Why Buy Shoes Online?

The best reason to buy shoes online is the internet never sleeps! All of the stores are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You don’t have to waste gas and fight the crowds. You can sit on your derriere and shop in your pj’s, even in the buff if you like. All of the shoe stores come to you!Worried that you’ll order some shoes and they won’t fit? Never fear. Most, if not all, online shoe stores offer free (yes, totally FREE) shipping to your door PLUS free returns if you need to return or exchange them. You’ve got nothing to lose!
I know a few of you are scared to use your credit card online. Trust me, it is safer and more secure to type in your credit card numbers online than hand your card to a waitress who takes it out of your site. No lie. I have used my credit card literally thousands of times online and have never had a problem. Yahoo offers Consumer Tips for Safe Shopping Online.
But if you are still leery, some sites like Amazon.com let you place your order online, print your confirmation and then send in a check via mail to pay for your order. Massey’s and Mason Shoes offer credit options with no money down and payments as low as $20 per month.
Shoes.com even offers a “Bill Me Later” option. Bill Me Later is a convenient and secure new payment method designed for purchasing on the web or over the phone. As a credit account, Bill Me Later provides you with the flexibility to purchase without using your credit card. To request a Bill Me Later account, you do not have to complete a lengthy application prior to making a purchase. Simply select Bill Me Later at checkout to complete your request.
LoveMyShoes.com and ShoeBuy.com accept PayPal for payment. With PayPal, you have an online account that makes it easy to send money from a variety of sources (like your credit card or bank account) to a variety of recipients – without sharing your financial information.
I am always on the lookout for the best credit card offers that offer cash back (to fund my shoe addiction). Many Cash Back Credit Cards give cash back bonuses after your first purchase (kind of like getting a pair of shoes or two free after rebate!). Apply for your own!
Another great reason to shop online is the selection! Odd sizes and hard-to-find shoe brands (including Barbara Bucci, Nature Breeze and Victoria Spenser) are at your fingertips. (Source:shoeaholicsanonymous.com)
