Sandals AR — let shoppers see summer shoes on their own foot before they order
Open sandals and slides are hard to judge from a white-background photo. Strap width, toe coverage, heel strap and colour all change how the shoe looks on a real foot. Wearfits AR puts a true-to-scale 3D sandal on the shopper's foot from the product page, so they can check the look before they add to cart. One 3D asset per model, colour and material covers every size you stock.
Shoes and bags only. Apparel uses Gen-AI try-on, not AR. Sandals AR shows how the shoe looks on the foot; it does not replace a size guide. A new colourway or strap material is a separate 3D asset; a new size of the same model reuses the existing one.
How Sandals AR works
From your bestselling summer models to try-on on every matching product page.
Pick the hero models
List the sandals, slides and flip-flops you sell most, with colour and material for each.
Build the 3D shoes
We create a true-to-scale asset per model, colour and material, from product photos or samples. See Photo to 3D.
Attach to product pages
Link the asset to the product. On Shopify, install the app and connect products from the dashboard.
Add new colourways
When a new summer colourway drops, we add one asset for it; all sizes of that colourway share it.
Where it helps a sandals store
Typical moments for sandal and summer footwear retailers.
Strap and coverage doubts
Shoppers see how much of the foot the straps cover and where the heel strap sits.
Bold summer colours
Bright and metallic colourways are easier to commit to after seeing them worn, not only on a white background.
Resort and travel drops
Try-on from the first day of a seasonal launch. See Peak season AR and Pre-order AR.
Size questions
Pair try-on with clear size guidance on the product page. See Size confidence.
Newsletter and gift emails
Share a try-on link for the new arrival with your list. See Email AR and Gift guide AR.
In-store and online together
A QR code on the shelf opens the same try-on for colours you don't have in stock. See QR try-on.

Photo guide for sandals
Start with one best-seller. Clear photos give the 3D build the best starting point.
Before you shoot
Clean the shoe and remove tags and stuffing paper. Use a plain, light background and soft, even light. Keep the same distance and height for every angle, with the whole shoe in frame and nothing cropped.
Angles to capture
One shoe per set: side (outside), side (inside), front, back, top-down (showing where each strap sits), three-quarter front and sole.
Sandal-specific tips
Show every strap from one end to the other, and add a close-up of the buckle or closure and the footbed. Transparent, glossy or mesh straps are harder to read, so add a few extra angles in soft, even light.
Skip these
Heavy filters, collages, text overlays, people wearing the shoes, mirrored shots and busy floors. Check that all photos have the same lighting before you send them.

FAQ
Straight answers for sandal and summer footwear retailers evaluating AR try-on.
Is Sandals AR a clothing try-on?
No. Wearfits AR is for shoes and bags only. Sandals AR shows a 3D sandal or slide on the shopper's foot so they can judge strap layout, footbed shape and look. It is not clothing try-on or apparel Gen-AI try-on.
Does AR tell a shopper whether a sandal will fit or feel comfortable?
No. AR shows how the sandal looks on the foot: strap positions, toe shape, heel strap and colour. It does not measure the foot or rate comfort, arch support or width. Keep your size guide and fit notes on the product page.
How many 3D assets do I need for a sandals range?
One 3D asset per model, colour and material. A new colourway, a leather versus fabric strap, or a different buckle layout needs its own asset. A new shoe size of the same model reuses the existing asset.
Can we run Sandals AR on Shopify?
Yes. Install the Wearfits Try-On Shopify app, connect products from the dashboard and place try-on on the product page. See the Shopify get-started guide and the PDP try-on page.
Do open sandals and flip-flops work with AR try-on?
Yes. Sandals, slides, flip-flops and strappy summer shoes are footwear. Open designs show more of the foot, so shoppers often want to see strap placement and coverage before they buy. We build true-to-scale 3D assets for those styles.
Run a sandals or summer footwear store?
