Company Description

ShoeSize.Me AG provides a plug-in to online shoe shops that generates the optimum shoe size recommendation for any online shopper.

ShoeSize.Me is an online service that provides online shoe shoppers with a personal size recommendation. It aims to provide one single source of size advice for every shoe that is sold online, by offering a smart, simple and scalable solution to e-commerce retailers around the globe, whilst encouraging more people to purchase shoes online. Finding the perfect shoe size is straightforward when purchasing shoes in a retail store, but when it comes to online-shopping, where shoes cannot be physically tried on, this becomes a real challenge. Relying on shoe sizing information provided online does not make it any easier because of the shoe sizing chaos everyone is familiar with: Sizing systems differ from country to country (US, UK, EU, IT etc.), between and within brands. 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. The user is asked to mention the size of a shoe model that fits him well. 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. Inconsistent and confusing shoe sizing should no longer be a reason to prevent consumers from having a great online shopping experience.
