Diversification of a footwear product, constructively designed in a basic model, can be assured by putting into practice several diversification criteria. With this respect, the paper presents the results of the research on the diversification of a footwear product by typification of component parts. Thus, starting from a leisure time model of men shoe with vamp and whole quarters, diversification was made by detailing the basic patterns of the uppers. The detailing of the basic drawing of the uppers was made so that the outer contour of the two parts (the vamp and quarter) remains unchanged even in the case of patterns consisting of several components. Also, the vamp-quarter merging line will keep its position on the shoe last, its length, and its configuration unchanged. Under these circumstances, by detailing the vamp and the quarter, several variants of these fragmented parts resulted, which are considered typified parts. The use of typified parts for uppers will ensure the diversification of the basic model. The analysis of the resulting model variants led to highlighting the influence of the number of component parts of the uppers and of the set area on the usage index of the leather surface and the specific consumption at cutting.
