It's this time again, time to buy some new walking/jogging shoes. The ones that I am using right now are getting worn out. Those shoes will be used for my gardening chores as soon as I get my new ones. I have been looking around the internet to compare the different styles and brands and prices. Do you do online comparison shopping before you buy anything?

QVC has a lot of great walking sneakers. I don't walk, but I might buy a pair just because they look so comfy. Compare online, it depends on how much time I have to decide.

@AbbyGreenhill Wow! All I can say is that you are a very loyal customer and I would add "satisfied". Maybe you should write a post about it.

I don't think that we have that store " Finishline" here in Ontario, Canada.

@SIMPLYD That is disappointing for sure. Did you send them back?

Sometimes, not always. I need to get new shoes as well. I use my old ones for outdoor work as well.

@just4him I don't mind wearing those old shoes in the garden until they can't take it anymore!

I have always done that: using my older shoes for gardening.

I could never buy shoes online. When I find she's that fit and feel good, I buy them. It doesn't happen that often. Last time I needed running shoes it took me several months to fins a pair that fit my awkward to fit feet.

My feet are kind of normal, so I have no problem with buying shoes online.

@marlina I like to think my feet are normal. They just are hard to fit. You know, the old joke, throw away the shoes....wear the boxes.

I have never checked out shoes online. I need to try them on.

But if you had seen and tried the same shoes in the store and they were cheaper online, would you then order them online?

I find that comparing brands and prices is really useful.

Yes, I do. By doing it, we can compare the price, the quality and the also the brand.

I find it a lot easier to do comparison shop with the computer than to get tired walking around at the mall.

I have problem feet. They are small, wide and have very high arches. People think they are "cute". I have always found them annoying. Finding shoes that fit is a nightmare. I envy people who can go into a store and walk out with a new pair of shoes. Have fun.

Sorry to read that you have trouble finding the right shoes for you. I guess I am blessed.

@marlina Thanks. Most people just walk into a store and point. They don't know how lucky they are.

Not often but then I buy very little online. Sometimes I compare book prices if there is a particular volume I want.

I like the fact that we can compare prices without getting tired going from stores to stores.

I do online comparison for electronic products mostly. I have never tried doing it for shoes. Do you usually order shoes online?

My job was to shop online. I always make comparisons at least three sources

I like the shoes that are used for hiking and cross country walks. Sturdy and comfortable

@marlina Online, there are usually good deals on stock clearance

I'm too impulsive to do a whole lot of comparison shopping. I might look around online to decide which site I will buy an item from depending on the price, shipping, etc. But when I want something I just go for it as long as I can justify it financially.

Yes I do online comparison for anything i buy. I hope you can find some good shoes and ones that will be comfortable for you. I just bought new sketcher shoes they are always comfy for me.

Oh man I was just thinking about this when I walked 3 miles home from work yestetday. Definitely need some new tennis shoes. I usually cannot buy online because I need to try them on in person.

Tomorrow I am going to look for some new walking shoes as well, as the ones I have are getting old. I don't buy shoes online because I need to try them on first.
