Virtual Footwear Fitting Solution
For brands and retailers, sizing continues to be a major problem that leads to high return costs, a poor customer experience, and a larger carbon footprint due to the solid waste produced by returned goods and packaging. According to the data, size is a factor in 68% of online returns. Finding a useful approach to illustrate the fitting properties of footwear is one of the inherent challenges for online retailers.
While there are numerous fitting options (such as AI photo fitting tools) available to assist end users in selecting the appropriate size of the products at the purchasing stage. However, shoemakers cannot now handle sizing at the beginning of the product journey using authorized methods for objective assessment at the R&D and manufacturing stage. Even today, shoemakers still use in-house staff or actual human testers to carry out the wearing-fit test. The staff frequently determines if the shoes are too tight, too loose, too big, etc. based on these small sample datasets.
OUR VIRTUAL FOOTWEAR FITTING SOLUTION
The key to solving the footwear fitting problem is to ensure that shoes are manufactured with the proper inner dimensions for customers in various regions. With the objective evaluation provided by our virtual footwear fitting solution, which is based on an extensive database of human foot sizes, the conventional wearing fit tests are improved.
Our technology creates a 3D scanned model of the inside of the shoes, compares it to a database of human feet in various market sizes, simulates trying on the shoes, and then performs a 3D heatmap analysis to assess how well the shoes fit.
