In this paper we report on the results of a Kansei Engineering System study. A methodology for the application of Kansei Engineering at a European level has been developed and validated in the field of shoes design by means of the development of experimental studies in two different phases of the product design : the information phase in the earliest stages of the design process and the generation and evaluation phase corresponding to the latest stages of the process.
