There is a wide array of shoes for women to purchase online. There are bottom of the barrel, cheap shoes that will cost you $30 and are made in China. Then, there are the shoes that costs hundreds of dollars and are made in Italy. These 2 factors do not totally define an absolute line between junk and quality, but they are very telling indicators. Some new internet shoppers might be wondering how to discern amongst the hype and the legit information.
User reviews are a great way to get a feel for the quality of a shoes from a company based on facts such as where they were made, price and most importantly, user reviews. Shoes that have a high amount of feedback and consistently have a 3 stars or higher average usually indicates that they are favorable shoes. You must also take the price and quality factor into consideration. Some people have realistic expectations that a $30 pair of shoes is going to be somewhat limited in quality while others are going to expect something for nothing. It is important to read up on several user reviews just to be sure. That being said, a pair of $250 shoes might be good but disappoint some people at that price point because th shopper expects more for the money.
After finding a pair of shoes you are interested in, it is important to read up on whether or not the shoes themselves run sizes too big or too small. Meaning that, if the manufacturer sizes are smaller or larger than traditional sizes. This is also often a detail that is gone over in user reviews. If a brand or type/model of shoe tends to consistently run too large, too small or too narrow or wide, users will consistently report this in their reviews. One will generally find that if something is consistently wrong with a type of shoe or it is flawed in some way by design that people will generally complain about it in mass rather than the occasional bad review or gripe. It is up to the shopper if the flaw will apply to them, be bearable or if they should go onto the next pair of shoes. On the flip side, lots of user reviews can highlight the pros of a shoes and can make a purchasing decision that much more clear.
Many popular commerce websites like Amazon.com and more specifically, Zappos.com are excellent resources for user reviews of shoes. In short, always look for more than just a mere editorial review of shoes or any product and make sure the product has had some time out on the market to stand the test of time and usage. Consumers get tried and true reviews tested by shoppers that were in their places before making a purchase and giving an informed review.
