Feet Shoes Because what's more beautiful than feet

For a few months I have been obsessed with this idea to design a pair of shoes that look like my feet. This is partly to fulfill a social fantasy of mine: I walk into a restaurant in my foot shoes, I am stopped and told “Sir, unfortunately it is our policy that you must be wearing shoes to eat here.” Then I can say: “Pardon me, but these are shoes… These are Foot shoes” as I dramatically take a shoe off and show my sock underneath. Then the welcome me to a the table of honor and give us dinner on the house.

Back to business:
- I printed these out of TPU so they have some flex in them.
- I set them to print vertically, so that the support is minimal and you get the best surface on 98% of the foot. (It does take a bit to print each one).
- These are designed to fit a 10.5-11 US mans foot. I am not a foot expert, but you can probably scale them for your feet. 
- I painted mine with a mix of acrylic paints. I actually used a silver grey TPU for the right foot and a bright yellow TPU for the left one. When they were printed I hit them with a base level of spray paint and then iterated through different acrylic colors until I had something that seemed believable unless you get unreasonably close. 

- I wear thick socks with mine. You aren't going to want to run a race in these or play soccer with your friends. I would describe them at a tolerable level of comfort.

- You will notice a weird swirl on the top front of the foot, just paint over it and move along (nothing to see here)
- Your toes are probably not going to fit all the way to the end, which is probably for the best.

This is a really ridiculous design, if you print these, please share pictures of the end result and any associated stories.

It is a work in progress, but I hope to provide more information about my models, and some tips if you want to create your own.
