Sneakers AR — let shoppers see lifestyle sneakers on their own foot before they order

Lifestyle and casual sneakers are hard to judge from a flat product shot. Silhouette, tongue height, sole stack and colourway all change how the shoe looks on a real foot. Wearfits AR puts a true-to-scale 3D sneaker 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. Sneakers AR shows how the shoe looks on the foot; it does not replace a size guide. A new colourway or upper material is a separate 3D asset; a new size of the same model reuses the existing one. For timed launches, see Sneaker Drop AR.

How Sneakers AR works

From your bestselling lifestyle models to try-on on every matching product page.

Pick the hero models

List the sneakers you sell most, with colour and material for each SKU line.

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 colourway drops, we add one asset for it; all sizes of that colourway share it.

Where it helps a sneakers store

Typical moments for lifestyle and casual sneaker retailers.

Silhouette doubts

Shoppers see chunky, low-profile and tongue height on their own foot, not only in a hero shot.

Bold colourways

Loud and limited colourways are easier to commit to after seeing them worn.

Year-round ranges and launches

AR try-on works for the sneakers you sell all year. For launch windows, see Sneaker Drop 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 new arrivals 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 sneakers

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, three-quarter front and sole.

Sneaker-specific tips

Keep laces, tongue, toe cap and sole fully in frame and sharp. Shoot the same pair in the same orientation for every angle, and add a close-up of any panel or material that differs from the rest of the shoe.

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 sneaker and lifestyle footwear retailers evaluating AR try-on.

Is Sneakers AR a clothing try-on?

No. Wearfits AR is for shoes and bags only. Sneakers AR shows a 3D sneaker on the shopper's foot so they can judge silhouette, colourway and look. It is not clothing try-on or apparel Gen-AI try-on.

How is Sneakers AR different from Sneaker Drop AR?

Sneakers AR is for lifestyle and casual sneaker ranges you sell year-round. Sneaker Drop AR is for timed launches and limited windows where shoppers want to see the shoe on their foot before stock sells out. Both use the same Wearfits AR try-on.

Does AR tell a shopper whether a sneaker will fit?

No. AR shows how the sneaker looks on the foot: shape, colourway, tongue and sole profile. It does not measure the foot or rate width or cushioning. Keep your size guide and fit notes on the product page.

How many 3D assets do I need for a sneakers range?

One 3D asset per model, colour and material. A new colourway or upper material needs its own asset. A new shoe size of the same model reuses the existing asset.

Can we run Sneakers 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.
