At the end of the day it boils down to the simple fact that people are

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.


Getting your money back isn't the issue, its the hassle of having to send
them back


Print out a label, drop it into an inconvenience store. Simples.

plus not having the shoes to wear in the meantime.


Order them in plenty of time.

Why are some people so wedded to online that they'll avoid going to an
actual shop even when its a lot simpler?


In my case it's because the choice is so much wider, especially in the
smallish size which I take.
