Coming from a ski/footwear background, I know of a few companies that use 3D scans for bootfitting or making custom insoles, such as Bootlabs here in BC. I can see a lot of potential for making a climbing shoe with a real "second skin" type of fit using tech like this. Please keep uploading videos about this project so that some brand will notice, I selfishly would like to have a pair of these on my own feet someday!
Plasti-Dip is a terrible idea. A high durometer RTV or heat-vulcanized synthetic rubber would work. My favorite climbing shoe, way back in the olden days, was a worn-out pair of original Nike Waffle Trainers. You might try using RTV to resole your broken-in climbing shoes yourself. 3D print a mold and glue the results using contact cement, or mold the silicone directly on the shoe, after a little prep of the existing sole. I appreciate your creativity.
Neat! There is a lot to shoes we never consider, when we just use them in our daily lives, such as different layers with different funtions, support structures, ergonomics, breathability and so on. However, making a custom fit version in high numbers is obviously not possible without significantly increasing the cost, so making those yourself gives you many new possibilities. It's a deep rabbit hole. You could start adding multiple layers, optimize comfort, consider toe compression for slopers and so on. But as someone who needs to go buy new shoes next week, I can already see a lot of value in your approach and even more potential.
This is a cool idea but tbh i climb loads of stuff with literal holes in my shoes and they’re totally fine, don’t worry too much about the rubber wearing and resoling especially if you’re buying cheaper shoes. I have a pair with a proper edge but with good footwork and not walking around in them the edge lasts much longer than the breaking-in period. Also, “basically disposable shoe” is a pretty bad approach to shoes since so many climbers are concerned with the environment. Hell, there are discussions about whether we should be using plastic for climbing holds at all!
@@matejnovosad9152yeah especially for slabs ot makes a huge difference how good the edge of your shoes is. Like it is probably still possible to balance across some small ass holds, but a good fitting shoe without holes and a good edge will definitely make it much easier no matter how skilled you are.
This is spectacular! I just started climbing about a month ago, and I bought my first pair of shoes 2 days ago. They hurt my feet SO bad, and I already have blisters on my toes. The shoes fit perfectly in the store, even tried them on their climbing wall, but when I use them in a session, I can barely wear them for more than a minute without excruciating pain. I definitely want to try printing my own shoes, and I'd love to see the rest of your iterations. Super neat idea man :)
If you can't wear them for longer than 1 min without pain then the shoe is too small. I've been climbing for 10 years and I can easily wear my shoes for an hour without any crucial pain. Just my two cents...
Cool concept dude! I’m also working on an alternative climbing shoe (more of a barefoot climbing sock) and I’ve trialed plasti-dip before. In terms of friction, it wasn’t the worst that I tried but still wasn’t great but the main reason I stopped using it was because it wasn’t very durable and wore away quickly. Regardless, I’m curious to know what you try next so I’ll be looking forward to the next update!
Cool video! However one point. In my experience, shoes shouldn't hurt much at the beginning, and should be pretty worn in after around the 4th session, and fully worn in after the 10th at least. If you are having another experience, you are perhaps buying too small shoes, and suffering for no reason (other than pushing you to experiment with 3DP climbing shoes, which is pretty rad tbf!)
This was a fun watch! Hope to see your future iterations! Also super cool seeing my local crag and DRG in this video, wasn't expecting to see places I was familiar with on a random YT recommended video lol
I got myself a pair of the la sportiva geniuses. They have their so called "no edge technoligy", essentially the shoe doesn't have a sharp edge and is designed around perfectly fitting your toes into the round mold of the shoe, allowing your toes to be as close to the foothold as possible while also allowing morr control of the angle you want your feet to be at. It's really painfull for very small footholds but very nice for slab and nice in general for everything else. The fact that the rubber is designed to be round also makes the wear and tear less impactful, as the spacing between foot and wall is still prettymuch the same everywhere as you don't have any inconsistant rubber thicknesses if that makes sense. I actually also don't really mind climbing shoes very much. Yes, it can hurt like hell for two to three weeks and takes around 1 to 3 months to properly break your shoes in but that time also allows you to be more mindful of your footwork and only makes the improved climbing later on more satisfying. And when it's not AS painful anymore i actually don't mind cramming my foot into my shoes, it helps me with my mindset. That said, your idea has a lot of potential and I'm looking forward to seeing your newer, improved designs.
