As stated in an article published in Evidence Technology Magazine, and written by Tom Adair, footwear impressions can tell us about both the criminal and the crime. He goes on to state that we may be able to determine the make and style of shoe, and even the identity of the shoe to the exclusion of all others in the world. In this course, the student will get hands-on training in the comparison of footwear impression evidence. Please note that this class is not a detection and recovery of footwear evidence class. This class is designed primarily to allow footwear examiners the opportunity to conduct countless practical exercises in the examination, comparison and identification of footwear
