Shoe shopping has always been a touch and try experience, where you find the perfect shoe simply by fitting it on at the store. As many stores turned to digital platforms to sell their products, shopping for shoes online is a new experience. Though it can be quite tricky to find the ‘perfect glass slipper’ online, the Cinderellas and Prince Charmings of the world need not worry – here are a few tips to keep in mind when finding the right shoe for you.

• What’s your size? –  Selecting the right size is the most important element when shopping for shoes online. Not only do brand sizes differ from one another but they also change based on the country. Always check the brand’s website for the measurement guidelines and accurately measure your foot to help you find the right size.

• Style & Colour Variations – When buying shoes online for the first time, go for one that’s more in line with your style and level of comfort. Sometimes having 2-3 colours of the same design can be the deciding factor in which shoes you end up buying. If your preferred design has another colour option, check them both out and see which works best for you.

• Product Details – Be sure to read all the shoe details, its material, heel height, etc. before completing your purchase. For example: medical grade shoes are built with an additional layer of comfort and support for your body and if this is what you need, your product detail should clearly specify the information.

• Policy check – In the off chance you need to return your shoes or exchange them, check the brand’s return and exchange policy before placing your order. You’ll be at ease knowing you can return them if it doesn’t fit right.

• Try it on – Try your shoes on just as you get them. This makes it easier to return the shoes within the specific period of time. Remember to try the shoes indoors, on a clean floor as this will help in easily returning the shoes without any issue.

• Secure payments – The brand’s website has to offer a secure payment gateway – if it doesn’t, you’ll face the risk of your card and bank details falling into the wrong hands. If you’re unsure, you can always give us a call to check.
