I read the rules about advertising, so I hope that this isn't breaking them.
Although I am unlikely to every shoes online, there is one online shop that for me stands out from all the rest. Their styles are to my mind very beautiful and often unique at least when viewed over the web- at least I've never seen them either in LA or in Santa Barbara or elsewhere online. They also have one of the best designed websites. The shop is Veronica's of Switzerland.
In light of this, Veronica's is one of the few shops that I would even contemplate ordering online from.
My questions are as follows:
1) Do other people feel more or less the same way?
2) Have people ordered from them and if so what was the experience like?
3) Are the shoes as good upclose as they are on the web?
While searching for something else (the name of a retailer that I had forgotten the name of) on Google, I came across this list of shoe and boot maufacturers and retailers: http://www.mistresssaskia.com/fsbflinks.html I hope it is useful to someone.
