I recently purchase a pair of 5" denim pumps on line and had a disastrous experience. They were not expensive, the fit was mediocre and they began to fall apart during the first wearing as, after having them on my feet for no more than a couple of hours, the heel began to work loose on one and on both the sole started to pop off and peel away. I did not even wear them a full day and the sole, beginning at the point of the toe, started to come un-glued and was flapping! Now I buy only in the store. Steve Madden or Wild Pair works for me.

I've bought some of my best lasting and favorite shoes off Ebay but thats only cuz I know how to shop there. You can't just buy the first pair of shoes from anyone. Its a process & takes practice but if you get it right, it can be seriously worth it. You could end up having a cheap discount store experience where your shoes fall apart just by looking at them or you could have a "i hit the jackpot and these shoes are awesome" moment.

I just bought a wonderful pair of boots from Victoria Secret and a great pair of heels (that actually don't hurt my feet!) from Steve Madden. I'm still not sure if I would purchase from a store like zappos.com where I haven't already seen their merchandise and like them. Oh and girls- if you're going out for a long night in heels get some of those gel pads- one word: lifesavers, or rather feetsavers.

Lee - That's a really good idea. Shop offline first, buy online later. Of course, you have to make sure you know what you're getting with eBay. yo – How do you know I’m hot if you’re asking me for pics?