:)))) Then you'll have to make rubber for the thumb and heel hook. Then you'll have to deal with wear and tear and comfort, ventilation. And in the end, they'll be more expensive than the originals from good brands, not to mention cheaper options.
A major component to ahoe technogoly in the last decade or so has been tension straps around the arch area of the shoe to keep it from losing rigidity over time. It seems like that wouls be even more important with a plastic shoe. Perhaps you could try a very high strength elastic band stretched tightly and fixed to the shoe with cintact cement.
hey how are you? Your video was quite entertaining, I thought it was one of several companies making lasts (using fabrics, etc.) for custom (scanned) feet. I think it is nice you have these ideas, but from a climbing coach perspective I would highly recommend you to just get some comfortable entry level shoes that allow you to feel what you are standing on. Without looking, try to feel in which part of a hold your big toe is standing , this will give you more information than downsizing a lot and not being able to stand on your toes. Downsizing like crazy will become a thing of the past now that Ondra and others are saying themselves that they are not doing it so much anymore.
Im thinking that if the 3d printed plastic ever gets irritable (does look quite uncomfortable) you could try making a mold where you can pour some kind of rubber material down. I feel like that would make it 100x comfier.
Cool video! This might be an interesting training implement: a shoe with only rubber on the toe section, forcing new climbers to climb on their toes instead of their arches.
Does that really matter? Every new climber I've seen has been perfectly fine climbing on their toes simply after being told that that's the best way. I don't see the point in a training implement that becomes obsolete after less than one practice session.
DRG, thats a nice gym, Interesting to see how the shoes would perform edging on tahoe granite or smthing aswell! Super cool! Keep the designing going!!
I’ve been climbing indoors and outdoors for like 15 years. If the rubber is going that fast you are dragging your toes… my skwamas lasted 3 years of climbing multiple times a week indoors and outdoor multipitching. If they hurt that bad they are too small, try on 10+ different shoes or whatever it takes until you don’t a pair that are tight and not painful. Every foot is different, a shoe that works for me might be excruciating for someone else with the same “size” foot.
@@definitelynotclickbait8283no way does this person climb multiple times a week and has shoes last them more than a year. I climb extremely regularly (3-4 times per week) and I go through a pair in 2-3 months so probably about a similar rate to you.
yeah... 3 years ain't happening with actually climbing multiple days a week. I have very good footwork, but I climb super frequently and last like 6 months. Which with dragos is actually really solid. Even with skwamas ain't no way I'm making it past 8-10 months, and that's severely pushing it
@@tama-4225 I run a climbing club with weekly outdoor climbs, work in a climbing gym which requires setting and climbing every week, teach outdoor climbing, lead solo weekly, and do probably 10 climbing trips per year. Just got back from 8 days of multipitching and leaving for another 5 day trip next week. My TC Pros last usually 2 years, my skwamas actual had to scum patch wear out before the bottom. Precise foot placements, don’t move a weighted foot, don’t drag your toes, don’t put sweaty shoes in the bag.
when you do a scan, you could try to get your toes to stay in the squished, pointed position that climbing shoes force your toes into. might help you get better toe power. could use something like a rubber band or latex sleeve (condom would probably work lol) to keep the definition of the scan true to the rest of your foot.
I had this idea a few months back and you SO beat me to the punch. Any chance you'd like to connect and chat about how you made the shoes? Id like to give this a try as well!
