Hello, I'm looking at running shoes in ebay/amazon, and there is quite a few decent choices for reasonable price. I would like to ask what are your experiences with shoes bought from internet, share your experience, maybe give me some tips? :)

I buy all my shoes on the internet now.

As long as you know what size you are and the expected fit by brand, you're golden.

I do this too, usually. I always make sure that they have returns though, just in case I hate them terribly

Selection and prices are much better (from what I see)

I haven't had a need to buy shoes for years. Just got a few pairs and some Timberland boots that haven't worn out a bit.

Why would you buy shoes in Ebay? They will be moulded to someone else's feet and wont perform as well. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

..I don't know

For example someone might fit into a pair of vans but have a hard time getting into a pair of converse due to the difference in width.

and I'm sure some shoe manufacturers do their own shit that make shoes fit differently no matter what the size.

I buy my shoes online and I've never had any issues, in fact I buy almost all of my clothes online and I love it. Lower prices aside, I'm a really picky person so buying online lets me spend as much time as I need to look at stuff and not feel pressure to make a decision and buy something or leave because I've been in the store for hours. I got my current pair of shoes, Adidas Samba Classics, from Adidas's store for something like $40 shipped not too long ago and they're great.  :)

I bought a pair of Vans off eBay. Results weren't promising. The bottom fell apart within 2 weeks of purchase. Brand new. Not cool.

I buy everything except groceries on the internet and i trust amazon but not ebay. ^ is correct but make sure you chose the right color and size you want or you will get something else than you expect and take some time to read reviews to see how other people felt about the item, it really does help in making a decision.

I know that's why I put USA in parentheses I don't know foreign shoe stores
