I try to look for real photos of the insoles and soles, not only the outside of the shoe. Nobody wants pretty shoes that hurt after ten minutes of walking. When a store shows clear shoulder width, bust, waist and length, it is much easier to choose. Many people do not mind waiting if they understand what is going on.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

Loose hinges make the glasses slide down the nose again and again. In the past I have wasted money on items that looked good in photos but felt cheap in real life. I do not trust only the star rating, I like to see detailed photos and longer comments. In the end there is no perfect shop, but some stores are clearly more consistent. If many different people say the same thing about a product, it is worth paying attention. When every picture has different colors or extreme filters, it is usually a bad sign. I like when a shop clearly shows PD, lens height and bridge width in millimeters.
Maybe this is useful for someone. |
