What are your opinions/advice on buying new sneakers over the net?
I dont run much, its mainly for walking.
Hard to buy without trying, and a risk, what do you think?
It feels a rush and i feel pressured shopping in a shoe store, except places where you can help yourself.
Any decent shops in Orange NSW or Dubbo?
Thanks.

I buy all my running shoes on eBay. But I buy the same brand every time (although different models ... they're all basically the same) and I know my size.

If you don't know your brand/model/size you're taking a risk, so you need to go to a shoe store.

As a matter of ethics, I would not try on shoes in a store, then go buy on the Internet. I would buy at least one pair from that store.
