I do not mind online shopping, but I do not like to buy shoes or clothes online. I like to walk into the shops, feel the texture of the clothes before buying. Sometimes it is not the matter of size, but the material that makes the clothes. It is the same for shoes. There is a great deal of difference between soft leather and hard leather. Even when shoes sizes are the same, the material can make a lot of difference in comfort level.

Just like you, I enjoy shopping online but don't like buying clothes and shoes online. I used to buy trousers and shoes online, but when the goods were sent to me, I found that the quality of those goods were not as good as described before. If the clothes and shoes sold online are not as good as those sold in real shops, the lower prices will be meaningless for consumers.

That is why I do not trust myself to shop for clothes and shoes online. I think especially for shoes. Even when I go to the shops to buy shoes, after putting on the shoes, and walking around the shops, I may still get the wrong shoes, and my feet will hurt for a while due to the blisters.

OH yes, the best when shopping is really going to shops and malls. I still like the old fashion way when you fit the shoes and walk on it before ever buying it. I did try online but only for jewelries and accessories but that was only once coz I was given the wrong item. Anyway, I didn't try to go online anymore.

Yes, for personal item such as clothes and shoes, I will go to the shops. I like to put the shoes on, walk around the shop, and decide if the shoes are comfortable. I think only when we are sick with chicken pox or other illness then it makes sense for us to shop online for food.

I agree with you. I don't like shopping for clothes online. I like being able to try things on before I actually buy them. Sometimes the clothes look good on the model, but not on me XD

Yes, that is true. Sometimes the material will shrink after washing. You will know when you have looked at it, tried on it, and have enough experience to know what kind of material will shrink. The size does not matter since cutting is different.

That's understandable. I enjoy shopping online for clothes though because I always get the best deals.
