Getting the right fit is undeniably the most important part of shoe shopping and it remains the most challenging without the right support and technologies like [AI-powered footwear fitting solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tootsie-augmented-reality). Consumers frequently encounter frustrations when it comes to finding footwear that fits properly, as varying shoe sizes, inconsistent sizing standards, and individual foot characteristics make it a challenging task to discover comfortable and well-fitting shoes. These frustrations have the potential to become challenges of the past with [Volumental's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volumental) FitTech platform, which is now being implemented by Ombori.

Going forward, Ombori's new StoreAI extension to Ombori Grid will include AI-powered solutions to match customers' foot size, shape and shoe data.

OmboriGrid CEO Andreas Hassellöf said, "AI for retail is so much more than chatbots. Volumental is a great example of that."
