Isn't that the entire point of Zappos?

I agree prior prior poster must be 100 years old. This is the new business model. There is nothing unethical or unsavory about what op is doing. It is how most of us shop now.

I just bought my kid six pairs of shoes from Zappos for her to try on and picked one. That was about $350 total. The rest were returned. I've done this maybe 3 times a year -- for her, for me and for DH. Never had a problem.

and I just got a box of stuff from Boden -- $780 worth -- probably half of which will go back.

That is one of their selling points. Otherwise, selling shoes via mail would be pointless. You don't know if they work until you see them and try them on.

Yes, but some of you send them back even if you know they "work". And some of you order knowing you just want to try the 7th pair on and not really keep the 7 or even 2.

This. I routinely order $1000+ worth of shoes and keep just one or two pairs or none at all. Tape up the box, print a label, drop it at the UPS store. I haven't shopped for shoes in a store in years.

Huh? Why would someone order shoes they already know they aren't going to buy? I buy several pairs because you can't really tell how the style is going to look on your foot until it's actually on your foot. Also, some shoes are cut narrower or wider than others. I keep the ones that I like and that fit well, and send the rest back.

I do the same thing for my kids and DH has even done it!

I’m smart. I am careful about what I buy.

Me too. If I do online buying at a merchant that has a local brick and mortar store, I usually just take my returns back instead of mailing them. Sometimes the sales associates get annoyed, but I don't care.

I do it all the time, too. There aren't shoe stores like there used to be and there are tons more options available online. If it's not a brand of shoes I already know, I may have to order multiple sizes. I vary between 7, 7.5 and 8, depending on the shoe and the brand.

Actually you are weird. This is how online shopping works.

What if it gets lost in the mail?

It doesn’t. If you look at the UPS store return pile everything is going to zappos or Amazon.

You either don't shop online or you have a magical body whose proportions happen to fit every article of clothing, regardless of cut,or sizing. You are an outlier. Most of us aren't that lucky.
