online shoe shopping

I’ve come to realize that this is now a bad idea.  For most of my life I’ve been a classic simple size 10.5.   Never really tried on shoes but just bought them  in the past.  With my online purchases, it seems half the time they don’t fit.  Nikes, cleats, English brogues it doesn’t matter.  Most of the time they’re too small.  I doubt that my feet have changed that much.  And to make it worse, I hate returning them.  My new advice- go to the store and try them on.  If they don’t have your size, then you can buy them online.
