In reply to llamaglama: umm... Nice idea if you've got what it takes to make a quality product. I suspect very few 'punters' would be willing to pay big bucks for custom shoes. I'd reckon the real market would be amongst top grade climbers which limits your market but obviously the numbers are increasing all the time as climbing becomes even more mass participation. I'd of thought sponcered climbers already have custom footbeds that the brands use to make their shoes. But on a small scale hobbies basis you might be on to a winner. Twinned with a resoling venture you might even have a business model. I probably pay around a hundred quid if I knew you. That's pretty normal for technical shoes anyway so basically I don't think you'd get a premium for the custom bit. Best of luck though. Now back to work slacker, do you want to be a dr or not!
