With the integration of a 3D configurator for shoes, a wish comes true for many women. With just a few clicks you can configure your own personal shoe.
Some providers have been offering this service for quite some time now. In this article we would like to analyze two 3D configurators for shoes a little closer and make an assessment according to different criteria.
First of all, let’s take a look at the 3D shoe configurator from the US clothing manufacturer Nike.
In a first step, the user can choose from a total of 6 different models.
Online configurators revolutionized the options to create individual products in different sectors. The most provider offering only solutions in 2D. With an innovative 3D configurator companies can stands out from the competition.
In a first step, we decide on the model Air Max 90 Ultra 2.0 Flyknit.
The selected shoe can be viewed from a total of 6 different 2D views. The user can design the upper material, tongue, mudguard, heel, upper eyelet area, laces, swoosh, midsole, midsole, midsole wedge, airbag, outsole and text.
After going through the individual configurations, user can develop their personal shoe.
The shoe can then be placed in the shopping cart and ordered after entering further personal data.
Overall, the 3D configurator for shoes is very easy to use and offers a wide range of design options. In addition, the user can view the shoe from almost any perspective.
However, the user should have at least basic stylistic knowledge, so that a successful combination can be created at the end.
Another supplier is the company Shoevita. Here the user can choose from 16 different basic models. You can choose between ballerinas or pumps. We choose the pumps.
Afterwards the user has the possibility to define the colors for the upper, the inner leather, the sole, the heel and the heel spot. In addition, the height of the heel and other optional decoration components such as verifications, caps, straps or edging strips can be selected.
The configured model can be viewed in a 3D view from different perspectives. When selecting additional components, an integrated price display automatically adjusts itself to the selected components.
Before the purchase the customer has to state his shoe size and width. After entering personal data, the configured shoe will be sent.
Using Shoevita’s 3D Shoe Configurator is a bit more complex than using Nike. The user interface is slightly confusing and not very clear. In addition, the quality of the graphical presentation leaves much to be desired.
After all, the configurator offers a 3D view. The biggest problem seems to be that the configurator cannot give a 100% realistic image of the future shoe. So purchasing here involves a certain amount of risk.
