10 Online Shoe Shopping Tips - Part II

Tip #6 - Shop at Reputable Online Shoe Stores

Make sure to buy from reputable online shoe merchants that have clearly marked return policies and secure web sites. Our favorite online shoe store is Zappos.com, which features free shipping, free return shipping and a 365 return policy so if you buy the wrong shoes, just send them back and order the right ones.

Tip #7 - Read Online Shoe Reviews

Many web sites feature product reviews written by customers. Shoe Reviews will give you an idea of the fit and quality of the shoes reviewed.

Tip #8 - Keep Hosiery & Socks In Mind

When you're buying a new pair of shoes, keep the kind of hosiery or socks you intend to wear with your new shoes in mind. For example, if you are buying a pair of boots to wear in bad weather, you might want to wear a warm, thick pair of socks with them. So buy the boots a size larger to accommodate the socks.

Tip #9 - Can You Walk in Those Heels?

If you've never worn a pair of 4 inch stiletto heeled pumps before, its best to try a pair on at a brick and mortar store before you buy them.

Tip #10 - Don't Spend More Then You Can Afford

Just because those $325 dollar Bruno Magli Nazli Pumps are just a click and a credit card away, don't spend more than you can afford. Believe me, I know how addictive online shoe shopping can be!

Follow these ten easy steps, and you'll be shoe shopping online like a pro, and you'll rarely, if ever, have to return a pair of shoes you bought online again.