First off cool video! Reminds me of my own personal project/rabbit hole that I finished up last week. TLDR: scan foot, 3d print foot, heat and steam shoe, put foot in shoe. Now shoe is perfectly broken in. Inspired by climbingstuffs video on breaking in climbing shoes with a plaster foot mold I sought out to break in climbing shoes with a reusable 3s printed last. I scanned my feet with my phones camera and used realityscan photogrammetry to stitch the model together. A little clean up in meshmixer and off to the printer to print in PETG. With a hairdryer and a steamer I forced the 3d printed foot last into the new shoes to break them in and left them for a day. I can say that it turned out a overwhelming success. I even tried with a cheap pair of climbx shoes which resulted an even more high comfy performance fit than my dragos 😂 (except for the shit tier rubber compound but that can be fixed by a resole). If cost, fit, and performance are what you are looking for I would definitely give this a try as your 3d scanner will definitely be more accurate than my phone photogrammetry! Another thing that could be interesting is using that same 3d printed last to resole your own climbing shoes as you already have sourced the climbing rubber.
A foot being compressed in a well fitting shoe doesn't have the same shape as a bare foot. I feel like it would be better to make a compression mold, then 3d scan that. That way the foot is already in its most performant shape.
Making perfectly smooth and round arcs around an object isn't really important for getting good photogrammetry scans, the algorithm solves for position of the camera relative to the object anyway. If your camera travels in a wavy arc the software will figure out that wavy arc and it doesn't really matter. Having good quality photos (no motion blur and in focus), good lighting (as even and soft as possible), good surface texture (having a lot of distinct features that can be seen from multiple angles, lack of specular reflection), and good camera coverage (capturing all features from number of different angles) are the important scanning parameters. These scanning tables are great for the convenience of automation and ensuring that you get a lot of photos from a lot of angles, but the perfect circularity of the arc is mostly incidental.
Looks neat, though I wonder if you're not losing out on a lot of the extra foot strength gained from compressing your foot like climbing shoes do - after all, that's the reason why they're tight in the first place. Also, if you're experiencing as much pain as you're describing it sounds like you're either not using the right shoe for your foot shape, or downsizing too aggressively. Still, designs like this are pretty interesting, even if the idea of a more disposable shoe is definitely not a "benefit" one ought to be looking for. The ability to resole a shoe is a pure positive, after all. But more custom fit shoes, that squeeze the right places in the right way, based on scans? Yes please.
They could also just downsize the model, it can be done in any direction or all of them, like just making the whole model smaller or just making the shoe shorter so it compresses in on your toes.
@@rustyanvile That's somewhat true, but the foot also changes its shape when compressed, so there's no real reason to think that would fit much better than an off-the-shelf shoe at that point. For a perfect fit you'd most likely need to tape or wrap the foot into a desired shape before scanning, which definitely wouldn't be easy but it would give the best results.
yooo diablo rock is my home gym too, iv been trying that v5 next to the v3 over hang u did but i cant get the move where u reach for the very last big pink hold do u any tips maybe?
This is so incredibly RAD!!! I had this exact idea about 2 months ago. Super happy with your results. I would be curious, do you think could try scanning your foot with an app like KIRI, that may be able to bring down cost of scanning (i.e. no cost for the scanner)
I've been trying with Bambu's TPU HF recently and while I got a fair but of stringing and some under-extrusion out of the box once I dialed it in it prints super clean on my X1C.
hey man, i'm doing a uni assignment on climbing shoes and had a bunch of similar ideas, is there any way I might be able to direct message you about some ideas? love your video, keen to see you evolve this idea
Great video! That's such a cool idea. I was wondering, how did you keep your foot centered ? The rotating arms don't hit you while spinning ? Also what 3D printer did you use ?
Hey you're back! Do you have another channel on Odysee or anywhere? I'm still curious what the FN was about in your last video... Please don't leave us hanging!
the shoes are supposed to squish your feet together if they dont it wont work well and the rubber wears down because of how it works so just get the shoes repaired and wear ur shoes
@@HumphreyWittingtonsworthIV I have a good guess at what your plan is: It's based on the concept of the accelerating gun (JR Haskell and Storrs Lyman) which we saw in use with the V-3 canon. As the pressure passed through each chamber a valve is released where more air is pressurized. Accumulating into potentially endless acceleration given enough barrel lenght and chambers.
