3D-Printed Footwear

Tech expert Daniel Burrus wrote in 2014 about 3D printing shoes as an “enticing” idea for a few reasons.

One, the current shoe-sizing system does not account for the width of feet. Shoe sizes such as 6 or 8.5 refer only to length, so people with wider or narrower feet than what is considered by the industry to be standard have a hard time finding shoes that fit well. Current shoe sizing also makes both shoes in a pair identical in size and shape, but few people have feet that are perfect mirror images of each other. If all shoes were 3D printed, photographs would be taken of a customer’s feet, and a 3D image would be created from those photographs, which would be adjusted with further data about the customer’s height, weight, and activities while wearing the shoes.
