This is an innovation imagined by the start-up lille Unistudio and the shoemaker Eram. Their “Atelier 27″ allows the manufacture, in an hour, a heel-to-measure, 3D printed. Technically, it is not really a heel, but rather a shell of plastic heel to be positioned on a heel already existing. “Made in corn starch, this plastic, which is extremely strong, is for the moment the only material available but we are working on the development of new materials,” says Thiphaine, head of customer marketing at Eram.

Eram has so far worked on a design for a single model of heel for which it offers no less than six hundred possible combinations, by varying the width, the texture, the color or even the grounds. Prints with geometric volume such as a node or a death’s head – are also possible. For now in test, this Workshop 27th may soon find its place in some shops Eram, or can be requested via the online sale. The cost of such a heel ?
