Google’s Virtual Try-On Revolutionizes Shoe Shopping—What This Means for Your Next Purchase Worldwide

Ever wonder how much time you actually spend staring at shoes online, only to end up wondering if they’d look half decent on your feet? Well, Google’s AI-powered Try On feature is stepping up the game — literally — by adding shoes to its virtual wardrobe and stretching out to Australia, Canada, and Japan. Imagine uploading a full-length photo and, in seconds, seeing how those sleek sneakers or killer heels actually fit your shape, thanks to some seriously clever shape and depth perception tech. For marketers and advertisers, this isn’t just another gimmick; it’s a golden ticket to showcasing products in a way that feels personal and interactive — boosting engagement, conversions, and real-time insights on hot trends. Online shopping is no longer just about clicking “add to cart” — it’s about experiencing the product before you buy it, no matter where you are. Ready to try on the future? LEARN MORE.

Google’s AI-powered Try On feature, which lets users see how clothing items look on them, is adding shoes and expanding to Australia, Canada, and Japan.

How it works. The AI uses advanced shape and depth perception to show how items – now including sneakers and heels – fit your body.

  • Users upload a full-length photo, tap “try it on,” and see themselves in the item in seconds.

Why we care. For advertisers, this opens up a new frontier in online shopping. Brands can showcase products in a way that feels personalized and interactive, increasing engagement and the likelihood of conversions. Try On data also provides insights into which styles are popular and how customers are experimenting with different looks – giving advertisers real-time feedback on trends and demand.

Bottom line. Google is turning online shopping into a more interactive experience, letting users virtually try billions of products before making a purchase – now in more countries and more categories.
