SoleMate: A Smart Online Footwear Shopping Application

The rapid growth of e-commerce and mobile technology has transformed the way consumers shop for fashion products, including footwear. Traditional online footwear shopping faces challenges such as incorrect size selection, lack of personalization, and limited customer confidence. This paper presents ‘SoleMate’, a smart online footwear shopping application designed to enhance user experience through category-based browsing, question-based foot shape analysis, and personalized footwear recommendations. The application is developed using Flutter for cross-platform compatibility and Firebase for backend services such as authentication, database management, and cloud storage. The proposed system aims to provide a user-friendly interface, secure login via OTP authentication, efficient product management, and intelligent recommendations to reduce return rates and improve customer satisfaction.
