I can understand buying shoes online if you’re looking for a specific model and brand you already tried and fits.

This is not my case: I’m looking for stiletto heels online because where I live there are no sizes that match my feet or heels are too short.

Online there are several stiletto makers, most of them China based, meaning that if I don’t like the shoes or they don’t fit, I have to pay the return shipping costs, which are most likely higher than the purchase price.

most sellers include a sizing chart, but this means nothing: I’ve bought shoes according to their charts and sometimes they’re off, meaning to make it make sense I’d have to buy several sizes to see which one fits and return the ones that don’t.

Overall seems to be a losing proposition, but where I am I find no high heels that fit me.

Has any of you ever done something like this?
