My other half needs new shoes. The high street still looks like Sunday
in the sixties, will she have to go barefoot before she can get any..?


Surely shoes are available to purchase online?


Buying shoes without trying them on first? Really?


Thanks to the EU's Distance Selling Directive (which some people
apparently want to see flushed down the toilet as part of the bundle of
Brussels rule-taking) your purchase isn't final until you've had a
chance to try them on and potentially send them back.

I happen to know my shoe size, and haven't bought a pair in person for
as long as I can remember. Seeing if the style is right... that's
classic B-Arc stuff [shoe event horizon, you know].
