> Shoes are this way for a lot of people, in that some of us can keep a pair of shoes long enough that the next fashion cycle has happened and you can't find anything like that again.

Try working from home. It's guaranteed that by the time you need new shoes nothing resembling your current shoes that you know and love is available any more.

Same for a lot of other clothing items that you only wear outside.

Leather work boots hardly change. I have some Red Wings that are close to an 80 year design or something.

This is where I'm at after years of trying various designs. I went back to shoes I loved in the 90's; Doc Martin 1461 3-eyelet loafers. Classic design, easy to find, and I haven't worn anything since to work in more than a decade now.

Those are immortal too. But I wouldn't go for a walk in that in summer. My feet would surely melt.

Can shoes or sandals be 3d printed from the original specifications?
