#2This pain point is one of the reasons I do not buy pants or shoes online.
This is amazing execution of the idea, and I hope they get bought out for the millions they deserve! Or, if they'd prefer to grow it organically, that too!

They have a fantastic product. I was extremely impressed with how well it worked. To top it off, Matt seemed like a really great guy when I interviewed him.

#4Yes! I've been wanting someone to make this product for a long time.[1] So glad y'all did it.
The execution looks amazing. I can't wait for this to be ubiquitous.

#5Genius idea! I always take a stab at sizing online (I think men's foot sizes are more flexible than women's), but I still don't know if I'm a 10, a 10.5, or an 11!

#6Considering that Amazon is currently looking to hire people for the sole purpose of trying on shoes... Yes, they need this tech.

#9I was initially confused by the demo.
Potential use cases
1. I have a perfect fitting shoe, I'd like to buy another perfect fitting shoe of a different brand.
2. I haven't found the perfect fitting shoe. I'd like to find one.
I assumed this would be solving problem #2, but it solves problem #1.
I thought I would tell it "I'm currently in shoe X, and it's the right length but chafes on the right side" or something of that nature, and it would tell me a better shoe.

#10I would consider buying a new pair of shoes today through these guys if they supported more than running shoes.
That said, what stops someone getting the size recommendation through ShoeFitr and then comparison shopping for the actual shoes? I don't think this stops them being valuable to Amazon, but it does seem like a weakness if they're independent.
