Well, it might not get rid of the sales side of things -- people would still need shoes, in five styles or five hundred -- but it would disemploy the shoe designers if things didn't change.
The technical fix is to have shoes made as one-offs by very clever machines from a file of designs, so one can still get what one wants and the designers can still design. (can be paid by the actual rate at which their designs sell, too, which might have interesting side effects...)
