This is the final article in the Girl’s Guide to High Heels series.

The last two articles focused on walking in high heels, and the process of buying high heels. In case you missed them, see How To Walk In High Heels and How To Buy High Heels.

For this article, I want to focus on where to buy those fabulous heels – there are so many stores, so how do you choose?

There are two main places you can buy high heels – walking in to a shoe store or department store and purchasing them there, or the ever convenient and popular online shopping. I’ve broken down the pro’s and con’s of each, plus a list of my favorite online and offline stores to find the best high heels.

Should you buy heels online or offline?

Offline shopping is probably the most popular way to buy shoes. When you buy high heels in a store, you have the opportunity to try them on, examine the shoes up close, and talk to the salesperson to find your perfect size. You can also walk around in the shoes before you buy, compare pairs up close and personal, and even get your feet measured if you aren’t sure what size you are! It takes more time than shopping online, but shopping in a store means you’ll know immediately if you’ve found the right shoes or not.

Shopping online, however, may also be a good option for you if you live far away from a store that sells nice shoes, or if you don’t have a lot of time to go shopping. It’s certainly more convenient to have your shoes delivered to your door rather than going to a store and trying them on. Similarly, online shops may have a bigger selection than offline, and if you’re looking for a specific brand or pair of shoes, online is the best bet.
