Step 1
Know what you want. Avoid just typing shoes or even women's shoes into search engines. You'll find the choices are overwhelming. Instead, shop for specific shoes—sandals, sneakers or pumps.
-
Step 2
Read reviews. Reviews are great places for you to find out more about the shoes you're looking to purchase. You can find out if most buyers are complaining about blisters, complaining about the shoes falling apart after a few wears, or if other buyers recommend going a size up or down.
-
Step 3
Go with brands you already have in your closet. If there's a pair of shoes in your closet you love, get the brand name and enter it into a search engine. You already know the fit of that brand of shoes and you know how well they tend to last.
-
Step 4
Shop with comparisons. One of the great things about the Internet is that you can find the cheapest shoe. Once you find a shoe you like, find the brand and the name of the shoe and enter it into a search engine. With just a few clicks, you can find the cheapest shoe.
-
Step 5
Watch for shipping charges. Expensive shipping charges can undo a savings of a few dollars.
-
Step 6
Find out the return policy of the online store. That way you know if you can return the shoes or exchange them for a different size.
