Feetz shoes reject the one shoe size fits all mentality, and want to fuse fashion with technology to ensure everyone can find the perfect pair of shoes.
Looking for a specific pair of kicks to match an already planned outfit can be a difficult feat -- the colors aren't right, the sole is too slim, or your size isn't available. Feetz imagined a world in which shoes could be customized just as simply as your coffee order, and with the help of 3D printing technology, made that a reality.
Consumers are invited to download the Feetz app, and to take three photos of each foot, which will later be used to create a personalized mold. Users then select from a variety of colors, sizes, shapes and fits, creating a shoe that's as perfect and personal as their morning coffee.
