Executive summary
AI answer engines now help Indian shoppers decide where to buy shoes, how to pay less, how to get the size right and how to avoid fakes. We ran 25 questions across five categories with live web search. The run produced 375 citations from 195 unique domains.
Amazon leads on 21.6 percent, ahead of Metro on 20.8 and Myntra on 15.2. GrabOn, a coupon site, ranks fourth on 14.4. Bata, India's largest footwear company by revenue, scores 6.4, and Relaxo and Campus never rank.
The sharper finding sits in the sources. Kicks Machine, an independent sneaker reseller, supplies 11 citations and leads the fakes category, so resellers explain how to spot fakes. Sneaker resellers and stores supply about 36 citations.

Visibility score method: each question ranks five entities. Rank one earns 1.00 point, rank two 0.80, down to 0.20 for rank five. Scores are totaled across 25 questions and divided by 25. Every entity named is ranked, whatever its type.
Type shows what kind of organization each entity is. AI engines name sneaker resellers, coupon sites, cashback sites, lawyers, police and a government helpline alongside footwear brands, store chains and marketplaces. All of them are ranked here, because all of them take up space in the answer.

Categories and why we chose them
We chose five categories that follow a shoe buyer: where to buy, how to pay less through sales, outlets and coupons, how to get the size right and return a pair, how to avoid fakes, and where to buy sneakers, sports and occasion footwear.
| # | Category name | Reason for selection |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Where to buy shoes | The first decision any shoe buyer makes is where to buy. Answers about websites, store chains, sports shoes, school shoes and everyday brands decide which retailer gets the sale, so this category carries the most commercial value and forces engines to name specific stores. |
| 2 | Prices, sales and offers | Shoe shopping in India runs on end of season sales, outlets and coupons. Questions about sale timing, the lowest prices, factory outlets, coupons and online against store prices show who the engines trust to explain value. |
| 3 | Size, fit and returns | Fit is the main reason shoes bought online go back. Questions about sizing, size systems, returns, early damage and wide feet test whether engines point shoppers to brands, marketplaces or consumer law when a pair does not work out. |
| 4 | Fakes and authenticity | Fake branded sneakers and first copy shoes are a large market in India. These questions show who the engines rely on to say what is genuine, whether resellers and Instagram sellers are safe, and where to complain. |
| 5 | Sneakers, sports and occasion footwear | Sneakers, running shoes, formal shoes, wedding juttis and shoes for elderly parents are high value or high care purchases. Questions about where to buy them show whether engines send shoppers to brand stores, specialists, resellers or marketplaces. |

Question 2.5
Is it cheaper to buy shoes online or in a store in India?

Question 3.5
