Never worry about a broken heel or torn sole again. If your shoes start to fall apart, just print a new pair.

Finnish designer Janne Kyttanen debuted a collection of wedge heels created entirely using a 3D printer. The collection has four designs — Leaf, Macedonia, Facet and Classic.

The blueprints for all four pairs are available online on Kyttanenn's Cubify profile for free.

The only caveat to printing on your own means figuring out how to adjust the prints to your size. If you don't have access to a 3D printer, you can pay Cubify to do it for you.

Watch the video above for details, then let us know in the comments whether you'd opt for 3D-printed shoes over the in-store experience.
