I would seriously consider this.. the only problem though is that I only know how to make these for MY feet :) I'm not sure how to adjust the pattern for other folks' feet since I don't have them here to look at, and I don't want to make something that doesn't fit.
Sir Douglas:
Maybe have them send in a tracing on their feet. Might help with the soles, at least. Not sure what to do about the uppers.
You'd also probably have to get some lasts (is that what they're called?) in different sizes, or perhaps send them out unturned with instructions on soaking them and turning them and whatnot.
I don't know...just some thoughts. I understand your concern, though. I have the same problem. :)
Sir Ulrich:
That I would buy honestly. Could use a pair of "shoes that feel barefoot" as my feet never feel right in any shoes really. Would prolly be easier with a "plaster cast" similar to what Jeff does to make greaves.

You could have them give you measurements...I read a good tutorial on one of the websites as to what measurements are needed to make a proper pattern.
