Testing ALL of the 3D Printed Shoes! 

So... Where can we get the STL?

Awesome

Nice feature Philippe! Doin' great!

Those shoes look awesome. One of these days I think I'll get a pair.

Hey I'm curious what software did you use to design these? Thanks.

Exactly and he didn't even show the socks underneath

Testing as in rating them

There's not testing man! This is just entertainment for the masses.

​@@augustopaixao8911 the video title literally starts with the word 'testing'

He is using TPU, bro. Just use TPU.

Totally agree. I was going to say the same thing. My local athletic shoe store actually does a full 3D scan of your feet to exact scale and they use that to properly fit shoes to you. They even send the completed 3D scan to you to see all the dimensions and such. Turns out that my feet are actually slightly different dimensions. They look the same to the naked eye, but the scanner picks up the exact dimensions. There's no reason, we couldn't then send these scans to the shoe manufacturer and have them create the shoe around our actual feet. That would be amazing!

An idea would be pressure scanning in addition to 3d scanning the top.

in the new balance stores they do that but they get as close as possible but will fully tailor a shoe to your foot if you custom order it in store but its not 3d printed which honestly is just cool

Zellerfeld does that

I think maybe just an insole would be sufficient

and the layer lines!

The shoes can breathe they have holes near the foot.

Aren't most modern shoes all synthetic anyways?

Have you ever swabbed a regular shoe and grown it in culture? I have and I don't imagine it can be much worse, so long as there is airflow

And you can print more when you get there lol

IMHO it is more of a filament issue than design. The TPU that we can typically print is still to stiff and hard to walk in all day. The Dutch gave up on wearing wooden shoe...lol.

@@Daves3DProjects Actually wooden clogs are fairly comfortable when they're made to your foot because all points of your sole is supported. And the wood will mould itself overtime through use, making it fit even better. The main reason they're not common is because custom handmade wooden shoes are really expensive compared to mass produced sneakers.

Marinating*

Zellerfeld shoes are very well ventilated, because they are printed with no walls and porous infill in the upper

@@JSZ69420 the shoes on those shoes will be in everyone's organs and bloodstream within a year as well as the soles would be so worn down that you'll need a new pair already so you can start the micro plastic factory all over again. I legitimately think EVA foam soles need to be banned.

​@@MeltyBubs that's true of basically all shoes containing rubber, but the biggest source of microplastics is car tires. The best way to reduce microplastics in the environment is to convince as many people and politicians as possible that we need to build trains and bike lanes and build mixed use cities so people can walk to where they need to go

@@thedudeamongmengs2051 after looking it up I do not agree, because the information is boggled. Rubber is not a plastic. It is a polymer and an elastimer (sp?) but is not a plastic. But after searching do car tires produce micro plastics and stuff like that it says the rubber particles that come from car tires are considered micro plastics only because of size and composition. So, I do not agree that rubber is a micro plastic because it isn't plastic. They can call it a micro polymer if they want, lol. Regardless, a car tire lasts infinitely longer than any EVA foam sole which if your actually a runner can be worn through within a few months compared to a regular pair of shoes with RUBBER soles which will last many many years.

yeah they do

Ugly as hell. Should be given away with any purchase of a cybertruck. :-D

Basically they are ice boots

Minecraft reference. 👍

Count yourself lucky for being able to walk at all when gout is active. I can't.

Mine (fused) last about as long as classic converse's

They are awesome !

I tried the trail shoes (Ultras) and they are basically socks with a small pad underneath. Horrible design, do not get those. Twisted my ankle while doing a hiking test.

That's because they aren't really for running, they are 'just' for looking dang cool! 🙃

Needs also modeling based on pressure maps.

Zellerfeld does that with their shoes. These were just samples to play with

Working on it!

Yeah, waterproof and breathability don’t mix well with plastic material only

Mostly tpu and tpe. But with the new foaming flexibles, things will get really interesting!

There's a guy who's done well over a million steps in them already, works as a warehouse picker I think

Zellerfeld did it first !

@@JSZ69420 Your not wrong but competition is always good.

