The large progress of computer science has directed to the use and implementation of software tools that implicate new possibilities of designing, modelling, and analysis of objects. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is used in any field of activity as a tool for engineering analysis in order to predict the behaviour of assemblies that could be subjected to almost all physical phenomena. The footwear sector has not become an exception in this trend, as this powerful tool is useful in research, footwear developing and manufacturing. The goal of this paper is to make a brief overview of what has been done in footwear industry in sense of entire footwear product analysis using FEA tools.
