About

Enabling better fitting products

Shoes that do not fit cause problems and pain for the feet. The footwear industry cannot sufficiently analyze the foot inside the shoe. Capskin has developed with patented sensor technology in combination with AI a sensor sock that can measure pressure around the foot and foot movement in the shoe. It enables a more cost-efficient development cycle for shoe developers. The mature technology is used for a shoe fitting solution which allows end users to find the right fitting shoes for their feet.

Capskin AG is a start-up company based in Zurich, Switzerland, founded as a spin-off from ETH Zurich in 2020. Capskin sensor and AI technology enables ergonomically better fitting products and improves human performance and well-being substantially. The solution comprises novel thin, wearable sensors, that can measure pressure, shape, and motion. The sensor data is interpreted and displayed by the Capskin Software. The first product is the Capskin Sensor Sock with the ability to measure in-shoe pressure all around the foot, enabling the footwear industry to develop better fitting shoes and end customers to find better fitting shoes.
