To costly and the material...

though soft, isn't well suited for continuous flexing like a shoe would be.

Plus the modeling would be costly, since the shoe would have to be designed around the scan... and the print time due to the quality wanted would probably take 100+ hours per shoe. Even @$15/hr (which is way to little) that'd be $3000/pair.