Yeah, shoes are a scam and crap across the board these days. Most aren't even available in size 17-18 and if they are they're shaped all wrong, narrow toeboxes and such, and they usually don't last past a week. A few days in and the midsole just collapses to mush, the shoe feels like a lumpy slipper and my back and knees hurt from walking crooked. Bruh, shoes used to be good, but fashion over function and planned obsolesence made them shit aside from 'looking good', which i both don't really care about AND usually consider ugly or gaudy and cringe. Airwalks were the worst, i used to wear OG Airwalks and Vision Street Wear back in the day and both were solid and would last. It took skating big roof gaps to collapse the soles. Now Airwalks won't last a single park session, i blew through two pairs of Airwalks in a day and was skating barefoot by sunset. I wear pretty much only modded DC Courts these days, only shoe with a decent shape and big toebox i can find, even other DC models don't fit right. To keep them from collapsing i strip the guts out and bed the midsole airgaps with shoe goo, about 1.5 tubes per shoe and make the entire midsole solid. I also reinforced the inside seams with a layer and so far it's lasted about two months with no signs of collapsing. I just don't understand why they can't make a shoe like that from the factory, even as a paid upgrade. It costs me like an extra $30 of shoe goo and a few days to cure, i'd gladly pay an extra $40 or so for a legit solid shoe i don't have to disassemble and rebuild. But like FFS if you're selling a size 18 shoe you'd think they'd make it with a midsole that can bear the weight and forces of someone with size 18 feet. I'm not a 90lb wealking on waterskis, if i'm fasting and down to skin and bones i'm still around 220lb naked and more with all my gear and backpack and whanot. I heard Supras have a solid urethane midsole, i've always wanted some so bad but they don't make anything bigger than 14 IIRC. I originally got into 3d printing with the intention to make my own shoes back in around 2012-2013, i wanted to make molds so i can pour my own urethane midsole parts from quality materials instead of crap like EVA and mushy weak rubber and roll my own uppers, but i got distracted by all the other cool things it can do. Lately though i've been heavily into 3d printed moldmaking and have a lot of knowledge and experience that will help me out, so they might just be coming soon. But as for the directly 3d printed shoes, they all look like disposable gimmick fake swap meet louie yeezies, and yeezies are just glorified atrocious looking crocs in the first place. But then again that's pretty much all modern shoes. They just don't make 'em like they used to and nobody seems to remember back when they weren't all single use disposable fast fashion trash.

Shoes should last much longer than a year. That's so much waste.

I'm still not clear on the advantages of the 3d printed parts.

​@@harmless6813 You're on to something. In the case of Adidas the 3d printing was to create a complex pattern of gaps in the sole that made it springy. Looks like they printed that with rubber resin, which is likely way out of reach of most of us. If I were making my own shoe, I wouldn't take that route at all. I'd design a sole for my foot, add the traction pattern I want, then FDM print a sacrificial negative of it, and use it to cast a rubber positive. Voila - now I have a _real_ sole, one that is durable and flexible. Then I'd 3d print a jig to help me assemble an upper around, also shaped for my foot, and around that jig sew an actual upper out of nylon fabric, once again, like a _real_ shoe. Then glue the upper to the sole using whatever black magic glue sneaker makers use. This sounds like way more work than just sending a shoe STL to a printer, but I get a _real_ shoe out of it, and my 3d printer would help a huge part of the way. Shoe's are not made from a single thing, they're complex devices that have to be comfortable, durable and breathable. FWIW I use 3d printing to make design concepts for clients - clients want concepts in epoxy, silicon, cement, plaster etc, but 3d printing makes it so much easier to shape those media, and all my clients love how the 3d printing is helping them zero in on manufacturing questions from the very start of the process.

Rubber clothes exist. It's called a hazmat suit.

These are shoes available to purchase from companies - not stuff I 3d printed myself. SHOULD I PRINT CROCS?

Welcome!

@@3DPrintingNerd Joel and David I have been eyeing the Zellerfelds for a while now. I just did the custom fitting online. I hope they feel well and I get them in time for Rapid. See you at 3DCERAM.

Plant based 3D printed material like PLA?
