London is the most visited city in the whole of Europe. It has many
fascinating sites and, for Americans, it is a good place to be as they
speak the same language as the English. There are many theatres and well
know department stores, as well as famous landmarks such as the Tower
of London.
The city is an exciting place as so many cultures have established
themselves there and the indigenous London population is generally very
tolerant of this ethnic diversity.
If you are in London you should go shopping for shoes there. This is
quite a fascinating experience. There are many famous shops in the
shopping streets of this fabulous city. There is a web site which points
you to many old and established retailers.
London outlets are often very traditional and old fashioned, which adds
to the charm of these places. There also some very modern footwear
shops. There is one in a street where the swinging sixties began. This
particular outlet sells the most amazing footwear and equally whacky
clothing to match it. The English have a great sense of the ridiculous
which shows in their many retail outlets. Anything goes and nobody bats
an eyelid if you are wearing something odd.
However, if time is short and you do need a new pair of shoes, then the
most sensible thing to do is to go on line to see what is available out
there. As well as the high street retailers, there are also on line shoe
shops advertised there.
A great advantage is that you will be confronted with an incredible
variety of shoes that you can review from your armchair. If you are
after a particular kind, then you do not have to go from shop to shop on
the high street.
Another advantage is that you will be able to find affordable footwear
somewhere. There might be a sale on of which you can take advantage.
A great disadvantage is that you do not get to try on the shoes you have
chosen. This can be a nuisance, especially if you are buying some
designer varieties. However, most sites will let you return items that
do not meet your expectations or if they do not fit.
If you have awkward feet then the internet shop is for you. Ordinary
high street shops just do not have the space to display every kind of
shoe that is on the market. On line shoe shops have a much greater
variety as they get the larger or smaller sizes from the manufacturer
when a customer a puts in an order. They do not have to stock endless
varieties of shoes.Some online shops buy in bulk to get the price of the
footwear down for their customers.
If you are in a hurry and need a pair of shoes today, then online
shopping will probably not be for you. As already said, you cannot try
the shoes on beforehand and you do not want to turn up at that all
important occasion with ill-fitting footwear.
