Do you remember how you browsed for a shoe online and wished to try it on before you placed your order? You wish to see how the shoe looks from different angles. 

However, you end up ordering a shoe you don't like how it looks when you eventually get it. Well, there is good news: you can now try a shoe on your phone’s screen without physically being at the store.

This cheery news was recently released on the blog of Amazon. The Virtual Try-On for Shoe feature gives you a visual picture of the shoe you are trying to buy on Amazon. The feature will offer customers shopping with the Amazon app fun and interactive experience. The innovative feature help customers try shoes on without leaving their location. The Virtual Try-On for Shoes work based on augmented reality. 

The Augmented Reality (AR) feature is available to users who own iPhone 7 or higher and is only available to customers in US and Canada. However, Android users don't need to wait for long because the shopping giant confirmed that the feature would soon be available on android.

All a customer needs to do is; tap the Virtual Try-On button below the shoe image, then point the camera at your feet. With that action, you would confirm how the shoe looks on your feet from every angle. In addition, you can use the carousel to see how different colours with the same style.

Customers can try shoes from brands like Adidas, Asics, Lacoste, New Balance, Puma, Reebok, Saucony, and Superga. According to Amazon, more brands and styles would be added to the lot as the experience increases. To confirm if the feature is available for any shoe, check the bottom of the product image for the Virtual Try-On button.

To make things more interesting, you can take photos of the shoes with the Virtual Try-On and save them on your device. You can also share the images on social media and print them if you like. Notably, Amazon does not have those photos; they are only stored on your phone or device.

This is not the first time Amazon would be coming up with such an app. The first time they did this was in 2017 when they launched one that allows customers to preview the look of a piece of furniture in their space. From there, they extended it to beauty products where customers could try makeup on their faces to see how it would look. 

It also used augmented reality on Amazon Salon so that walk-in clients could see how hairstyles and hair color would look on them before the stylist began. In addition to shoes, customers can also try the feature for glasses and Made for You custom-fit T-shirts. If you are in the US and/or Canada, you must scan the QR code on Amazon’s website to try the feature or type the "Virtual Try-On" within the Amazon iOS app to get there.
