Interesting example, because shoes are one of the few things I will not order on-line.

Shoes fall in the category "things I want to physically try before buying". And that category of things does not work with on-line shopping.

I just buy a few sizes and return the ones that don't fit. Obviously this means I have to shop at places that offer to ship returns back for free or have a local store close I could drive to but I like the experience better than going to a store honestly.
