Ultimate guide to shop for heels
Heels are a super stylish accessory you need in your closet. However, there are so many things to consider before shopping for heels. Also, there are two ways you can shop for heels for your closet; in-store or online.
In-store shopping for heels may be the most practical especially if you don’t have your shoe size. So, you can have a look at the options available in the store and try them out to see if it fits. You can also measure your feet to know your shoe size at a shoe store.
However, the cons is that you may not find what you want in a particular store. Also, price comparison may be impossible as some stores may sell the same brand higher or cheaper based on their own mark up.
The second option which is online shopping for heels is how I do all my shopping for my fashion needs. I love the convenience, the options in terms of price and quality. However, this method is not for anyone who doesn’t know their shoe size.
Also, to shop shoes you need to read the size chart on the website, return policies and other customer’s review before you hit the check out button. To get the best deals/ discount, you can add shoptagr.com chrome extension on your desktop or app. You can get discounts to use at check out or save items for later for a price drop.
