Would you risk final sale shoes?

Susie

I'm guessing the answer is no!

I want to add another pair of black heeled sandals and I really like these:

They even have my name on them

There is a size that should fit but I have no idea if the brand runs TTS. If they don't fit, they might work for one of my daughters.

I've ordered plenty of shoes online but never final sale. Do you think it's worth a try?

For that price, I would try to find them and try them on in a store first, then order if they fit.

I'd see if they're available on other sites like Amazon and Zappos that either give more detail or offer lots of reviews. If I feel pretty good about the amount of info I can gather, I'm ok with final sale if the price is great.

I'm not a gambler so the answer would be no. If I had tried the brand before and found them comfy, I might order. Just looking at them, the slope looks a little steep and the metal details look like they could pinch. Hope someone familiar with the brand chimes in because they are pretty fierce!

Personally I wouldn't risk it. It's too hard to predict fit and comfort, at least for me. I just bought an exact duplicate of a favorite pair of shoes that I've almost worn out, on super discount and final sale, and even that made me nervous!

Like kellygirl, I personally would only risk a "final sale" purchase if I had experience with a brand and knew their sizing to be consistent. That being said, the shoes are quite fab. Tough call.

Do you have a store near you that carries that brand? If so, can you get there to try on some shoes in that brand and get an idea of the fit and comfort level? If not, I wouldn't risk the final sale.

Those are cool shoes.
Amazon has them with Prime shipping if you have that. They have a lot of sizes and are cheaper than the Bluefly ones. They can be returned at Amazon.
Btw, the one review there said they run small.
Good luck!

Only if they were duplicates of something I'd already tried, or they were such a steal I could turn around and sell them on eBay to recoup the cost if they didn't work out.

I'd look for another seller who allows returns.

Well gosh why didn't I think of Amazon?? I buy a ton of stuff there. Free shipping, free returns= nothing to lose!

Thanks for the voice of reason and the great suggestion!
