I personally love that you have been focusing more on 3D printed shoes. There are so many shoe channels and the 3D prints really makes your stand out and for that fact I have just subscribed.
What if someone built a 3D printed Jordan 1, but instead of one single piece that’s pretty much unwearable, each part of the actual shoe is 3D printed and assembled
@J Not necessarily. There’s a lot of ways to reinforce them. It’s not that the materials are weaker. The infill% and pattern is going to directly affect the way the sole behaves. If you did 100% infill of TPU for example it’s essentially a solid block of rubber. There’s also dual extrusion printers that can print multiple materials at the same time. So you you could do a nylon-CF shim inside of the TPU sole for reinforcement, and energy return. It will print the shim inside the sole as the sole is being printed around it.
@J I see what you’re getting at. It would definitely have to be done correctly. There’s a lot of engineering and design you’d have to put into it to get a good result. Just printing straight off model isn’t gonna get the job done. It could resemble a regular shoe in the end, but to get there isn’t a straight path.
I'm someone who both has large feet (15) and also has some medical issues with swelling, so it has been basically impossible for me to find shoes that fit comfortably, so I am incredibly interested in the tech behind custom printed shoes
You should maybe try barefoot shoes they are wide. of course there is that you have medical issues with your foot so maybe they aren't best for that since they don't have any support. This is just a suggestion I don't know how bad your feet are and barefoot shoes aren't maybe for that.
These are super cool, tons of possibilities. Since they already have a scan of your foot you can easily get new designs and colors made on demand if the brands were really open to it. I do wonder about the longevity of them though, how long would this, presumably, more fragile shoe last when compared to a traditional runner?
I applied for the Zellerfeld beta program after stumbling upon this video... Got accepted the same day! My Heron Prestons x Zellerfled 3-D Printed shoes are otw!
I would absolutely try them. It’s great you said breathable, however for those that live in areas where it can get to 116°F + breathability becomes a very big question. Also with high temperature areas how well will the resin print hold up,, will stay the same or become melt a little or soften. The scan of your foot provide an absolute perfect fit - but in that note - I noticed the included socks are thin like some dress socks- so would athletic socks from Nike, Puma, Under Armour, Reebok etc. be too tight to wear with them. I really like the design of them and as resin printing advances they will be able to make shoes with a mixed color palette...
I love 3D printing, and it's growing in concept and scope. Although I truly believe the future of footwear should be looking in the past. Handmade, natural materials, and repairable. Especially at the price points some sneakers go for.
I think it's a fantastic route that is being taken, for so long there have been so many barriers into certain areas of design like footwear and this really opens up that industry to some fantastic creative designers that may never have had the platform to realise their designs
Kinda intrigued, however I’m curious as to the degree of breathability the shoe provides for wearing it long periods of time. Other than that I think this is amazing and as always Mr. Fowler, I thank you for enlightening me 😁
In the summer your feet would boil in it. They should have also add linen and insole, it would make them a proper shoes. Still impressive, dont get me wrong, i see huge potential if the people print them for themselves, this way its way too expensive, there are much better options for that amount of money.
i 3d printed a shoe with built in toe box to avoid lasting it and did some leather upper work Maybe a 3d printed sole with leather upper work can be something u can try.
The shoe kind of looks like its made from the same material as sports jerseys. Love this new idea and who knows maybe 3d printed shoes will become mainstream. Keep it up Seth so stoked for you to get 1 mil
It looks like there is a seam between the very bottom of the sole and the rest of the shoe, is the material itself a different hardness? It was definitely printed in multiple parts but its hard to tell visually if the material has different hardness or if it was printed in multiple parts so that there is something embedded. Obviously parts of their process probably aren't all public but if you print with a bunch of TPU you may have some shore hardness scales or just be able to tell with your finger if the top and bottom are the same. I imagine it would have to either be harder on the bottom or have an embedded harder piece of material.
This is why I love 3d printing. You can literally make anything that you can imagine. There’s something really satisfying watching objects appear from nothing
What’s interesting to me is manufacturing implications. If you can scale this process, it would probably be much faster than traditional shoe production. Also there would be way fewer people and waste involved in the process.
It won't ever be faster, since assembly lines are very efficient. but it would cut out the majority of human involvement, meaning less people in 3rd workd countries working to make them in sweat shops, which can be considered a good thing or a bad thing
I used to work in Solidworks in College designing keychains and shot glasses for my friends for their birthday.Las. Amazing to see how far everything has come!
