Next time you need an X-ray ask the doctor why that costs more than a pair of shoes. I mean they used to include one free with a pair.

#65Earlier quoted context omitted.
Would require taking your shoes and socks off, smothering them in sonic gel, and having someone who knows how operate the wand.
I’m not sure about that. I’d imagine for a general outline of the foot with little need for detail it might be fine.

because the shoe salesman isn't a trained radiologist.

Aren't the two distinguished in the billing? And AFAIK you can get 'just an xray' from one provider then contract another radiologist for the analysis.

#69Say, why can’t we recreate this with ultrasound? Actually that seems like a good idea. Should I patent it?
I think you could build a 3d model with photogrammetry. There's not that much soft tissue and it's not like you're going to ignore it, anyway. Retool the manufacturing so custom shoes roll off the line with modern materials and design. I'd pay a premium for hiking boots custom made for my feet, and I bet a lot of other people would, too. Or any athletic footwear. People are already paying whatever they can afford. Of…
This is already a thing: my usual running shoe store went out of business because of Covid, and the new one I went to has a machine that scans your feet and builds a 3D model. Like flouroscopy, I suspect it's mostly a gimmick: the shoes I ended up getting there are fine but don't seem to be appreciably better than the ones I would get at the store which measured my feet the old-fashioned way.
