Buying Shoes Online

·

Does anyone buy shoes online? I never do it as I am so picky about the fit of a shoe. That, and I find they very often don't have my size 13 (46). I was surfing the shoe sales over at gilt.com and found these.

I freakin' love these shoes. Either one would make me happy but both are sold out and not available in my size anyways ;(

I get the feeling I would like a lot of Elia Maurizi shoes.

I seems impossible to believe they are $149 when the retail price is like $500-600. I just wish they had my size.

These last ones would be so nice if I lived somewhere that dry and clean instead wet and dirty. Imagine how disgusting they would be after one week of life in Buffalo. Imagine how nice they would look on white carpet.

    Those are are cute, so you for sure. Too bad about them being sold out. I'm sure they will get more in stock soon.

    I buy footwear all the time online. Much more selection. Zappos includes the cost of shipping and return shipping so you know exactly how much you will pay. Unfortunately online shopping you do find lots of things you really want that are out of stock. At the stores you just wouldn't see it. I definitely read reviews.

    Grrr, how elitist that Gilt website. I don't want to become a member, I just want to look at their shoes.

    I have bought shoes online only when I have worn the brand before and know the size. The fit is usually the same. You could always send them back if they don't fit

    I have never bought Shoes or boots online ..... Sneaker sizes vary by company Nike's used to run right and some one else run big and wide so you really need to try them on.... I have no idea if this is true boot wise......

    Heh, I love the last shoes. How cute! :-) I bet they are awesome for dancing. Are they on gilt as well? Imagine if you walked on the beach, you would have a string of little cute birds following you...

    I bought 2 pairs of shoes online. I hate one pair and love one pair... so I guess its a hit or miss. I am too lazy to pack stuff up and return them. That is a drawback of online shopping.

    If I got that last shoe, I cut put cross my legs, turn up the soles and chuckle at that funny bird in dull meetings. Imagine the potential.
