Hints: buying shoes on the Internet
10/23/2015
You
know that moment when you get the perfect pair of shoes, but it turns
out that there are no your size? Or the color is wrong? Plus the
price is so outrageously high? It's a real nightmare.
The
solution? Online stores. Still to
many people it seems like a bad
idea to buy shoes on the internet, although such purchases
have many advantages. First of all, we save the time that we spend in
shops searching for footwear. You can type what you search in the
browser and instantly you will find a whole range of products.
Secondly, you can find cheaper shoes or discount codes to use in the
shop. We can also compare prices and use advanced searching option
(including filters). Everyone is happy when the money are saved to
spend on the other pleasures :) Third – buying imported shoes,
which are not available in your country. I think that this may be
tempting. Besides it's better to make a
decision in the comfort of your home – without the pressure and
unnecessary stress. We can always add an item to ,,wishlist” and
wait a few days, before we finalize the purchase.
Many
times I buy shoes online, with various
success at the beginning, but over time I have developed a certain
workflow and it made my choice an instant
hit!
An
example of good online store? Here you are :)
EscapeShoes
is a shop from Portugal, which has in offer a lot of well-known
brands, including Timberland, Birckenstock, UGG, Melissa... I
recommend you to explore this site on you own, because it's not the
main topic of this post.
1.
Know your size
If
you buy in online shop for the first time, you should know basic
thing like the length of your foot. It seems trivial,
but some people still don't remember
that the sizes are unequal, so don't sugesst the fact that you
usually pick one size, because the store may have custom sizes. There
are models which are oversized/undersized
and to know what shoes will be good to you, you will need: piece of
paper, pencil and a ruler.

You
should put the foot flat on a piece of paper and mark where it ends
or outline it whole. Then measure the distance from longest toe and
end of the heel and voila! You already
know the lenght of your insert / foot .
It's
the easiest and fastest way. In online stores often with the shoe
size is also given the length of the insert /
sole. Knowing the length of foot you are able to determine
what size it the best for you. When you hesitate, you should consider
the size of 0,5 cm bigger, then you are sure, that the shoes will be
not too small.

If
you're still not sure, it's worth to check which size will be
sugessted by counselors from the shop. There are even appropriate
forms to send, where you enter what size you are interested in and
get more information on your personal e-mail.
2. Pay
attention to the construction of your feet
Another
issue about which only few people remember. We all are not the same –
look around you nearest surrounding and compare: who has a problem
with choosing high-hells and why (high arc of the foot or bunion) or
can't wear flats because feels in them incomfortable? Besides, there
are number of feet diseases and vary length of the fingers. For
example – I can't wear my mothers shoes, because she has a wider
foot than me.

In
addition to the lenght of the insert, you should also know certain
characteristic features of your feet. You probably have your
favourite shoes, which are the most comfortable and you shouldn't buy
a beautiful high heels with spitz, because they are fashionable.
Consider the anatomy of your feet! Earlier you can go to a stationary
store and try similar pair of shoes and check if you are able to walk
in it. Or put the shoe on foot.
(again I refer to a high instep).

3.
Meet the pictograms
You
should know if the shoes are actually made of real leather or just
with the ecological. A lot of people don't pay attention to the
pictograms placed on label and after a year they are suprised that
the exterior begins to peel or break.

Knowing
the material from which the shoes are made, you can find the right
cosmetics for their care and know
the
proper way of treating them.
Cleaning fluids for leather are not suitable for ecological one.
Suede also requires special care. Pasting from time to time would
make shoes better looking. Get to know in advance the basic methods
of care before you mess the shoes! Knowing the material, you can
roughly determine if it's stiff or how the shoe is able to
,,disperse”.
or...
That's
why it's so important to read the descriptions! Rather than just
,,material: textile”, you have clearly indication with what
materials.
4.
Know your rights as a customer
Before
buying – read the rules. It's not made to make you bored, just show
what rights you're / you have when
conclude a transaction with the seller. As a standard in most stores
you have 10 to 14 days to return the shoes without giving any reason
(undamaged and unused!). In some cases, you can also rely on the
guarantee, you should know how long it's valid. And you know how to
act in case of complaint? No? Come back and read the rules ;) When
you make conscious shopping, the key may be the option to return –
easy procedure and low costs are a bargaining chip when you choose a
trusted seller.

5.
Other
If
you have the opportunity to try on the dream shoes in stationary shop
– do it! You can then compare sizes, see if they are comfortable
and good-looking. In addition, you'll see how they look in real! And
what is the color or is the material suitable for you. Only then you
can make a final decision about buying new shoes ;)
