Purpose and performance should always walk hand in hand. The Fitasy 3D-printed shoes delivered both. They carried the day during my TED Talk on flag football—comfortable, supportive, and sharp enough to match the moment.

What stands out isn’t just the innovative design, but how the product embodies the kind of intentional partnerships that make a difference. This isn’t footwear for show; it’s a statement piece with substance.

The vision fits seamlessly with the work through Vincent Country and Love Thy Neighbor—using every platform, even the shoes on our feet, to reinforce a message of community and purpose.

The Stride is honestly one of the most comfortable pairs I’ve worn.

It’s super light on the feet, and what I really like is how versatile it is — perfect for the gym, but also stylish enough to wear with a suit or smart outfit. It bridges that gap between comfort and
elegance really well.

The Fitasy Stride is a shoe that
smashes shock — they have great shock absorption.  

Proper arch support with no blisters with or without socks.  

They are not clunky — You feel feel the ground. 

With one unique material combined with excellent ventilation, they are quick to dry and offer little to no chance of athlete’s foot.

3D-printed custom-fitted shoes are the future of the shoe industry. Fitasy is an early developer of this technology, which will move us towards more comfortable shoes.

As a podiatrist, I appreciate the challenges of customizing a shoe for one’s mechanical profile. Having tried a prototype of non-customized shoes, I can say that they have the weight, feel, traction and sturdiness of traditionally-made shoes. I have made them my everyday work shoes and have already been asked multiple times where I got them because of their sleek design.

I have confidence that Fitasy is on its way to developing an ergonomically-functional shoe, without compromising aesthetic design. Many of my patients who have trouble with over-the-counter shoes will benefit from this 3D-printed custom-fitted shoe technology.
