Shoefitr is software that helps online shoe shoppers find the best-fitting shoe when shopping online. We ask a shopper what shoe and size he currently wears, compare it to the shoe he wants to buy, and recommend the best-fitting size. We accomplish this with a database of internal shoe measurements acquired using 3D scanning technology. Our software interprets the raw scan data and makes meaningful size/shoe recommendations.
You may have read about us in TechCrunch, Time Magazine, CNet, or on Hacker News. We just closed a competitive Series A. We’re hot. And we’re looking for a talented front-end engineer to help us shape the future of Internet apparel retail.
