Virtual running shoe fitting uses your phone or computer to help you see how different running shoes look and may fit before you buy. It combines camera-based foot tracking, 3D shoe models, and size‑recommendation algorithms to simulate shoes on your feet in real time. This matters because running shoes influence comfort, performance, and injury risk, yet sizing and feel can vary widely between brands.
Virtual try‑on helps bridge the gap between in‑store fitting and online shopping by letting you “try” multiple models quickly and safely at home. When used together with size guides and return policies, it can make buying running shoes online more confident and informed.
Decide based on your criteria.
