Simple or colorful, with heels or without….shoes are an important part of our everyday wear. Each season the designers offer new, sometimes even shocking designs of shoes. Fast growing technological developments in fashion leave a mark on the shoe industry too. Designers continuously seek ways to create sustainable and technologically sophisticated prototypes of shoes of the future.
In this post I have summarized the most interesting shoe designs I recently came across. 3-D printed shoes, boots from fire hose, shoes with interchangeable heels or boots with 21“ long upturned toe are the confirmation that the industry is in constant dynamic move and can still surprise us with original concepts.
Ammonite by Fernando Romero
Ammonite by Fernando Romero is one of the five 3D-printed shoe designs presented during the architectural shoe exhibition ‘Re-Inventing shoes’ in Milan design week 2015 organized by United Nude and 3D Systems Corporation.

Sagion Socialite Shoes
Ancient Vietnamese wood crafting art Pagoda translated into a modern wearable art. It takes 18 days to make a pair of these shoes. No two pairs are alike.

Comme des Garçons Homme Plus
These are one of the most ridiculous shoes I have ever seen. Guarachero Boots with 21“ long upturned pointed toe by Comme des Garçons Homme Plus S/S2015.

Fire Hose Boots
According the industrial designer Dorian Koelmans the best way to reuse a discarded fire hose is to make boots out of it.

Convertible Heels
A broken heel is no longer an issue thanks to designer Tanya Heath’s revolutionary invention – shoes with interchangeable heels! Now, we can change the style and the height of the heel with the push of a button!

So interesting Naira, I can’t even imagine such kind of shoes exist 😉
I know!!!! The imagination of the designers is endless!!!! Thanks for stopping by 😉
Brilliant Post
Thank you!
So interesting !!! I really liked the idea of the convertible heels !!!
Me too!!!!! One pair of shoes for all occasions 🙂 Plus there is so much room to be creative!!!!
Great read. Interesting concepts!! Liking the interchangeable heels – so convinient right! Not sure about the men super pointed curled shoe!!!
Thanks! Indeed the idea of interchangeable heels is great! Super convenient! Totally agree with you about the shoes with pointed toe! These shoes are definitely NOT in the list of top comfortable footwear 😀
The convertible heels are sheer genius!! Wish I would have come up with that one.
Indeed, it’s a great idea!
I find the convertible ones great! The others seem unwearable to me unfortunately…

I totally agree! The idea of convertible heels is just super cool and practical! For me the Volvorii shoes also look quite wearable, especially I love the fact that you can change the shoe color/patter. The rest indeed are a bit more experimental 😉
I have so much trouble wrapping my mind around what 3D printers can do anyway, but those red shoes are crazy!
Indeed, it seems that almost everything is possible to make via 3D printers 🙂 Btw., in my further posts I will share some more information about the usage of 3D technologies in fashion 😉
Love the convertible ones! And…I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award! Check out my blog to find out more.
