1) Sally Smith conducted a study comparing the type and occurrence of footwear wear patterns and identifying characteristics between a controlled treadmill environment and an everyday outdoor environment over time. 2) The study found that more wear features were observed in the controlled treadmill environment, likely due to its less abrasive surface and lower overall percentage of wear compared to the outdoor environment. 3) Certain types of wear features, such as cuts and scratches, were more prevalent in the controlled environment, while features like foreign material and holes occurred more frequently in the outdoor environment. There was also a strong positive correlation between the number of features and the amount of time spent in both environments.
