Footwear Impressions

Every criminal must enter and exit a crime scene.  Unless he or she walks on their hands, there should be evidence of what shoes they wore.

Shoe Prints, foot wear impressions and out-sole designs are one of the least collected evidence at crime scenes.  This evidence can potentially place a party at the scene of a crime.

The examination of imperfections or defects in the out sole design can lead to the positive identification of a particular shoe. 

The examination of the crime scene for outsole designs or footwear impressions is possibly the most frequently omitted process conducted during the crime scene investigation.

The quality of any footwear examination is dependant on the quality of photographs taken from the scene or the evidence bearing the question print.  For the proper means of documenting footwear evidence, please contact FC.
