To buy shoes online you need a good idea of which shoe brand you have in mind to buy, and oh yes - the most important - the size shoe you are looking to buy.

In order to buy shoes online without a hitch you have to be familiar with the measurements used to determine shoes sizes. Just like the famous Cinderella sandal not all foot sizes are equal. For example a number nine size shoe could come in three versions. This is because some feet are long and wide, some are slim and long, short and wide and so on. Some sites offer a wide and slim search category so you can search for your purchase in the right category instead of choosing a style and finding out later that you cannot wear it. It also may list shoes in several helpful categories like casual, dress, designer, trends and athletic for men or women.

You can buy online for everyone in your family easily and quickly. You don't have to drive anywhere. You can do it in the comfort of your home or office.

With the click of your mouse, you can find name brands at discounted or closeout prices,

Buyer Beware!

Not all online shopping is created equal. Watch out for added costs, look for shipping charges - some don't charge anything for shipping if you purchase a certain amount. Good online stores charge a reasonable amount for shipping. Combine a reasonable shipping charge with an online discount and you have a winning combination.

Read the online store's policies before you buy. Just as with a department store, don't take anything for granted. Look to see what the store says regarding returns and exchanges. Some are very reasonable, and ask no questions.

While we're at it, read the store's return shipping policy. Some online stores do not charge for returns.
