Following the fast fashion industry trends, there is an increasing pattern of consumers to stand out and express themselves by means of lifestyle products especially footwear. So in order to meet the demands, "customisation" of fashion and lifestyle products has become a popular trend. However it cannot be easily satisfied by mass manufactured shoes except for those who can afford to pay the hefty amount for the collection.
