Buying shoes on line, is the "in thing" to do right now. As many are swamped with their work schedules, children and family, more and more women are turning to shoe websites. They are fast becoming the number one websites to shop on. It is fast and easy and many of the companies listed in this article give free shipping and one does offer free return shipping. If you buy and shop carefully, knowing your correct shoe size and the materials or brands that you want, it will be easier than "falling off a log."

All for the love of shoes. It seems that there is nothing people won't do for a beautiful shoe. The lazy person's shop is online and it is easier than you think. There are many reputable places to shop and many will even pay for your shipping and handling. Like food, you have to find the one that satisfies you the most.

We all want to shop and shop and be like the millionaire, Imelda Marcos and her shoes. She was on the "Greediest List," with Newsweek and reportedly owned more than 3000 pairs of shoes when she died. Now I wonder if she bought any of them on line. I heard she would take many shopping sprees to New York with thousands of dollars, just for the love of shoes. I will show you some of the best websites for shoes and you too can be like Imelda.

Steps involved in buying shoes on line:


* Decide ahead of time what type of shoe you are looking for

* Search for vintage, froogle or cheap shoes

* Be careful when stating your shoe size and use their online shoe fit tape

* Make sure to read their description of the shoes so you know the material it is made of

* Select the perfect color
