In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to explain how to order fit customizations for shoes and shoe lasts on 3DShoemaker.com. I’ll also cover how such customizations are made in the 3DShoemaker design software for the benefit of those using it. Prior to the industrial revolution, bespoke footwear was fairly common. […]

I recently came across this 3D printable foot measuring device similar to a Brannock device. Seeing as I’m in to all things 3D printing and footwear related, I figured I had to print one myself and try it out. In this 3DShoemaker post, I’ll give my thoughts on it. Having […]
This is just a quick update to show that leg sections are now available for some 3DShoemaker shoe lasts. They can be 3D printed, are available as physical samples, and also as fully parametric models in the 3DShoemaker plugin for Rhino3D. Leg sections aren’t typically necessary for making most boots, […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to explain how the newly available shoe last outlines can be used to help with online shoe sizing. This will be useful for both shoe businesses and individual shoemakers, including those 3D printing the entirety of the shoe. And for those using the 3DShoeamaker […]
In previous 3DShoemaker tutorials, I’ve explained how to 3D print and assemble a couple different kinds of shoe last joints using the models available on 3DShoemaker.com. This was handy for shoemakers that don’t necessarily want to get into computer aided design of shoe lasts but do happen to have access […]
In this 3DShoemaker update, I’m going to get into forefoot and hindfoot twists and posting of foot orthoses and footbeds. This will be applicable both to the individual 3D models ordered on 3DShoemaker.com and also to design work in the 3DShoemaker software. I’ll also get into how to make room […]
In this 3DShoemaker post I’m going to get into 3D printed mockup shoes, sometimes known as fitting models or trial shoes, and how they can save big on time, energy, and materials. This is particularly useful for custom shoe making but is also useful for other applications, including fully 3D […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’m going to introduce the Cyber Clog, my second fully customizable 3D printable shoe design. I’ll also get into variable infill densities. In an earlier post, I introduced the first 3D printed shoes I’ve developed that I actually really like wearing. The key was the degree […]
In this 3DShoemaker post, I’ll show you how 3D printable models can be used to manage leg length discrepancies. I’ll explain how to order models of shoes, shoe lasts, orthotic insoles, soles, and other components for this purpose. And if you stick around till the end, I’ll get into the […]
After a few attempts at 3D printed shoes, I’ve finally developed something I actually really like wearing. They are clogs, and I’m not talking about the kind that jam up your nozzle. I like them so much that I’ve made 3D models of them available for anyone to order on […]
