The Importance of a 3D Configurator for High Heels

Fashion is subjective, and shoes (especially high heels) are extensions of who we are as people. However, while e-commerce has changed how we shop for high heel footwear, it still cannot take away the tactile, visual, and emotional experience of purchasing shoes in a store setting.

A 3D high heel shoe configurator gives the customer the ability to:

• Customize style, heel height, and toe shape on the fly.
• Preview materials and colors with hyper-realistic detail
• Rotate and zoom the shoes in 360 degrees.
• Virtually try-on the shoes using AR; giving customers confidence in their purchase.

This technology allows customers to experience the level of luxury associated with the in-store experience while still enjoying the ease of shopping online.

How a High Heel Configurator Operates

The process of a High Heel Shoe 3D Configurator is purposefully created to be engaging and interactive.

• Choose the Base Style – Stilettos, pumps, block heels, wedges or slingbacks.
• Choose the Material – Leather, suede, satin or eco-friendly synthetic fabrics.
• Choose the Colors – From timeless neutrals to bold metallics or pastels.
• Choose the Height of the Heel – Choices between a comfy 2-in to a statement 6-in stiletto.
• Choose the Toe Shape – Pointed, rounded, peep-toe, or square.
• Choose Embellishments – Crystals, bow's, buckles or engraving.
• 360 View - Rotate and zoom to check every angle.
• Augmented Reality Try On - Virtually fit the custom shoe on to your foot.
• Real Time Pricing - Added value (materal and features) as created with transparency.

This type of guided customization makes customers feel like co-creators of the product not just passive mobs of consumers.
