Shopping for shoes online can be a bit tricky for international customers. First of, you’ve got to be sure of your exact size. Secondly and more importantly, you need to find out what are the taxes and duty costs in your country for personal import.
Some of the online shoes stores will use the services of an external delivery company rather than the standard mail, so handling fees should also be taken into consideration.
Having said that, once you figured out all the technical issues, there’s a whole new world of new shoes waiting for you 🙂 .
There are many good reasons for online shoes shopping. For example, in my country women with size 9.5 and above are having a hard time getting nice, sexy shoes. For that matter, online shopping is a great solution.
