Let's talk shoes...

So, to get the best deal on Crocs (which I absolutely love!) or any shoe for that matter, I use Shoebuy because they offer free shipping, free exchanges and free returns (bonus!). I really don't have time or the means to go shopping for shoes, least of all with a 4 year old getting antsy in the store. (Plus, we don't live near a Crocs store, so this is the next best thing for me to try out different Crocs styles.) The Crocs Cleo are my favorite and I swear by them! I can walk all day in these and my feet won't hurt a bit! They are so comfortable!! When I bought mine, I waited for a sale (20% off) and got the additional 10% off for members, which made them more reasonable, especially with the free shipping and no sales tax!

The best part about Shoebuy is that they usually ship items pretty quickly and you can try shoes on in your own home and walk around inside to try them out. If you don't like them, you can ship them back with a free shipping return label. No harm, no fuss, no worries, no sales tax!!! They have super great customer service (which is hard to find these days!). They have price protection too, so if you find the shoe at a lower price at another website, they will match that price.

I can't say enough good things about this website! Seriously, they have a great introductory offer if you register as a member, you get 10% off your first purchase and you get 10% off your subsequent orders made within 60 days of each purchase. Now, if you are like me and you don't necessarily buy shoes every 60 days, then you can sign up with a new e-mail address and still get the 10% off. Or, better yet, if you use their refer a friend program, you can refer a friend (use your alternate e-mail address) and give yourself $10 off your next purchase! There are so many loopholes in finding more ways to get discounts and I find that having multiple e-mail addresses really helps in cases like this!

Oh, and it's a great website for kids' shoes too. I find that sometimes when I've taken my son to the shoe store, he might not necessarily be in the "mood" to try them on at that exact second I want him to try it on (does this sound familiar or am I the only one to experience this?), so if I get him shoes online, then he can try them on in the comfort of our home when he's "ready" to try them on and test them out thoroughly.

Overall, I have found Shoebuy to be far better than Zappos or Onlineshoes (which doesn't offer free return shipping), mainly because of the free return shipping, wonderful customer service, the sale prices, and regular discounts for members.
