The short answer
To find shoes you saw in a video, send the Reel or clip to FOUND, or upload a screenshot where the shoes are fully in frame. FOUND picks out the shoes along with the rest of the outfit, and shows pairs from Indian stores labelled Likely match, Very similar or Similar. Confirm details and size on the store’s page.

Step by step
How to identify shoes from a video
Shoes are often at the edge of the frame, so a little care with the first step pays off.
Send a clip where the shoes show
Share or paste a public Reel link, or tap Upload a video. If the shoes only appear for a moment, pause there and upload a screenshot instead.
Find the shoes in the look
FOUND reads up to 12 still frames and lists each piece it sees. Tap the shoes, sneakers, heels or juttis in the look.
Check the pair before you buy
Compare the sole, colours and logo placement with the video, then check sizes and returns on the store’s own page.
Can you identify shoes from a video?
Yes, as long as at least one frame shows them clearly. Shoes are the piece people ask about most in comments (“shoe details?”) and the piece Reels show least well: they’re at the bottom of the frame, they move fast, and they’re often half-hidden by a hem or cut off entirely.
FOUND is an outfit finder by Sitio Labs, on Android and in your browser, listed on Google Play as Found: Find outfits from reels. It reads up to 12 still frames from a public Reel or a video you upload, and finds every piece of the outfit, shoes included. Then it searches Indian online stores for each one.
How do you get a clear look at the shoes?
FOUND can only find what it can see, and shoes need a bit more help than a jacket:
- Pick a clip where the feet are in frame. Walking shots, mirror selfies and “outfit check” Reels that pan down are the best.
- Pause on a still moment. A shoe mid-step is a blur. A shoe standing still shows its shape, sole and colours.
- Screenshot the whole shoe. If the shoes appear for only a second, pause there and screenshot, with the toe and heel both in view.
- Side views help most. The side shows the sole, the heel height and the logo, which are what separate one pair from another.
- Don’t zoom in too far. A zoomed video goes blurry. A sharp full frame is better than a blurry close-up.

What details tell one pair from another?
Many sneakers and heels look alike in a quick video. When you compare products, these are the details worth checking against the clip:
| Detail | What to look at | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Silhouette | Low-top, high-top, chunky, slim, pointed or round toe | It rules out most of the wrong pairs at once |
| Sole | Thickness, colour, gum or white, platform or flat | Often the clearest detail in a video |
| Colour blocking | Which panels are which colour | Two pairs in the same colours can be arranged differently |
| Logo and branding | Where it sits and its shape | Placement can be checked even when the logo is blurry |
| Material | Leather, suede, canvas, knit, patent | Changes how the shoe reflects light on camera |
| Fastening | Laces, straps, buckles, slip-on | Easy to see and easy to check |
For Indian footwear, look at the toe shape and embroidery of juttis and mojaris, and the strap style of kolhapuris.
What does FOUND show for shoes?
For each piece, FOUND searches Indian online stores by image and by description, then ranks the products. Each one carries an honest label:
- Likely match: it could be the same pair.
- Very similar: close in cut, colour and pattern.
- Similar: the same type of piece with the same overall look.
Price in ₹, stock, delivery and returns appear only when the store lists them. FOUND never claims an exact match is guaranteed; read how to check whether it’s the exact product before you buy.
How do you avoid fake sneakers online?
FOUND can’t tell you whether a product is genuine, so this part is on you. A few habits help:
- Buy branded pairs from the brand or an authorised seller. On marketplaces, check the seller’s name, not just the brand on the listing.
- Be wary of a price far below everywhere else. Listings calling themselves “first copy” or “master copy” are telling you they’re not the real brand.
- Read reviews with photos. Customer photos show the stitching, sole and box better than product shots.
- Check the returns policy before you pay. If the pair isn’t what you expected, you want a way to send it back.

How do shoe sizes work when you order online?
Most Indian stores list shoe sizes in UK sizes, and some add EU or US sizes too. Brands fit differently, so check the size chart on the product page, and measure your foot length if the chart gives centimetres. FOUND doesn’t give size advice; the store’s page is the final word.
Can you find the rest of the outfit too?
Yes. FOUND finds every piece it can see, so the same Reel gives you the jacket, the jeans and the bag as well as the shoes. Shop this look lists one option per piece with the total, and our guide to shopping the look on a budget helps you decide which piece is worth spending on.
Try it with the Reel you saved: open FOUND in your browser, or share it from Instagram to the Android app. The free plan includes 3 analyses a month.
Can FOUND identify sneakers from a Reel?
Yes, when they’re clearly visible. FOUND treats shoes as a piece of the outfit, alongside clothes, bags, sunglasses and jewellery.
Shoes are often cut off or blurred in Reels, so a clip or screenshot where they’re fully in frame helps a lot.
Why did FOUND miss the shoes?
Usually because no frame shows them clearly: they’re out of frame, blurred by movement, or hidden by a long hem.
Pause on the clearest moment, take a screenshot that includes the whole shoe, and upload that.
Can FOUND tell me the shoe model name?
FOUND shows products for sale that match or look similar, with each store’s own product name.
It doesn’t promise an exact model from a video. A Likely match label means it could be the same pair; confirm the details on the store’s page.
Does FOUND tell me if a pair is genuine?
No. FOUND can’t verify whether a product is genuine; buy branded shoes from the brand or a seller you trust.
Can I find shoes from a screenshot?
Yes. Upload the screenshot and FOUND identifies the shoes and anything else it can see in the outfit.
