how to buy shoes 3

Review the comments left by buyers. When you are looking at a particular pair of shoes online, scroll down to look for comments and reviews of the product. Customers who have already bought these shoes may provide important information about how the shoes fit. Avoid buying shoes that have received numerous poor reviews.^[14]

Make sure that return shipping is free. Shopping for shoes is always a bit of a gamble, so flexible return policies are key.^[15] Only buy shoes from websites that offer free return shipping on products that don't fit. Many companies will provide you with a prepaid shipping label for stress-free returns.^[16]

Compare prices on different websites to get the best deals. You can find good quality shoes at steep discounts online, particularly because of the competition between websites. Once you find a model of shoe that you like, research it online and compare the prices of several reliable sellers. If shoes are out of season or discontinued, you may find them at a fraction of their original retail price.^[17]

Shop on websites that feature large, multi-perspective pictures. When online shopping for shoes, you will have to rely heavily on images to gauge the product. Shop on websites with clear pictures that are big enough to show details such as stitching and texture.^[18] It is also helpful if the websites show each pair of shoes from multiple perspectives.^[19]
