Cheap Shoes.org.uk


 

Welcome to a page dedicated to finding locations online for cheap shoes. It's specifically aimed at people from the UK. Shoes are one of the hardest items to shop for online. It can even be a hassle to find a pair that fits whilst shopping on the high street. People's feet vary in width and dimension, making it difficult to find a comfy fit even if the length is the correct size. Therefore it's an item which has a high returns rate. An important first step is finding a retailer which has a good returns policy. You should be looking for at least a twelve day return period from the date of your order. Using a next day delivery option is helpful because it will provide you with a few extra days and cover any possible hold ups in the postal service if you need to return an item. Every retailer should have a standard practice of easily allowing you to return any item so long as the item is in a re-saleable condition. It's possible a bad idea to order shoes online as a Christmas or birthday present. Unless the returns period is over one month long you will have no chance of returning the item for an exchange or a refund.

Sizing Information

Size availability information should also be displayed for every shoe on sale. You should expect a retailer to have instock these sizes 6- 15 for men. For ladies and kids this will of course be lower. Anything above or below these sizes for men starts to become difficult to find. Anybody over a size 16 will no doubt know this already. No only are they difficult to locate but they are also expensive.

The real difficulty of buying online is that different brands do not stick to exact sizing regulations. When it comes to trainers for example,

  • Adidas tend to be small fitting, you will need a half size larger than normal.
  • Nike comes close to standard fitting.
  • Puma tend to be large fitting, you will need a half size smaller than normal.

The above information was gleamed from one of the specialist retailers for trainers. But it goes to show how difficult it can be to order shoes from the web. And how you must double check all the sizing guidelines and help files a retailer may include. If they include none then its best to do some research elsewhere.

Shoe Maintenance

Here are some handy hints to help keep your shoes in tip top condition,

  • Shoes need to be lightly brushed to remove dirt before you apply a polishing product.
  • Canvas, leather and suede shoes need the correct polishing products. This will help fill in any minute cracks on the surface, and help avoid the cracks from widening.
  • Typically leather should use wax, suede a cleaning bush and block, canvas a damn polishing liquid.
  • Shoe tree are handy tools to have, they stretch out the shoe to the correct proportions and avoid the shoe from creasing up and eventually bending.
  • Do not place wet or damp shoes next to a radiator or heating fan. This will not help the shoe maintain it's shape. They should be left to dry in a average heated and ventilated room.
  • Avoid washing canvas trainers and shoes in a washing machine.
  • You will need a waterproof wax protectent unless the shoe has been stated as waterproof.
  • Alternating your shoes per day, and not using new shoes day after day and in wet conditions should help extend the life cycle of them.
