Introduction

Along with the change of manufacturing technology, market demand and lifestyle as well as

the improvement of life quality, casual shoes have been popular in daily activities. However,

in the current footwear standards, there is no standard for casual shoes. Therefore, standard

for casual shoes is in urgent need to provide consumers with more suitable shoes in daily life.

Additionally, some of the materials and various chemicals are added in shoemaking process.

Some of these materials are limit substances. Therefore, foot health should not only be

emphasized on the shoes' physical performance, but also on the effects of the materials

exerting on foot and even body health. Therefore, this standard raises technical requirements

on the aspect of limited substances of casual shoes. This also reflects the integration of our

nation's shoemaking with international shoemaking.
