Never heard of them.
Huh? The point you and others are missing is that with clothes, shoes and
a number of other products , eg cars, its a very VERY good idea to try before
you buy. Or risk serious disappointment.
You buy (hanks to the EU) in effect "on approval", and send things back
which don't fit.
The EU has nothing to do with being able to return goods not fit for purpose.
Thats been british law for decades and I wouldn't be surprised if we gave them
the idea. Nor were they involved in credit card companies refunding customers
for dodgy goods.
Thats up to you. I only order online when I don't have a choice because
shops
don't sell it - eg gym equipment. Otherwise going to a physical shop is a
lot
simpler.
Physical shops have a very limited selection in my size.
Thats unfortunate, but you're clearly a special case. Most people can buy
shoes that fit in shops.
You'd think, wouldn't you, but I know several people (men and women)
with smaller feet, and it's a significant issue. I also really need a
half-size, which are even rarer.
Just wear the next size up and put in a thick insole. Simples.
