IAMBIC is your personalized footwear solution — merging custom sizing, comfort-focused designs, and advanced fitting technology into every pair of stylish shoes.
After all, personalization is key. When it comes to finding the perfect shoe for your feet, what works for one person won’t necessarily work for you. That’s where IAMBIC is different: We get to know your unique foot shape and preferences, then provide tailored options to help you solve your individual fit and comfort needs.
What Is the IAMBIC Experience?
Your personalized shoe journey starts with the IAMBIC Virtual Consultation, our intuitive, app-based process that guides you through each step of measuring and defining your perfect fit.
The Virtual Consultation uses a 3-image foot scan that you can complete from the comfort of your home. Simply snap three photos—front, side, and angled—to capture your foot shape, arch type, and pressure points. This scan provides the most accurate data possible, forming the basis for a truly custom-fit shoe.
As part of the Consultation, you’re empowered to answer key questions about your fit history, comfort preferences, and individual needs, such as:
- On your average day, how much time do you spend walking?
- What do you like most about your favorite pair of shoes?
- When shoes don’t fit, what is the source of discomfort?
This detailed information—along with the 3-image foot scan—helps IAMBIC’s team of scientists, engineers, and AI technology precisely personalize each pair of shoes to fit your life.

Is IAMBIC Worth It? Here’s What Makes IAMBIC Different
IAMBIC is designed to deliver a truly custom fit without complicating your life. Using advanced scanning and design technology, IAMBIC combines precise measurements and premium materials to create tailored shoes that feel like they were made just for you—because they are. Despite the state-of-the-art process behind the scenes, our solutions are seamlessly woven into shoes that fit effortlessly into your daily routine.
Accuracy Above All
When you visit a podiatrist, there’s a reason they capture detailed foot measurements rather than relying on guesswork or a general size scale: accuracy. Your unique foot shape is the ideal source for reliable, impactful data, and IAMBIC leverages this reality by:
Measuring from the ground up: IAMBIC’s 3-image foot scan captures over 20 different measurements for each foot, detecting crucial details like ball girth, instep height, and heel diagonal. This approach offers a precision fit whether you need wide width shoes, narrow width shoes, or custom shoes for fit problems.
Prioritizing the right technology: Unlike manual measurements that can vary, IAMBIC’s AI-powered fitting system recognizes minuscule differences—down to 2mm—in your foot dimensions. This level of detail allows for comfortable shoes customized to your exact specifications, helping to prevent the common fit issues experienced by those with wide or narrow feet.
Taking a holistic approach: Beyond our smartphone-based foot scan, we gather data like your desired cushioning level, preferred sock thickness, and whether you favor a snug or loose fit. These highly subjective factors—along with insights about your foot measurements—influence how even a millimeter difference can significantly affect your overall comfort. By marrying precise measurements with everyday preferences, IAMBIC can craft your shoes to fit both your feet and your lifestyle.
Constantly validating: Our fit standards are nearly indistinguishable from traditional bespoke benchmarks. In fact, our system measures differences as small as 2mm. With over 5 years of government-funded research—including 3 years dedicated exclusively to R&D, supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation—we’ve refined and tested our technology and footwear extensively. Across more than 50,000 foot scans, IAMBIC has demonstrated a 98% correlation with precise measurement standards, proving that our tailored shoes can effectively address hard-to-fit feet without sacrificing style.
Personalized for You
Every individual’s feet—and comfort preferences—are unique. Rather than rely on impersonal sizing charts or a 12-size-fits-all approach, IAMBIC zeroes in on the nuances that make your feet distinct. From arch type to cushioning preferences, we assemble a 360° view of your footwear needs. Whether you’re looking for elevated shoes for a long day at the office or casual shoes with a perfect fit for a weekend of travel, IAMBIC helps you reach your comfort goals by delivering an experience that’s tailored just for you.
Easy to Use
Getting started with IAMBIC is refreshingly simple—and it won’t disrupt your daily routine. Our smartphone-based Virtual Consultation is quick and intuitive, allowing you to capture all your measurements and preferences without ever stepping into a store or wrestling with clunky devices.
- Scan with Ease: All you need is your phone’s camera to complete our 3-image foot scan—no special equipment or appointments required.
- Stay Comfortable: Say goodbye to guesswork in the shoe aisle. Once we have your measurements on file, you can reorder any style with the same spot-on fit.
- Built to Last: Crafted from high-quality materials, IAMBIC shoes are designed for everyday wear—whether you’re commuting, running errands, or hitting the gym.
No matter how packed your schedule, IAMBIC ensures getting custom-fit shoes is one of the easiest (and most comfortable) parts of your day.
How Much Do Custom-Fit Shoes Cost?
Unlike traditional bespoke footwear that can cost $3,000 to $10,000 per pair and require multiple in-person fittings, IAMBIC makes custom-fit shoes far more accessible. You don’t have to be a fashion insider or spend hours visiting cobblers to get the perfect fit—all you need is your smartphone and a few minutes to complete the Virtual Consultation.
By choosing IAMBIC, you’ll enjoy:

As a runner, as an athlete, just knowing that I'm doing a good service to my body is incredible.It’s the reason that I love my IAMBIC shoes. It's that precision that makes me feel safe to walkdown the street, get on the subway, do my commute, bring my kids to school, and not feelconcerned that I'm doing it in a shoe that doesn't fit right or that doesn't feel good.
The most interesting thing about them being crafted just for me is how well they fit. And I hadnever even noticed that my shoes didn't fit right. My other shoes don't hurt me - they just slosharound. With these, the heels actually stay on the whole time and it fits snugly yet stillcomfortably. And I'd never experienced that before. They just stay comfortable all day.
The thing that I was surprised by the most with the precision fit is that any pressure points thatI had been feeling with the shoes that I previously came in wearing were completely gone. I waswearing a shoe that wasn't too tight. It wasn't too loose. The sole fit just right. Total comfort.That's the best way to put it.
So I suffer from chronic foot pain and I believe that a lot of that has to do with wearing shoesthat actually don't fit. Whenever I wear my IAMBICs, I've noticed that I have felt less pain,which is really incredible. And they're just so comfortable. I'm not worried about the back of my heel popping out or my ankles not having enough support. Also, they're just so stylish andevery timeI wear them out in the street, I always get compliments, which never happens to me.
A shoe that may feel comfortable for a half hour walk is not a shoe that always feels comfortablefor a three and a half hour walk. So what I like about IAMBIC is, even though the snug fit isthere and it feels comfortable, it also feels substantial enough that I can walk a lot withoutgetting any discomfort. That's just something that's especially important to me and I think theshoe has really delivered that.
