Change of footwear insulation at various sweating rates
Moisture inside the footwear can considerably affect the thermal insulation. In this study with a thermal foot model there was simulated three sweat rates (3, 5 and 10 g/h). Five types of footwear with various insulation levels (dry insulation from 0.19 to 0.50 m2•K/W) were tested. The footwear insulation reduction was calculated for 1.5 hour period. The reduction in insulation was related to swea
