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 let you place your order online, print your confirmation and then send in a check via mail to pay for your order. 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 accepts 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. Want more PayPal to spend? Take online surveys at Greenfield Online and earn $2 - $50 in PayPal per survey.
I am always on the lookout for the best credit card offers (to fund my shoe addiction), and I couldn't pass up the Citi Diamond Preferred Rewards Card, which gave me a free $50 gift card (I chose Macy's) after I used the card just once. Plus I've taken advantage of the 0% APR on balance transfers and racked up Thank You points for more free gift cards!
So, what are you waiting for? Start Shoe Shopping Online Today!
