AN EDITION OF ONE,
ENGINEERED FOR YOU
Your feet contain 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles. Standard sizing overlooks this complexity, causing fatigue and strain.
The MODEL T, built with AI precision fit and European craft, serves leaders moving from boardrooms to airports. One pair replaces an entire rotation of dress and walking shoes for lasting comfort, performance, and health.
THE INDUSTRY ON IAMBIC
Using NASA-approved AI-scanning technology, IAMBIC developed a shoe that is truly made for its wearer.
The Anatomy of Precision
Made-to-order in Madeira by master Portuguese shoemakers, the MODEL T combines heritage craftsmanship with modern engineering. Every seam and panel is precisely designed for lasting comfort, health, and durability.
Component
Upper
Italian full-grain leather chosen for its structure, durability, and natural character.
Softens with body heat, adapts over time, and develops a rich, personal patina that reflects how you move.
Sole Architecture
Triple-layer, high-grade rubber with tread patterns for superior traction. Designed to absorb impact,
maintain stability, and perform through many years of daily wear.
Insole System
Personalized cushioning with four-level adjustable foams reduces strain. Removable insoles accommodate
custom orthotics captured in our scanning process.
Panel Construction
Strategically recessed panels and open flexion points support unrestricted movement.
Heel System
Anatomically shaped collar with precision foam padding for stable fit.
Signature Fit
Guarantee
White-glove Concierge service with unlimited refits to achieve perfect satisfaction.
Craftsmanship
Protected against manufacturing and fit defects with dedicated support.
BUILT ON SCIENCE
Backed by biomechanics and real-world data. Research, AI, and testing deliver reliable fit and performance.
Developed with Dr. Hylton Menz, the world’s authority in footwear biomechanics. The MODEL T applies research, data, and testing to deliver precision fit with proven performance. Backed by the Center for Biotechnology and U.S. government funding, perfected over 5 years of R&D.
- 12 patent-pending inventions in AI, computer vision, and advanced scanning
- Benchmarked against NASA-grade scanning with 50,000+ proprietary fit profiles
- Achieves 98% accuracy with millimeter-level precision
- A TIME Best Invention of the Year
MOTORSPORT ENGINEERING
A chassis built for control. Materials and construction echo motorsport for stability, feedback, and long wear.
Every MODEL T is shaped by motorsport-level precision, control, and performance. Its structure echos custom-built chassis, while tire-tread wear bars integrate engineered feedback. Named in memory of Tyson, whose love of cars guided IAMBIC’s evolution from software to precision-fit footwear. Inducted into the Miami Shoe Museum, the MODEL T carries forward his vision of technology, craftsmanship, and personal legacy.
EVOLUTIONARY FIT
Your first pair is precision-fit. Each new pair learns from your wear data and further personalizes comfort and support.
Our triple-layer sole is designed to adapt and improve with every step.
- 3 high-grade rubber compounds engineered for impact absorption, stability, and grip
- Tire-inspired wear bars that track subtle patterns revealing alignment and balance over time
- Sole Print System that uses this data and your feedback to refine the fit of future pairs
PREMIUM PRODUCT CARE
Italian leather and triple-layer rubber are built to last. Simple, regular care keeps the finish crisp and the grip strong.
Exceptional materials deserve care. Italian full-grain leather rewards upkeep with rich patina. High-grade, multi-compound rubber delivers superior durability and grip vs. common foams that flatten and degrade. Its strong traction may collect dust, so regular attention preserves its crisp, premium look.
CARE AREA
LEATHER
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For deeper cleaning, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry promptly. Apply leather-specific cleaner as needed. If wet, air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat or sunlight.
RUBBER SOLE
Gently clean sidewalls, grooves and tread with a damp cloth or soft-bristled brush to maintain its sharp finish. Avoid harsh cleaners to protect the integrity of its premium rubber compounds.

Why Precision Fit Wins in AI Fashion for Executives
Crunchbase highlights IAMBIC in AI + fashion. See how precision fit serves executives on travel days and in long meetings. Take the Fit Guide Quiz.
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.
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 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.
The first moment that I tried on my IAMBIC shoes, I noticed a difference. I have small feet. So whenever I try on shoes, I usually expect them to not fit. If they do fit, there's usually some sort of discomfort, whether that's in the toe box or too much space or at the heel. So knowing that this shoe was tailored to my foot was really meaningful. It's rare that you find a shoe like IAMBIC that truly is comfortable, but also hits the markers of style versatility.
I think we're all placed on this earth as unique individuals. None of us are really off the rack in terms of sizing. So for me to have that experience of having something made specifically for me that fit perfectly was something that was a little bit mind blowing. And once I got the shoes, I tried them on, they looked great, they felt great. And honestly, they fit like a glove.
