Quite a few times I've done exactly what the brick & mortar stores fear. I've tried on a pair shoes at a store and then I've gone home and bought the same shoes cheaper on the internet.
I've done the same with many other products. It may not seem fair to the store owners for me to use them as a showroom but why should I pay them more if I can find something cheaper online?
I Looove the internet!

And more importantly, is there red leather involved (answer carefully, in case I decide to share your response with the Swede)?
Sometimes it seems as though one has to cross the line just to figger out where it is
Re: I Looove the internet!
That! I have NEVER had shoes fit that I didn't try on first. I wear a 10, 10.5, or an 11...but I have fit in everything from a 10 D to an 11 E. (Right now, wearing Red Wings, size 11D.) Making this harder, many boots (my preferred footwear) are not sold in half sizes.Lord Jim wrote:There are a lot of things I'm prepared to buy on the internet...(Books, DVDs...a pristine copy of "Holiday Sing-Along with Mitch" ) but I would not buy shoes that way...
It has been my experience, that depending on how the shoe is cut, I can wear anything from a '10" to a '10 and a half' to an 11...
And that may not sound like much of a difference, but as any man can attest, even a half size is a considerable difference when it comes to footwear....
There's no way that I would spend any money on a pair of shoes I hadn't tried on...

Re: I Looove the internet!
I mostly wear Merrells and they seem to hold their size pretty consistently so while I haven't bought them online I have grabbed a box and went directly to checkout
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

size 10- 10 1/2 on one foot, 11 on the other. Either I try them on, or I don't buy them. I'll pay brick and mortar prices if the shoes fit and I don't have the hassel of sending them back.
Besides, i look for sales and use coupons and store credits. Never does anything really cost what it says on the tag.

Re: I Looove the internet!
I used to use Zappos but they don't carry the shoes I wanted anymore. And Zappos is now Amazon which dilutes the customer loyalty thing a lot. Ok, completely.Guinevere wrote:Zappos.com. Free shipping, free return shipping.

Re: I Looove the internet!
Most of what I buy over the internet are parts to fix things like the vacume cleaner, motorcycle, range hood and the like. Many years ago I ordered a floppy type of hat from hats.com and I got a pith helmet. Sent it back and canceled the order. (I think they are out of business, no wonder)
