  2. Shoeprints The physical contact between the shoe and the surface results in a transfer of the individual characteristics of the shoe. Shoes prints are often used to prove that suspect was present at a crime scene.

  3. 3-dimensional impressions Footwear impressions are pressed into a soft surface such as mud. The impression is influenced by the weight of the person and the type of surface.