What software did you use to design the shoe? I've been having some pain in my big toe, so i was planning of creating a shoe with slightly more space for my big toe (for either padding or just generally less tight fit in this one spot)
Cool idea! Though I can climb the boulders you showed in flip flops, so keep testing it! It looks like you're in the bay area and climb at dogpatch. I visited there so I can make some suggestions: Film the traverse-y no hands blue v3 by the wave. Film the v4 and v6 slabs by the back downclimb area. There's also a slab v5, v6 and v7 on the wave to the right of the v3. There's also a v10 that requires standing on really small feet but it might be a bit tough for you~
if you are going to sacrifice comfort, usability, and no heel, and since u already shopped online, there are tons of shoes on ebay for 20-40$ that are almost new or used very few times, i recommend that over sacrificing ur feet. that is what i do, cheap shoes for practice and warm up, high end shoes for when i want to try hard and perform/comps. this way i save up the good rubber on the expensive shoes, make the 2 pair last me a year of 4-5 times bouldering a week.
@@kekdubs That's a shame, they were super interesting and innovative, I found it shared around the gun community with alot of praise. Any idea why they were unlisted?
Feel like i'm watching the begining of a startup

Interesting, but. why u use scaning than making some kind of mold via silicon or epoxy?
Hate to be weird, but where is that video of the lathe/rotational style 3d printer?? I was gonna try to build one. I hope you are doing well.
can I try a pair I can meet you at drg
Few seconds into the vid: "I've been getting into climbing" says our guy all shredded now... Yeah we can tell.
BUT
...
When airgun video
I've got the materials for the airgun, and never got to it, ahhhhhh one day when I get more time
@@HumphreyWittingtonsworthIV I have a good guess at what your plan is:
It's based on the concept of the accelerating gun (JR Haskell and Storrs Lyman) which we saw in use with the V-3 canon.
As the pressure passed through each chamber a valve is released where more air is pressurized. Accumulating into potentially endless acceleration given enough barrel lenght and chambers.
Yoooo saw this on Reddit
What happened to your gun videos?
I wanna buy some
Dope concept man!
you should learn how to turn the 3d print into a mould and then sew a shoe around it
What software did you use to design the shoe? I've been having some pain in my big toe, so i was planning of creating a shoe with slightly more space for my big toe (for either padding or just generally less tight fit in this one spot)
my goat
Where can I get one? 🤣
This is super cool!
LETS GOOOOO YOURE BACK!!!
Cool idea! Though I can climb the boulders you showed in flip flops, so keep testing it! It looks like you're in the bay area and climb at dogpatch. I visited there so I can make some suggestions:
Film the traverse-y no hands blue v3 by the wave. Film the v4 and v6 slabs by the back downclimb area. There's also a slab v5, v6 and v7 on the wave to the right of the v3. There's also a v10 that requires standing on really small feet but it might be a bit tough for you~
Eres mi inspiración para vivir. ❤
if you are going to sacrifice comfort, usability, and no heel, and since u already shopped online, there are tons of shoes on ebay for 20-40$ that are almost new or used very few times, i recommend that over sacrificing ur feet. that is what i do, cheap shoes for practice and warm up, high end shoes for when i want to try hard and perform/comps. this way i save up the good rubber on the expensive shoes, make the 2 pair last me a year of 4-5 times bouldering a week.
commenting for updates
yea dude
awesome
Cheers.
New video let’s go
Did you make a video on gun you made? Or am I imagining that
Yeah they're unlisted now
@@kekdubs That's a shame, they were super interesting and innovative, I found it shared around the gun community with alot of praise. Any idea why they were unlisted?
Damn, now I gotta find them.
Some guy went on a whole crazy rant reporting my videos and it was insanely uncomfortable
So frustrating for real
honestly, get some vibram rubber and you have really good shoes for 50 bucks. dont cheap out ion the soles.
Neat
Wow based af
I gave up on climbing shoes and just used my regular boots.
please don't do that in the gym though
Agreed please don't do that
😮Thief!!!!! €150+ for shoes 👎👎👎👎 I've been a semi-professional climber for 20 years
