Wiivv is changing the way footwear is designed, manufactured and produced… with your smartphone.
Yes, you can now take your phone, create a scan of your foot and get custom made sandals perfectly suited to your arches and angles, no matter how big, small, flat or wide! Wiivv’s new custom sandals use digital mapping and advanced 3D printing technology to produce super comfortable sandals from their factory in San Diego. This is made possible by the Wiivv’s award-winning foot capture app. Scan, send then wait for the company to print and deliver your one-of-kind fit.
The sandals feature adjustable and interchangeable straps in addition to a myriad of biomechanical design features that not only guarantee comfort, but also promise to relieve joint discomfort, foot fatigue and even plantar fasciitis… All without compromising style!
Cheap, mass-produced goods are quickly being recognized as inferior to their locally made counterparts, but “artisan” and “locally made” typically double as warnings for unaffordable price points. Fortunately, companies like Wiivv hint at a future where quality won’t be at odds with affordability:
“This isn’t just an innovation in footwear. It’s a revolution in an industry plagued by mass-produced products, rigid offshore supply chains, and the inability to capitalize on the full potential of 3D printing. Instead, we are talking about one-off custom products at scale and manufactured locally. ”
You can order your pair of custom-made Wiivv’s by contributing to their Kickstarter campaign, which has already raised over $100,000 in the last week.
