I particularly like the design by the Campana Brothers. They are so dreamy - although not ruby red, they make me think of Dorothy. Here's a pair by Dutch designer Marloes ten Bhromer: http://ow.ly/a0aWf The shoe is called the 'Rapidprototypedshoe' and was created on an Objet Connex multi-material printer. Nice blog Sarah.
