# Customized 3D-Printed Shoes Feetz Shoes Uses and App 3D Printing to Make Custom Shoes By Ell Smith | Published 2017-06-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feetz-shoes References: [producthunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/feetz-shoes) & [feetz](https://www.feetz.com/howItWorks) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flipflops), made that a reality. Consumers are invited to download the Feetz app, and to take [three photos of each foot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-foot-scanner), which will later be used to create a [personalized mold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobarefoot-vivobiome-tabi-gen-01-sandal). 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customized 3d-printed Fashion:** The use of 3D printing in fashion and accessories allows for endless customization opportunities. - **Personalization Through Mobile Apps:** Mobile apps that allow for user input can facilitate personalized experiences in a multitude of industries. - **Direct-to-consumer Retail:** By bypassing traditional retailers, companies like Feetz are able to offer unique and personalized products directly to consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion industry can benefit from the use of 3D printing and mobile apps to offer customized clothing and accessories. - **Footwear and Shoe Retail:** The use of 3D printing and direct-to-consumer models can disrupt the traditional footwear retail industry and offer personalized products to customers. - **Health and Wellness:** The ability to create customized footwear can benefit individuals with specific foot conditions or injuries, and improve overall foot health. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scan-to-Print Custom Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vivobiome.md) - [Personalized Footwear Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asics-personalization-studio.md) - [AI-Powered Shoe Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aetrex.md) - [Open 3D Printing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zellerfeld-1.md) - [Custom 3D-Printed Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sean-wotherspoon-x-zellerfeld.md) - [Shoe Retailer AI Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superstep.md) - [Virtual Footwear Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/try-on-tech.md) - [Gamified AR Footwear Fittings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tootsie-augmented-reality.md) - [3d-Printed Collab Flip Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flipflops.md)
