To find the perfect footwear, you need to look way beyond the size, number, and style. You need to consider things like your foot’s structure, arch type, pressure points, and gait to make a more educated decision.

Picking a shoe by only looking at the size can do you more harm than good. A shoe that doesn’t fit your foot’s specifications can cause several issues, like joint, heel, and arch pains.

What you need is a way to accurately determine your foot type, and that is what Aetrex Foot Scanner & Fit Technology is all about. Our technology combines 3D imaging and pressure mapping with AI to customize the best comfort shoes that not only look good but also take the best care of your feet.

This blog looks into the Aetrex foot scanner and fit technology in detail, highlighting how it can help you customize the best fits for yourself or your customers, so keep on reading till the end.

What is Aetrex Foot Scanner and Fit Technology?

Finding a perfect pair of shoes for your feet involves more than what meets the eye. You need a detailed picture of what your feet look like to make an educated decision.

You can easily do that by using the Aetrex foot scanner, which is a sophisticated device that scans your feet and creates an accurate 3D model depicting its length, size, arch type, arch height, pressure distribution, and gait analysis.

This technology employs advanced barometric sensors and 3D imaging to collect key foot data, which is then processed by an AI software to generate personalized recommendations and insights.

The following are some key features of Aetrex foot scanners.

• These scanners can help pinpoint exactly where you might be feeling the pain and then recommend products that will prove most effective.

• These scanners can use your foot data to make sure you are able to walk pain-free while wearing your shoes.

• Our scanners can map your feet’s width, girth, instep height, and 13 other data points to create an accurate 3D picture.

• Aetrex scanners can determine your arch type and high-pressure foot areas and recommend the best-fitting shoes in a matter of 10 seconds.

How Does it Work?

Aetrex foot scanners are high-precision devices that can analyze the shape, structure, and biomechanics of your feet to a high degree of accuracy. These tools use a combination of 3D imaging, laser scanning, pressure mapping, and biometric sensing technologies to collect key data about your feet.

With these scanners, you can find

• Foot length and Width

• Arch Height

• Sole Pressure Distribution

• Gait Patterns

• Pronation (how your foot rolls inward or outward)

• Balance and symmetry 

The following is how these scanners work.

1. Depending on the type of scanner, you either stand or walk on its platform barefoot.

2. Then the scanner starts collecting data about your foot’s length, width, heel alignment, pressure distribution, and several other factors.

3. It does that by using its 3D cameras, laser or infrared sensors, and barometric pressure plates. 

4. This data is sent to an AI-powered system that compares your foot info with a huge database of other scans.

5. With this comparison, the AI detects biomechanical patterns and potential risk factors.

6. Based on the results of the scan, AI recommends a shoe whose size, style, orthotics, insoles, and alignment are all according to your feet.

The scanner and AI generate a 3D model of your feet with a heat map indicating pressure points and a summary of the results to help you make a better decision about choosing the right footwear for women or men.

Types of Aetrex Foot Scanners

The following are the two main types of foot scanners offered by Aetrex.

• Albert 2 Pro Scanner

This is an easy-to-use scanner that gives you 3D measurements, pressure data, and AI Footwear & Orthotic Recommendations to help you find the best-fitting footwear for men and women.

This scanner can capture key static and dynamic pressure data about the feet in under 20 seconds, making it a perfect choice for use in retail stores. 

• Albert 3DFit Scanner

The Aetrex Albert 3D fit scanner is another sophisticated tool that uses 3-dimensional foot scanning technologies and AI footwear matching software to help retailers and consumers find the perfect fitting footwear.

These scanners come with 4 Intel® RealSense™ depth cameras, a FitGenius™ plug-in tool for retailers, voice activation software, and a learning center to help customers know more about their foot health and hygiene.

How Can AI Customize a Perfect Fit for You?

The job of the Aetrex foot scanner is to scan your feet and gather valuable data about its key features. After the scan, the AI software is responsible for processing this data and generating recommendations.

Here is how AI performs this important role.

• The AI compares the data generated by the scanner with a massive database of other foot scans. It identifies patterns and potential issues in your biomechanics.

• Based on this comparison, it recommends shoes with the right width and size for each foot.

• It also recommends insoles with the right arch support, cushioning, and stability.

• To correct gait issues or relieve pressure, it recommends custom orthotics as well.

The Importance of Aetrex Foot Scanner and Fit Technology: The Aetrex Fit Philosophy

Aetrex foot scanner technology is designed to facilitate both consumers and retailers by making the process of finding the right footwear easy and error-free.

Here is what makes this technology stand out.

• Accurate 3D Data

These scanners look at the dorsal, plantar, anterior, posterior, medial, and lateral aspects of your foot to find an optimal fit.

• Equal Pressure Distribution 

The shoes recommended by these scanners give you equal distribution of weight in the gait cycle by promoting total contact and transferring pressure away from sensitive areas. This reduces strain and enhances comfort.

• Full Alignment and Support

The perfect fit recommended by these scanners provides proper body alignment and prevents over-pronation. By keeping your feet close to their neutral position, this footwear reduces strain on knees, hips, and back.

• Customized Orthotic Recommendations

Perfect-fit footwear gives you better cushioning and shock absorption. With the Aetrex foot scanner, you can determine the right orthotic material that fits your foot type perfectly and doesn’t feel tight.

• Right Size Every Time

Different shoe brands and manufacturers have slightly different shoe sizes for the same numbers. This is why, to find an optimal fit, you need to use Aetrex foot scanners that look at your specific foot structure. This allows you to find the perfect-fitting shoe every single time.

 

Conclusion

Aetrex foot scanner and fit technology uses powerful sensors, 3D imaging, and AI to give you customized footwear recommendations. This technology has made the process of finding the right footwear easier, more efficient, and error-free.

With the power of AI, you can eliminate the guesswork and focus on key indicators to find products that give you ultimate comfort, support, style, and health.

So, the next time you are out buying a perfect pair of shoes or you wish to give your customers the best footwear recommendations, try using the Aetrex foot scanners to get the best value for your money.
