Size from scan
AR shoe size scan
An AR shoe size scan turns a short phone capture into a size suggestion for a specific shoe model — including a fit heatmap that shows where a last runs roomy or tight.
Last updated October 2026 · arfits.com editorial
Brand lasts differ. Measuring your foot once is not enough if Model A runs long and Model B runs narrow. The AR scan pairs your measurements with model-specific fit logic.
What you get after the scan
- Foot length and ball girth (existing claim: within ±2 mm of a podiatrist scan, ~99% accuracy, guidance-dependent).
- A recommendation card for the selected shoe.
- A fit heatmap — roomy (teal) vs tight (coral) zones; tap a half-size to recompute.
When to use AR scan vs ruler
Use the phone scan when you want speed and girth with the guided flow. Use paper and ruler when you are offline or validating a surprising result — manual guide. Compare approaches on fit tech comparison.
