Surprising Findings About How People Actually Buy Clothes and Shoes

Please! I struggle to find shoes that fit me since I find that trying them on in the store has basically no bearing with how they'll perform on the street. Yet the shoes I end up with don't exist in a year or two when I want to replace them.

My solution to this depends on how confident I am that my choice is correct.

If I know these shoes are "perfect" I will simply buy two pairs. If I'm unsure I'll go back a week later for a second pair.

It doesn't stop me from needing to buy new shoes, but it does postpone the process a little!

I won't say I do it on a regular basis but if I find a comfortable pair of shoes of the sort that I wear frequently, I've gone back to the store during the same season and bought an additional pair or two.

You could set up an eBay search for the model/size of the pair you want. Any time a new listing matches the search you get an email alert.
