Among various types of biometrics the human gait recognition seems to be one of the most intriguing. However, one of the greatest problems within this field of biometrics is the change in gait caused by footwear. A change of shoes results in a significant lowering of accuracy in recognition of people. The following work presents a method which uses data gathered by two sensors: force plates and Microsoft Kinect v2 to reduce this problem. Microsoft Kinect is utilized to measure the body height of a person which allows the reduction of the set of recognized people only to those whose height is similar to that which has been measured. The entire process is preceded by identifying the type of footwear which the person is wearing. The research was conducted on data obtained from 99 people (more than 3400 strides) and the proposed method allowed us to reach a Correct Classification Rate (CCR) greater than 88% which, in comparison to earlier methods reaching CCR\u2019s of &lt;80%, is a significant improvement. The work presents advantages as well as limitations of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18051639","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,22]],"date-time":"2018-05-22T04:34:03Z","timestamp":1526963643000},"page":"1639","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Recognition of a Person Wearing Sport Shoes or High Heels through Gait Using Two Types of Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Marcin","family":"Derlatka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Bialystok University of Technology, 15-351 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariusz","family":"Bogdan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Automatic Control and Robotics of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Bialystok University of Technology, 15-351 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"882","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1556-4029.2011.01793.x","article-title":"On using gait in forensic biometrics","volume":"56","author":"Bouchrika","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
