Online shopping will always have a bit of risk, but experience makes it easier. I try to look for real photos of the insoles and soles, not only the outside of the shoe. Price is important to me, but quality and comfort are even more important in the long run. I like when they mention whether the fabric has stretch or not, that detail matters a lot. If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test. You can find one of the pages here: see more details Recently I have been testing several online eyewear shops to compare frames and lenses. I try to look for real photos of the insoles and soles, not only the outside of the shoe. When I test a new shop I usually start with one or two items instead of a huge order. Shipping speed is not everything, but extremely slow delivery is very annoying. Sometimes I still make mistakes with size, so a friendly exchange policy is very helpful. Some charts are very generic and do not match real measurements at all. For things that I use every day, I prefer to pay a bit more if the quality is stable. Hope this helps someone. |
