
