I do a lot of wade fishing in the summer in New River located in Virginia and West Virginia. I used to always wear in an old pair of sneakers to Wade in but putting them on the following morning especially during chilly springtime temps and walking in them to the river wasn’t very enjoyable so when Crocks first came out that quickly became my fishing shoe. Being able to take a towel and dry them with a few wipes was much better! I generally wear the model of crocks with the strap that can be tightened. The water is swift so you need something that stays securely snug to foot. A pair of these (designed with some holes in them of course), look like they would be ideal. A Super soft outsole that would give a ton of cushion for stepping and standing on hard rock all day. Just curious as to how they would hold up using them for that application. I think they would be awesome to fish in and also as a “camp shoe”!
As someone that 3d prints as a business, I can easily say that 3d printed shoes will never be a thing. They're too time and cost prohibitive, just like recycled shoes
I'm very interested in the customizablity of something like this, especially with 3d scanner tech becoming more of a reality, the potential for a cheap easily made even homemade custom fit shoe is a real thing.... im looking at getting my first printer now, and this is making me want to measure my foot to compare print bed sizes.
I just recently started designing some sneakers in vr and I haven't found many people on RUclips discussing 3d printing sneakers....I would love to get a pair made from one on my designs but I new to this and don't know how practical they would be. But I like the content
Really cool shoes! Just got interested in sneakers and found your channel through it and I love watching all of you diffrent types of videos! But in all that watching, there‘s a question I wanted to ask, what are those awesome pants with that ankle rubber band things? I really want a pair of these! Greetings from Germany✌🏻
@SethFowler, just wondering what the non-slip properties of the shoes are like? I'm a chef who loves modern technology, and seriously considering trying some 3D printed shoes, but obviously, in a work environent like a kitchen, they must have good grip
what do you think of the shoe in terms of durability cause 350 dollars is steep but i feel like some people myself included would be interested if i could get my moneys worth
It's cool. You can see the structure and infill difference. It looks like some complicated g-code but you should be able to do that at home if you know how to edit g-code... I don't though :/ you should get those 3d scans though
I’m with you on the whole “wide look” with shoes. I love “shoe” AND “car” design, and since I love wide-track performance/off-roading (Wrangler) stance on automobiles, it’s only right I like it with shoes as well. Wide whips, wide kicks, wide chics! Let’s get it!
6 3D printers.. that's hilarious 😂😂 it really is an addiction :p You like "wide" shoes because that's how our feet are meant to be (though generally they're even wider than is readily available, but wide is still an improvement over "standard"), no idea why pointy shoes are seen as fashionable.. I honestly like the look of these shoes though, especially given the added utility, but I feel like black socks would be best with that bright orange to complete the whole prusa look SuperVinlin
Now that I am aware of your channel.. If you ever want to stress test your personally printed shoes.. I use the treadmill when ever I game. I use a fitbit on my ankle and everything. Could send all of the mileage and step numbers. 🍻 I go through shoes like crazy so having something else to walk in, in exchange for data would be kind to my wallet 😅
Would love if they made these in my size, as somebody with size 18 UK shoes I find it impossible to find specialist shoes, for example trail running. I'm very interested in the idea of bespoke shoes and it seems that 3d printing is the obvious answer considering the cost of tailor made shoes is in the thousands, and a dying art that's impossible to find - this would be a godsend to me.
Never heard of Zellerfeld but I did coincidentally search for Heron Preston to see if he was relevant the other day. I’m not a fan of the shoe, but I do like the way things are going.
I want to see the wear pattern on the sole of the shoe. If you wore it for a few days you'd see the effect on the shoe. That's the biggest issue I might have with a 3D printed shoe.
The designs are very beautiful. Being personalized is even better. but they are all one color. Almost all of the shoes produced are colored. I hate wearing one color shoes. Click on Co print

They should last as long as slides/ crocs
If its made from TPU it would outlast anything a traditional shoe is made from.

This 3d printed series is fire man. Love watching these!

I’m wondering how they could be customized. Can they be dyed the same way as leather shoes?
They could just be printed in a different color by request when online ordering if the company offers

Oh how I wish I had a disposable income for stuff like this, I've never wanted a pair of shoes more in my life 🤣
How breathable are they compared to canvas, mesh or primeknit?

hmm, so it's two pieces with some kind of pad/foam insert in the midsole?
They are printed in one go with different settings for different parts
this is the future for sure, thank you for such a great and enthusiastic review.
that desing is fire
very informative and it makes sense why you’re so excited, being a designer at your core.
thx Seth
Bro did you wash the socks?Cause new socks do tent to wear off a bit
I really want this shoe..Thank you for your review..I subbed up and liked!
I was luckily able to get a pair, super comfortable. I wear them all the time and get compliments on them
nice. Greetings from the farm!

Do you think they will be good workout shoes?
do they give you your STL for your foot? that might be worth paying money for..
How would they do going through the washer?
