Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.
I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM’s. It’s going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying “hey use me i’m better than google!!”
Frustrating.
I never understood how people order shoes online except if they already have that pair. I go to a real-world shop and try 10 pairs and honestly, 8 of them aren’t so great. I wouldn’t know how that works with Amazon or an AI.
I’d never buy any kind of clothing online. I’m not especially vain, I don’t even wear makeup, but if I can’t tell how it’s going to feel and look on my body, why would I trust it?
I just got a pair of Adidas on the Costco website for $16.76. I took a gamble and they are NICE. I can’t believe I got that deal. I’ll chance it at that cost.
most shoe sizes are the same. i wear 11.5. i’ve been wearing it for 20 years and probably had 100s of shoes of that size.
only time i ever have a different shoe size is for leather dress shoes or boots. which are typically sized down from a standard shoe size.
yeah, I’d say size is about right. not entirely, I have shoes plus or minus half a size, especially sport shoes (I don’t own more than one pair of dress shoes). And some brands are off, though they seem to be consistent with it. But mostly size works out for me as well. They seem to do a good job with that number. I meant more generally how they fit. They’d be all the right size and I’ll try them and walk around the aisles in the shop and some shoes are just way more comfortable to walk in than others.
