- •
Variables affecting the appearance of blood-based footwear marks are investigated.
- •
Specific combinations of footwear tread and blood dryness affect mark quality.

Results narrow possible explanations for a contentious bloodstain in a case example.
- •
Experimental studies are valuable for developing an evidence base for interpretation.
