ShoeBuy.com Review: Discount Shoes Online
Written by Karon on Wednesday, November 25, 2009 4:00I can only begin to tell you how big of a shoeaholic I am. At last count, I had 81 pairs of shoes (including flip flops and old, dirty shoes I wear in the yard/garden). Yes, my husband knows. He understands I’m addicted, but is thankful that I’m hooked on bargain shoes, not full-priced shoes. Few things thrill me more than to get a good deal on a new pair of shoes. That’s why I love ShoeBuy.com so much. There I can find discount shoes online!
Pros
There are lots of reasons I purchase from ShoeBuy.com. One of the biggest is the fact that there’s no shipping either way. You won’t pay shipping to have your shoes sent to you and you won’t pay shipping if you need to send them back. That was the primary reason I hardly ordered shoes online previously, discount or otherwise. By the time you add shipping (and returns) the cost of the shoes would increase by as much as $15 or $20. No thanks. But at ShoeBuy.com, you never pay shipping for any reason.
I know what you’re thinking: the same thing I thought. “The only way you get discount shoes online plus no shipping is if their prices are higher to start with. They’ve built it into the cost of the shoes.” Nope! See for yourself. The pair I just bought are called Easy Street Cheer. (I know… Easy Street usually makes old lady shoes, but these loafers are really cute!)
I paid $29.56 total at ShoeBuy.com. These same shoes (same color, too) cost $45.97 at QVC including shipping/handling. They cost $41.95 at the official Easy Street website with shipping/handling. I thought I’d found a deal at ShoeStation.com for $19.97 until I discovered they charge a whopping $10.69 for shipping/handling making the total price $30.66.
Other reasons to buy? They don’t charge sales tax and you get a 100% price guarantee. Here’s what their website says about that:
If you find a product for a lower price on another website, we will refund you 100% of the difference between the lower price and Shoebuy’s price. We’ll even refund the difference if we lower the price at Shoebuy.com!
Cons
You do have to wait for your shoes. They have to be shipped so there’s a delayed since of gratification until they actually arrive. But that little lag in time gives a nice sense of anticipation… sort of like kids on Christmas morning.
I regularly try shoes on at the stores when I’m shopping for other things then order them for less at ShoeBuy.com. I also order my husband’s hiking boots there since they carry men’s shoes (kid’s and designer shoes, too). Even narrow and wide widths are available. They also carry bags and a limited selection of apparel.
ShoeBuy.com has all sorts of styles and brands. Their site says over 950 brands and 700,000 pairs of shoes. I always make it one of my first stops when looking for shoe deals.
