What's the durability like? Do you need to run your printer 24/7 to keep shoes on your feet?

You can't print a sole, midsole or anything, Why people think they can print proper shoes is beyond me.

You can't print them in parts and bond them together?

There is not a single fdm printer material that is good for shoes. That TPU even though it's "flexible" is way to hard for a midsole and as a sole as soon as it gets wet you are sliding all over the place. Then for an upper plastic is well known for being able to breathe /s, hence why this "shoe" looks like swiss cheese which is well known to provide tons of support for those pesky ligaments in your ankle and foot.
