Is buying shoes online a smart move???

Purchased from Lazada

This pair is from Zalora

Despite the many advice against buying shoes from an online platform, I went ahead and got these pairs from Lazada & Zalora.

I realised that there are 2 things you need to be very sure of before the purchase;

1. The reliability of the platform you choose to buy from...
2. Your shoe size!

I tried Lazada & Zalora because of its rising popularity a few years back. Also, as the sites were gaining popularity (then), they had to ensure that there were no issues with shipping and the condition of products delivered.

So here's what I did to ensure I got the right pair...or pairs!

• Roughly know what shoe design you are looking for (I wanted pumps & a Mary-jane like heels for work and for whenever I had to make appearances for social events). This makes it easier to search rather than browsing over hundreds of pairs!
• Know your shoe size & how they can differ with brands (the size charts provided are reliable!) I'm usually a size 38-40 depending on various brands and shoe type.
• Look out for a more lasting material and a comfortable lining (leather or faux leather usually disintegrates in time or with lack of care/ improper storage)- read the product description given before recklessly buying and then whining over how you made a mistake buying shoes online!!!

The 2 pairs I bought from Lazada (as shown in pic 1 & 2 above) are China brands and the one shown in the 3rd pic is branded as Zalora.

Not your usual brands, but they were the pairs I wanted and they are awesome! Here's how I styled them China babies;

Do check out my instagram page (send me a message first?...I have a private profile...long story.) to check out how & when I wear my shoes!

Till my next post...
