hi i saw apair of flip flops today where the foot is cast scanned and the body of the flip flop is cut to mirror the foot. they were very comfy and i thought quite cool. they can be made in any colour/ density.Anybody else seen these.

 

No but I'll be interested to hear about them if anyone knows. Only replying so that I keep informaed in this thread......and yes I did read the thread about subscribing to threads without actually posting. I just like the sound of my...own....typing?

 

Interesting concept. Mill out a full length EVA shell and attach straps. I will have to experiment with it.

l have seen them both here in Australia and Germany when l was over there, quite a few colours from memory

The ones l am talking about have being producing them for a few years now

 

Why do we need direct milled flip flops?

 

Why do we need direct milled flip flops?

Flip Flops by and large do not offer much support. There are some on the market that do have support in the arch area. Imagine having the ability to wear a custom made EVA full length orthotic with a firm rubber outersole and straps attached to make it a flip flop. People with foot problems would like them so they would not be a prisoner to their enclosed walking shoes/orthotics, especially in the summer.

They have flip flobs with removable foot beds as well to insert an orthotic (Naot) and they are very popular.

Hi do you know where you can buy these flip flops from??

FootMill is a software program able to design many types of custom footbeds, positives, etc.
It will produce custom Flip-flops. It even designs the cutouts for the straps.

Anybody with access to a CNC table, who just has to make one, I can send you the g-code free if you send me a scan in any standard format. I'll need a few details about the table and endmill used also.

Anyone who wants to purchase the program, send me a private message.

flip flops arrived and were great had them done in stokes colours for the cup final unfortunateley we lost well done man city . very comfy superb fit

 

Recently tried wearing the Orthaheel orthotic sandals(from Canonbury). As I wear Vasyli Howard Danenberg orthotics, they suit me down to the ground. They don't offer as good a control as my trainers + orthoses but they reduce my PF tension enough that I can wear them all day(not that I have much of a chance to in the Isle of Man with it's scorching climate!) and not get PF pain. £30 squids - bargain. Would like to have a shot at the direct milled ones though
