Growing kids need to size up their footwear frequently, and with Aetrex’s 3D foot scanners and personalized shoe size recommendations, in-store shopping has become a more enjoyable experience for both kids and adults.
According to industry data, kids ages four to six are likely to change shoe sizes up to three times per year, and yet just one in three kids wears the appropriate shoe size for their feet. Aetrex’s premium 3D foot scanner, Albert 2 Pro, includes a friendly monster named Tootsie who guides children through the customized shoe-fitting experience. Tootsie provides the encouragement kids need to stand still, which only takes a few seconds thanks to the rapid scanning technology, and offers a more pleasant experience that replaces the standard Brannock device with an engaging, modern alternative.
