From sneakers to heels: This AI tool lets you preview footwear virtually

As Diwali celebrations are almost here, many are searching for new footwear to complete their festive outfits. Now, Google is bringing a digital and modern solution to help shoppers make choices before heading to stores. The tech giant has expanded its AI-powered virtual try-on feature to include footwear, allowing shoppers to see how shoes look on them without stepping into a store. The update arrives just in time for the festival, making it easier to explore festive looks and pick shoes for celebrations.

The new feature will let users experiment with various footwear types, from sneakers to heels, directly within Google Search. According to Google's blog, the rollout has started for select users in the US and will expand to Australia, Canada, and Japan over the coming weeks.

First showcased at Google I/O, the Try-On feature was focused on clothing. Now, it extends to shoes using AI models that analyze body shapes, lighting, and depth to create realistic previews. The system maps shoes onto a full-length photo of the user while retaining details such as texture, folds, and proportions. This offers a close-to-real experience of seeing the shoes on oneself before making a purchase.

Using the feature is straightforward. Users can tap any product listing on Google, select the “Try it on” button, and upload a full-length photo. The AI then applies the chosen footwear to the user's image. For instance, a person's white sneakers can be transformed into black heels or boots, allowing for quick comparisons across multiple styles.
