Tips for Buying Shoes Online

So, if these charts aren’t 100% definitive, how can you determine whether or not you’re getting the right shoe from an online seller? Here’s a few tips to help you out with this.

1. Know Your Size

Sizes vary between brands. Measure your feet in inches or centimeters and use the brand’s size chart for a match. Some brands offer wide or narrow options. If your feet are broader or slimmer than average, look for these options.

2. Read the Reviews

Look for comments about sizing. Do the shoes run large, small, or true to size? Check what others say about the comfort level. Are they good for all-day wear? Reviews with photos show how shoes look off the website.

3. Look for Detailed Descriptions and Images

Zoom in to see the texture and finer details. Some sites offer a 360-degree view for a better overall look. Read for info on fit, arch support, and insole quality.
