Aetrex, a global market leader in foot scanning technology and data-driven orthotics and comfort footwear, has launched its new children’s foot scanning technology, Tootsie. Available within the software of Aetrex’s premium 3D foot scanner, Albert 2 Pro, the program features a friendly monster named Tootsie who guides children through the foot scanning process in a fun and educational way. With each foot scan, the software provides comprehensive and accurate 3D foot measurements and a recommended shoe size. The new software is gaining momentum in over 1,000 retail doors in the U.S., including Tradehome and select DSW stores. They have recently implemented Tootsie with the goal to provide a fun and easy shoe shopping experience for both children and their parents, while driving traffic and customer loyalty.
Following the initial foot scan, Tootsie sends parents a six-month reminder to get their children’s feet re-scanned, ensuring kids have proper fitting shoes year-round for their rapidly growing feet.
