Over 400 Filipinos across the country have undergone actual foot sizing and comprehensive foot measurements through SizePH, a technology-driven initiative spearheaded by the Department of Science and Technology - Philippine Textile Research Institute (DOST-PTRI). SizePH aims to provide Filipinos with more accurate and accessible footwear information by measuring individual foot dimensions and helping consumers determine the footwear best suited to their needs, not only the length of the foot but also its width, shape, and other anatomical characteristics.
The data-gathering initiative began on 13 July 2026, and has so far recorded measurements from 238 Filipino women and 139 Filipino men across the country.
The technology was also featured at the first-ever Global Textile Congress and Philippine Textile Congress 2026, held at the University of the Philippines Diliman. Participants received free 3D foot scans and detailed measurement information, including foot length, width, instep, arch height, and girth.
The initiative puts Filipino foot measurements at the center of local footwear innovation, supporting the industry in developing products that respond to the actual needs of Filipino consumers while promoting greater comfort, mobility, and injury prevention with every step.
