The Next Breakthrough In Shoe Retail Industry - Sweden Volumetal Brings Black Technology That Makes Shoes Fit Really

The size of shoes has always been a pain point for consumers and shoe retail brands. For hundreds of years, Footwear industry Four traditional shoe size systems (UK, US, EU and Mondopoint), under the same system, size charts of different brands also vary in size. Even if the size is uniform, the comfort and fit of the selected products are still unsatisfactory. The main reason is that the measurement of foot length alone is not enough to find an accurate shoe size. Factors such as foot width, foot circumference, instep height and shoe materials will affect the wearing experience.

　　 Can you find the right shoes by choosing the same size?

You must have had the experience of trying on shoes for many times, but it is difficult to find a suitable style. It is clear that the shoes have the same size but different fit degrees, so the size label on the shoes can not actually describe the actual size. For this reason, Volumetal conducted in-depth test research and analyzed More than 600 US9 medium width Women's running shoes , use accurate data to show the actual size difference of shoes of the same size.

Using foot scan and corresponding purchase data, Volumetal compared the fit of 611 running shoe models of 12 popular running shoe brands. The results are shown in the following figure: 　　

Each point in this chart represents a running shoe style. The abscissa of each point indicates the suitable foot length of this shoe (the shoe on the left has a shorter foot shape, and the shoe on the right has a longer foot shape). The ordinate of each point indicates the appropriate foot width of this shoe (the upper shoe fits the wider foot shape, and the lower shoe fits the narrower foot shape). The proper foot shape of each shoe is calculated through hundreds or even thousands of 3D scans of consumers who buy this style and US9 size, that is, the foot shape that can actually wear this shoe comfortably. The vertical and horizontal color areas show the range of length and width specified by US9. The shoes in the central overlap area are really US9 shoes. In theory, all feet wearing US9 shoes should conform to the foot length and foot width of the central overlap area.

This result shows us a terrible fact - 611 samples Running shoes Only 63% are suitable for real US9 foot shape. Therefore, it is not surprising that the same person cannot comfortably wear different shoes of the same size.

　 Can you find the right shoes by measuring shoes?

Same size shoes Because of the difference between different shoe upper materials, different last shapes and so on, it cannot be accurately measured. Even if the shoes are identical, the mesh material must be more suitable for a larger foot shape than the leather material. Therefore, we believe that the feeling of each person's feet can measure whether the shoes are comfortable or not.

Volumetal has tens of millions of 3D foot scan data and retail purchase data matching the scan data. With the help of the large database, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are applied to predict the fit of each shoe, and then more accurate recommendations are made for specific foot types.

By purchasing the same pair shoes 100% of consumers conduct 3D foot shape scanning, and Volumetal's system will understand the actual fit of this pair of shoes. Its unique FitTech ™ Technology platform, use 3D foot scanner to measure and obtain all aspects of consumer foot shape information in just 5 seconds. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology platform provides comfortable footwear product suggestions and size recommendations in retail stores and online platforms through 3D computer vision technology, combined with purchase data from tens of millions of footwear consumers. Volumetal has scanned more than 3000 stores in multiple shoe segments 40 million times of foot shape data, and continued to serve shoe brands/retailers and consumers, so that consumers can get comfortable shoes and satisfactory shopping experience in the service of shoe brands/retailers.

　　 Technology is the ultimate answer to the question of comfortable shoes and feet

The real way to solve the size problem is to understand the different foot shapes suitable for different shoes, and directly Shoe consumers Provide recommendations. According to the years of experience of Volumetal in the shoe industry, this method can be said to be accurate and efficient so far.

Big data has been proved to be effective in solving the problems in many fields, and Volumtal, relying on big data technology, is committed to solving the shoe size matching problem. Applying machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) methods to foot shape scanning and matching corresponding shoe purchase records can provide accurate shoe size recommendations that are constantly upgraded and optimized for salesmen in stores, online malls and shoe consumers. 　　

The development of Internet technology makes shopping more convenient, and FitTech technology improves Shoes The purchase process provides a new experience. For the footwear industry that needs a try on experience, the technology that integrates online and offline shopping experiences and can solve the size problem will be the next breakthrough for the footwear retail industry. Now, Volumetal, a technology company from Sweden, has brought the black technology that truly fits shoes to China!
