Three places to find shoes by picture

2. Google Shopping

I know everyone’s familiar with Google, but a lot of people forget about Google Shopping, which is a more useful search tool if you’re looking for something specific. As with ShopStyle, you can simply type your search term into the box, and browse through the results. My search for those red and white striped shoes turned up this little lot:

Again, it’s not perfect, but, as with ShopStyle, you can filter the results to get a closer match, and Google Shopping also trawls eBay, which gives you a better chance of finding something that’s no longer available in stores.

If you have a photo of the shoes you’re looking for, meanwhile – or shoes that are similar to the ones you’re looking for – Google Images allows you to upload the image and find similar results: just click on the camera icon in the search bar to start.  This is really useful if you’ve found shoes you love, but don’t know who makes them!
