Case study: custom-fit climbing shoes
SFT Climbing started as a dream to make climbing shoes comfortable.
40 prototypes and 20 hours of user testing later, Laura and SFT Climbing had a proven design and digital manufacturing system that reduced the manufacturing cost for custom-fit shoes by 45%.
SFT Climbing delivered 3 models of custom-fit shoes for 2+ years, and remains a knowledge resource for shoemakers world-wide.
