I wish that buying shoes was as easy as going to a vending machine and putting my bill in the slot and selecting my next fabulous pair. The truth is, sometimes shoe shopping can be a drag if you do not have the right information, resources and money in some cases.
95% of the women in the world today love to buy shoes and this is a true fact! The other fact today is that there are many ways to shop for a great pair of heels now a days. At the store, online or by hosting a private party. The best way to purchase your next pair of high heel shoes would be up to you. My first advice is to know your feet and know what type of shoes you most enjoy. Do your research about designers and stores and this is most important if you are shopping online. If you plan to shop online, remember that you are sometimes taking a huge risk. Sometimes the photos that these online stores show are truly not the shoes that you end up getting... so read the reviews. Additionally, some shoe shops and boutiques feel cheated at the opportunity to establish a one on one relationship with their customers when they shop online. Some even openly admit that their competitors are online stores and to most this is alarming cause how can you compete with online stores? People use the internet today for all kind if things and the most important thing when it comes to shoes is finding shoes that are cheaper in price... but cheap does not always mean you are getting the best shoe out there. The shoes can be very different when you shop online. You may think you are getting a fabulous shoe for a fabulous price... but when you actually get the shoes in your hand you may realize that the size, material and color was all wrong.
Now I am not knocking down these online vendors... I think that in some cases shopping online is wonderful but you need to do your research in order to get what you are paying for... make sure that the quality and product is what is being shown online. My suggestion when you see a certain brand of shoe is to go to YouTube and watch review videos about this product if there is one out there. Find the company on Facebook and follow them and see what other people that have purchased from this company have to say about their brands and quality of shoes. Or best of all, become a fan of a blogger... like me and ask them questions about the shoes you are interested in. Bloggers are great for telling it like it is... and they are there to advocate for the consumers and give you the information that you are looking for.
Shoe buying can sometimes be hard but if you know your feet and know what you like, then it should make the shopping experience less of a challenge.
Happy Shoe Buying!
