ABSTRACT
Two-Dimensional Impressions Two-dimensional impressions are those made on nongiving surfaces, such as tile, linoleum, or wood flooring, and also include those made on paper, plastics, doors, carpet, clothing, broken glass, countertops, etc. Any surface that can be stepped on or kicked by an item of footwear is capable of retaining a footwear impression. These impressions vary considerably because of the many combinations of dusts, dirt, soil residues, grime, oily materials, or blood acquired on the shoe’s sole, making the methods of recovering and enhancing those impressions more numerous and complex.
