Question 1

What time of year do shoes go on sale online?

Accepted Answer

Shoes typically go on sale online during the end of each season as retailers clear out inventory to make room for the next season's styles. Look for sales in late winter and late summer, as well as during Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and holiday shopping periods for significant discounts. Also, take advantage of back-to-school sales and end-of-year  clearance deals . But you can also find year-round savings from top brands like  Nike ,  Adidas , and  Crocs , and we update our deals daily to include styles like  men’s  and  women’s athletic shoes ,  men's casual shoes ,  women's sandals , and versatile options like  boots  for everyone.

Question 2

How can I tell if an online shoe deal is legitimate?

Accepted Answer

To determine if an online shoe deal is legitimate, verify the retailer's reputation through reviews and ratings on third-party sites. Ensure that the website has secure and verifiable payment methods. Authentic deals often come from established retailers or directly from the brand's official site. If the discount seems too steep for a new or popular item, scrutinize it with caution – if it seems too good to be true, it often is.

Question 3

Can I use multiple discounts when shopping for shoes online?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the retailer's policy. Some online stores allow customers to stack multiple discounts, such as combining a promo code with a sale or clearance item. Others might permit the use of one discount or promo code per purchase. Check the retailer’s terms and conditions or contact their customer service for clarification before attempting to apply multiple discounts to your online shoe purchase.

Question 4

What should I do if the shoes don't fit, or I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

If the shoes don't fit or you change your mind, check the retailer's return policy. Most stores allow returns within a specified time frame, provided the shoes are unworn and in their original packaging. Initiate a return by following the instructions on the retailer's website, which typically involves printing a return label and sending the shoes back. Some retailers may offer free returns, while others require you to cover the shipping cost.

Question 5

What are the best running shoes?

Accepted Answer

The best running shoes vary based on individual needs and preferences, but some consistently highly ratedmodels include: ASICS  GEL-Nimbus for cushioning and long-distance comfort.  Brooks  Ghost for a balanced and smooth ride. HOKA  Clifton for maximalist cushioning and lightweight design. New Balance  Fresh Foam for responsive cushioning. Nike  Air Zoom Pegasus for versatility and lasting performance. Always choose a pair that aligns with your foot type, gait, and running terrain to ensure optimal support and performance.

Question 6

How should running shoes fit?

Accepted Answer

Running shoes should fit snugly in the heel and midfoot, with about a thumb's width of space in the toe box to allow for foot expansion during runs. They shouldn't be too tight or cause chafing and blisters. Ensure there's enough room to wiggle your toes and that no part of the shoe rubs against your foot uncomfortably. It's often recommended to go up half the size from your regular shoes to accommodate foot swelling during running.

Question 7

How do you measure your shoe size?

Accepted Answer

To measure your shoe size at home, place a piece of paper against a wall and stand on it with your heel touching the wall. Mark the longest part of your foot on the paper, then use a ruler to measure from the edge of the paper to the mark in centimeters or inches. Compare this measurement to a shoe size chart to determine your size. Repeat for both feet and use the larger size to ensure a comfortable fit. It's best to measure your feet at the end of the day when they are largest.
