2024 PUMRJ Study — Verified Data

The Numbers Don't Lie.

01 / 03

Derived from 100,000 3D scans of Indian feet. Largest morphological dataset of Indian foot geometry ever compiled.

0%
Forefoot Pressure Reduction

Foreign lasts increase peak forefoot plantar pressure by 22%. Bha Last eliminates this overload entirely across the metatarsal zone.

0%
Gait Stability Improvement

Measured across 240 gait trials at controlled pace. Medial arch alignment corrects valgus load through the triceps surae chain.
