According to <a href=\"http:\/\/footwearnews.com\/2017\/focus\/athletic-outdoor\/nike-3d-printing-sneakers-prodways-368238\/\">Footwear News<\/a>, Prodways&#8217; TPU outsoles, midsoles, and insoles will greatly decrease Nike&#8217;s production time, with the added benefit of creating more form-fitting, comfortable shoes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newbalance.com\">New Balance<\/a> introduced the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbalance.com\/article?id=4041\">Zante Generate<\/a>, featuring a midsole designed by <a href=\"http:\/\/n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com\">Nervous System<\/a> and 3D printed by 3D Systems, last year.

As with Feetz, users take photos of their feet with an app.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brunel.ac.uk\">Brunel University London<\/a> student Faisal Tayan is creating customizable shoes for refugees, 3DPrint.com <a href=\"https:\/\/3dprint.com\/178284\/3d-printed-expandable-shoes\/\">recently reported<\/a>. Rather than using a 3D printer to create bespoke shoes, Tayan used a 3D printed mechanism that lets his Shoe4All expand from size 6 to 11. For each pair he sells, Tayan plans to donate one pair of shoes to a person in need.<\/p>\n<p>So 3D printed footwear looks and sounds sexy, but is it really the wave of the future \u2014 or is it just hype? Shapeways\u2019 Lauren Slowik recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/archives\/30343-3d-printed-shoes-huh.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared her opinion<\/a>. I&#8217;m more optimistic than Lauren, and tend to think that 3D printing has a wide range of applications and will appeal to consumers\u2019 desires for better fit, comfort, and customization.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Are you wearing 3D printed shoes yet?
