Losers: Endless.com & Shoebuy.com

Oct 13, 11  Second Class Citizens: A size 7 B would never put up with this lack of selection, and neither should we. 
Endless.com I was attracted by thier cute TV ads, but after I typed in my shoe size I found only a selection of athletic shoes that look like the men's shoes we’ve always been stuck with.  Several styles of black “walking shoes.”  Some good brands:  Propet and Saucony, but I clicked several color options and all they seem to have is black.  The good news is that they have quality product and hey!  Maybe you need some comfy, clunky-looking walking shoes?  (I have two pairs, left from the days when I couldn’t find anything else, and yes, I wear them!  For camping and yardwork.)
Shoebuy.com.  Ever notice how at good online stores you can just type your shoe size in and see ONLY the shoes in YOUR size?  We expect that, but for those of us with E or better shoe sizes, good luck, because these people bunch every size from WW (which can mean D, or even 2E!) up to 5E together as “WW.”  So basically, you’re ordering blind.  There are so many responsible dealers who are willing to label sizes accurately and sort them for you, the way the do smaller sizes, you probably don’t have time for this store.
