I'm sold on this brand of shoes. They have to be the most comfortable causal shoe i've ever worn. Your foot literally feels like its wrapped in cushion. Very well made and flex well around your foot.

Not that cheap, around $100 a pair. But shoes are something i don't mind paying extra for quality and durability. You definitely get what you pay fo here.

I'm looking for a nice casual shoe so I just ordered one. I used the order online link and found a coupon code "bmc2006" for a 20% discount!

I've always been hesitant about buying shoes online. It seems like the sizes vary so widely depending on the type of shoe and brand that I figured it would be a small miracle if I actually received a pair that fit well enough for me to keep.

Well I checked the website and there are several local shops that sell this brand, so I'll stop by sometime and try them out. At least this way if I find a style I like and size that fits, I might take a chance at ordering them via the website (at least if the price discount is significant).

I think this is the only way I'd buy shoes online.

I picked up a couple of pairs in the Walking Company, not sure how many shops they have country wide. They fit to size, I wear a 12 normally and purchased these shoes in a 12 also.

I've ordered mostly online the last few years for shoes, 2 or 3 pair, and they all fit fine. I must have a fairly standard size foot.

The order online link takes you to shoeline.com where they have free shipping. The 20% off is good until Oct. 27th. If you need to return them it's a $4.95 fee so it's not too bad.

I picked up a pair at DSW during a trip to Minnesota. I wouldn't call 'em THE most comfortable bar none...I like my Rockports and New Balance walkers, after all...but they are damn comfy.

That is what I have done in the past.
