Saw this, thought all climbing shoe sufferers would be interested:

The Snapfeet app allows the customer to wear the shoes virtually via their phone thanks to Augmented Reality (AR) and find their perfect shoe fit in a few moments.

Snapfeet creates, in real time, an accurate 3D copy of the user's feet. In a few seconds it is possible to make a 3D model of both feet, simply by taking a few mobile phone photographs from different viewpoints.

Using the user's foot shape and comparing it to the shoe geometry, Snapfeet is then able to recommend the correct size for each type of shoe, communicating to the user the degree of comfort that can be achieved in the different parts of the foot: toe, instep, heel and sole.

I prefer to listen to the oinks of my piggies.
