I wouldn’t get it if it costs twice as much. If it’s cheaper? Of course. I don’t really care how something like a shoe looks like, it’s a very functional item.

Great video, thanks for your time and efforts in producing this video. I ambition other companies such as Adidas etc 3D print shoes for humanity to benefit/use in the near future. 🇺🇲🚀🤩😘

Interesting idea, but I think I’ll wait for the technology to be proven over a longer period of time. I don’t like to be an early adopter.

I am excited for shoes that actually fit our feet… I know that most big companies like Nike and Adidas that are designed way to narrow at the ends. Feet are more rectangular rather than triangles at the front, and I appreciate a company that designs shoes for feet. I do like the concept of barefoot shoes, where they are not overly supportive, but protect your feet from gravel or asphalt. Companies like Whitin on Amazon are one option.

I prefer to buy my shoes from Asian sweatshops. Produced by children
Just do it

$50 sure it’s worth a try. $190 for a plastic shoe – no thx.

I would totally do this!! I love my crocs, I think these would be just as fun!! I live, full-time, on a sailboat cruising the east coast of the USA. Plastic shoes are perfect for my lifestyle. 👍

Well then. 190 is quite expensive. Specifically because 190 is a huge amount unless they are using some specific high quality filament, and given that it took 25 days….I can’t see raw materials + manufacturing cost getting anywhere close to 190. However, tech that you can scan and generate a pattern you could feed into a normal 3d printer and print yourself using whatever filament that works for you *is* quite cool. In closing, I’m only interested in this because the more we get good quality but lower cost scanners, the better we can actually use 3d printing tech for printing at home.

I am 100% in, and support Zellerfeld. I have had so many patients that have congenital issues that cause them to have one foot smaller than the other and it’s always lifelong nightmare to find pairs of shoes. Problem solved with 3D printing..

He’s exaggerating a bit — it’s not the first of its kind. If you visit any Fleet Feet store, you’ll see the same type of foot scanner.

I think they look nice. I would prefer black.
If you want ugly shoes, then get Crocs.
