"HEZO has developed a personalized cycling shoe production system that creates custom footwear using 3D printing technology and smartphone-based foot scanning. The company uses an app-based foot scan to collect 1,000 data points with a claimed 1-millimeter accuracy, which feeds into proprietary fitting software that uses algorithms to produce individually tailored cycling shoes."
"The company's manufacturing process employs FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing with recyclable materials designed for lightweight, modular construction and high performance. The three-person founding team includes Wiehr (Master of Industrial Design), Carsten Kaldenhoff (Master of Engineering and former competitive cyclist), and Dr. Nils Hasler (PhD in Computer Science)."
"The shoes feature a zero-drop design with expanded toe room, which claims to prevent foot numbness during rides. Customers create 3D foot scans using HEZO's mobile app to take three photographs, which the company's software uses to digitally customize their cycling shoes."
HEZO, a German sports equipment manufacturer founded in 2022, has developed a personalized cycling shoe production system using 3D printing and smartphone-based foot scanning technology. The company's app collects 1,000 data points from foot scans with claimed 1-millimeter accuracy, feeding into proprietary software that creates individually tailored cycling shoes. The manufacturing process uses FDM 3D printing with recyclable materials for lightweight, modular construction. The founding team includes Helen Wiehr (Industrial Design), Carsten Kaldenhoff (Engineering and former competitive cyclist), and Dr. Nils Hasler (Computer Science). HEZO has launched multiple shoe models including the Helu One, Wolfland 01 for gravel cycling, Helu Two Carbon and Helu 03 for road cycling, plus recovery slides. The shoes feature zero-drop design with expanded toe room to prevent foot numbness.
