The design and pattern of the treads on footwear play a crucial role in evaluating the risk of slipping, particularly when surfaces are compromised by pollutants such as water or oil [1–4]. According to an earlier research by Beschorner et al. (Beschorner et al. in J Biomech 47:458–463, Jan. 2014), extreme sliding circumstances were caused by high fluid pressures caused by the treads’ inability to discharge extra fluid during slipping. There has been a dearth of research into using computer models to predict how various shoe outsole shapes function on floors with varying degrees of roughness (Moghaddam et al. in J Biomech 66:145–152, Jan. 2018;Moghaddam et al. in Wear 422–423:235–241, Mar. 2019;). To the best of our knowledge, however, no computational framework has been created to date to predict the drainage capabilities of the footwear under fluidic sliding situations. Further research is necessary to determine how well tread channels in commercially available footwear drain excess fluid during sliding.
