It may seem like a dumb question but do you, or have you bought shoes online? I am thinking about rewarding myself and my weight loss by buying some new gym tennis shoes. I have a couple of small amazon gift cards to put toward it so I am debating.
I have had ine experience where I bought Under Armour $60 tennis shoes and they ended up being super narrow and uncomfortable that I ended up giving them to my sister. I would have returned them except I didnt think to go for a brand that offered free shipping. I should go into a store and try them on but am pretty busy and also have the gift cards that would cover a good chunk of thepurchase.

Unless I am buying a pair of shoes I bought before (same brad, same size and same model) I prefer to buy after trying them at the store.

@maezee I joined Just Fab. The deal for the first pair is really good, especially since I got Swagbucks too. They are not worth the full price. IMHO
I have to remember to log in at the beginning of the month to say I am not shopping or I will be charged. They have a huge selection.
I don't know how easy it will be to quit.
You can send the shoes back if they don't fit, etc. You will get a credit not a refund.

@maezee the first pair cost me about $22 Canadian. Then I got $25 in Swagbucks! Seems like a mistake. Lol
Before the 5th of each month I have to login and say I don't want to order or I will be billed $39.95 US.
I did read online that they made it hard to quit. But a woman at work said she kept forgetting to login to not be billed, so she made a purchase to spend the money and then quit. It didn't sound like she had a problem.
The shoes I got are nice but not high end quality.

I purchase shoes on amazon all the time for myself and my teens, but I purchase brands like DC and Osiris and Vans which are great for my wide fat feet. Amazon offers good prices on them too. I just buy a half size bigger than I purchase in store.

Bought two pairs of shoes online.
Worst. Experience. Ever.
The delivery was late and the sizes were wrong. Ended up giving both shoes to my younger cousin.

I buy shoes online, there is a very interesting site here in Europe, you do not pay shipping fees and you pay nothing if the shoes do not satisfy you and you want to send them back. I buy almost all my shoes from this site. They also sell high quality brand shoes. I forgot to mention, the company where I buy from is Zalando.

I've bought shoes online before but I prefer to go to an actual store so I can try them on first. This way, if they are no good I don't buy them and don't have to deal with returns.
I bought a pair of sneakers once from an online site. They were not good and I had to return them. That meant having to pay for the return shipping, which I wasn't a fan of.
