I think you could just use photographs to make a 3d model.
As someone with hard to fit feet, I have often wished for custom footwear made with modern materials and design. I envision a system where you go to the store, they create a 3d model, you pick a design, and it is sent off to a factory that has been tooled to efficiently build the footwear from the model.
I think you could charge 150 or even 200% over off-the-shelf versions for modern custom fit running shoes/hiking boots/ski boots, etc. These markets already spend extra money for premium products. I know I would pay it, gladly.
Runners seem to go through shoes like clockwork. You could setup a subscription service.
