Properly fitting shoes and ski boots. Why can’t I get my foot scanned and then figure out if it will properly fit into the shoe volume before I buy it based on existing scans of current market products
- mbm 3y agoThat’s a good one. Just had that same problem literally today, although with a loafer, not a ski boot.
- jfrbfbreudh 3y agoExactly this, but with climbing shoes, which have such a high return rate that some retailers have stopped accepting returns. There’s definitely a market for this; it just has to be easy. (I was going to create a 3D model of my foot using my iphone but it required taking 200 photos from various angles per foot. I instead just ordered 4 pairs and returned 3.)
- nothercastle 3y agoThe foot model wouldn’t help without a database of shoes. You need a crafty little robot widget to scan the inside of shoes and possibly put a bit of pressure on the inside to get the shape to fill out. In women’s shoes there are too many shoes to scan but in men’s the selection is pretty limited
- KomoD 3y agoThis is why I prefer physical stores, I can actually try it
- nothercastle 3y agoBut they never have your size, or style or width and it’s such a time sink to try all the acceptable shoes in the store only to leave with nothing
