I would expect any online shoe retailer to have a system for sending back

Time. Not everybody wants to wait days or even weeks for items to be
returned, another one sent out, that one sent back as well when it
doesn't fit. I want shoes or clothes that fit now, not in 4 weeks time.

Well, the typical "try out" approach is to order the same shoe in sizes
9, 9 1/2 and 10, keep one pair and return the other two.

On what planet?

The one we, if not you, live on. I just posted some clothes back to M&S
today ordered on just that basis (not shoes). They even pay the postage.

I dare say they do. But I for one don't need the hassle. I want to go
into a shop, try something on, buy it if it fits, try another if it
doesn't. All done in a matter of minutes (or possibly longer if I get
talking..!)

And yes we have tried supermarkets, but the range is limited, especially
when it comes to shoes.

Its not just shoes and clothes. The selection of books and magazines at
supermarkets is pretty poor too - pretty much potboiler fiction and sleb
autobiographies for books and the usual slew of anorexics-wearing-clothes
magazines with a few token mags for us chaps.

I find it incredible that anyone could find that less hassle than simply going
back to the shop and getting an immediate refund/exchange.

I almost do; it's about a mile away at a BP petrol station, but I'll bet
a crate of champagne they won't accept returns of M&S clothing.
