The Internet has changed our lives. in so many ways. From banking transactions, catching up with friends, conducting business meetings to dealing with correspondence - the Internet has altered how we make almost every physical exchange. One of the most popular online habits is, of course, online shopping.
It's just so convenient. You browse for a product or service, check prices and reviews and you make your purchase all from the comfort of your own living room - even in your pyjamas if you wish!
Europeans in particular are Internet shopping mad. Online sales have risen steadily during recession and online-only retailers have been the ones to prosper most, going from strength to strength. Other traditional retailers have, conversely, experienced hardship. With lagging average footfall and customers having considerably less money to spend than they once did, many retailers have been forced to cut jobs, and some have closed down completely.
The fashion industry has been one of the main beneficiaries of the recession, though Internet shopping. Most high street retailers now have their own online outlet and daren't miss out on a growing industry. Shoe sales though online channels have also grown markedly, as the process offers consumer incredible convenience and simplicity. Though some people are still, understandably, reluctant to buy online, mainly because you can't try a garment on before you buy it, shoe shopping is often seen an "easier," online task - and understandably so. The main reason for this is that most people take the same shoe size, regardless of style. Throw in being able to compare prices on line and a few reviews, and you have an electronic outlet that doesn't need a dressing room - the high resolution photographs will do all the selling. The appeal of buying shoes online is rapidly turning into a good, old-fashioned common-sense thing to do.
It's also providing many smaller shoe retailers the opportunity to set up without the expensive overheads associated with renting premium city centre shop space. All this variety can only be good news for the shopper, who has more choice of style than ever before. And with more stores popping up all the time with shoes catering to all budgets and tastes, shopping online for footwear is likely only to continue to go from strength to strength.
