Only 5% of all shoes purchased are ordered online. The main reason for people not to buy shoes online is their insecurity about the right size. Moreover, when people order shoes online, 50% of the purchases are returned mainly due to a bad fit. ShoeSize.Me came up with a solution to accurately recommend the right shoe size to an online shoe shopper. The ShoeSize.Me plug-in can be directly and seamlessly integrated on the product detail page of any online shop and allows the user to get size recommendations with only a few clicks.

By referring to the ShoeSize.Me algorithm, the accurate size for the user is immediately generated, which (s)he can then take into account for when selecting his size. The ShoeSize.Me solution benefits both consumers and online retailers. With the accurate shoe size recommendation, the purchase of multiple shoes sizes as well as the returns of ill-fitting shoes dramatically decreases. The ShoeSize.Me, shoe size recommendation plug-in will boost consumer confidence and encourage the purchase of shoes online, whilst reducing costs for online retailers.
