I used to take this view, but after many frustrating experiences of trying to find shoes in stores that fit me, I order everything online now. The stores, around here at least, never seem to carry a wide range of sizes and models. The salesmen are constantly trying to sell me something they have rather than what I want. Buying on-line I get what I want at a much cheaper price. Sure, I've gotten a few flubs, but even if I take those into account I've ended up with cheaper better shoes overall. The ones that just didn't fit right, that I couldn't return (for one reason or another) meant that someone at Goodwill got a great deal.
