Which item in footwear evidence is described by Brand, Size, and Tread design?

• A. Tire
• B. Map
• C. Shoe print
• D. Glove print

Answer: (C)

Footwear evidence revolves around the imprint or the item that carries the sole’s features. A shoe print is described by brand, size, and tread design because the imprint captures the actual pattern of the sole (the tread), the relative size of the shoe (inferred from the print’s length and width), and any distinctive markings that help identify the manufacturer. These attributes are key for linking a suspect’s footwear to the mark left at a scene.

Tire, map, and glove print don’t fit this context. A tire is vehicle-related, a map is an unrelated document, and a glove print concerns handwear rather than the outsole pattern and size captured in a footwear imprint.
