Best online shoe stores

Spartoo

French site specializing in the online sale of shoes. It was born in 2006 from the intuition of three boys from Grenoble who shared a passion for the web and footwear. The name itself is a clear reference to these two categories. It was in fact chosen in reference to the leather sandals used by the ancient Romans who were called "Spartans". The two "oo" at the end, however, are an attempt to wink at the big giants like Yahoo and Google. From the home page of the site we can access the various subsections that allow us to choose between women's, men's, children's shoes and accessories. The assortment includes over 7000 models and more than 150 brands. Furthermore, to facilitate the search we can also indicate the type of shoe we are interested in or the price range. Some links recommend the latest news and the five best-selling items and there is also a special section called "low prices" which contains all the best offers. Finally, the delivery of the goods takes place via courier and is free, as is the return service within thirty days of purchase.

Zalando

Another portal of undoubted reliability is Zalando, a company founded in 2008 in Germany and landed in Italy in 2011. In addition to clothing, the site offers a vast range of shoes from the best brands on the market. A very useful function when choosing the product is also the possibility of reading reviews written directly by customers. Delivery is free and generally takes place within five working days. The return, however, is free if made within one hundred days from the time of the order. It will then be possible to track the package to find out where our shipment is and by calling the dedicated toll-free number you will be able to receive assistance for any problem. By subscribing to the newsletter you can take advantage of a five euro discount voucher and all customers will periodically receive ten euro vouchers to spend on Zalando. Finally, the payment methods are only the most common ones such as credit card, Postepay, Paypal and cash on delivery.

Sarenza

Shoe lovers cannot fail to know Sarenza, a French e-commerce site that has been highly appreciated by Italian internet users for some years. The offer is one of the widest as we will have over 700 global brands and more than 40,000 different shoe models to choose from. In addition to the men's, women's and children's categories, we will also find the luxury section, ideal for those who want to spend a little more. To search for the pair of shoes we like most we can insert a particular filter that allows us to identify the item according to the greatest discount or according to the brand we prefer. In the "promotions" section weekly discounts are included which can reach up to 50% of the total price. Delivery does not involve any costs and the return is also free if we change our mind within three months. To protect customers, Sarenza has set up a toll-free number and by subscribing to the newsletter you will also be entitled to a welcome offer. Payment can instead be made by credit card or even free cash on delivery.

Private showrooms

The most competitive in terms of prices is certainly Showroom Prive, a portal that today has almost fifteen million members in Italy. It is a real shopping club in which you must register to be able to visit the catalogue. Registration is free and the assortment guarantees a significant quantity of shoes at prices discounted by up to 70%. The prices are so low because the items belong to collections from the previous year, are unsold or at the end of the series. A difference compared to other sites of this kind is that each product is often only available for short periods of time as it belongs to limited stocks. So it's a good idea to pay attention to the sales calendar that is sent to members via e-mail. Each sale usually lasts 4 days and you need to have a certain timing to get the purchase. Delivery, however, depends on the individual sale and can take place in a few days or a few weeks. In fact, the timing varies depending on the distance from the various warehouses of origin. If we are not satisfied with our shoes, Showroom Prive gives us two weeks to return the goods and receive a refund which will be made with the same payment method (credit card or Paypal).

Privalia

Finally, among the best online shoe stores, we cannot fail to mention Privalia, a private outlet that offers members the opportunity to buy models from the most famous companies with discounts of up to 70% of the list price. To be part of the two million members it is necessary to register for free on the home page to access the vast assortment of articles. Every day we will then receive emails containing the latest and most interesting offers on the portal. If we then invite another person to join Privalia, we and the new member will receive a five euro discount voucher. Each sales session lasts on average between five and ten days and once we have secured the product, it will be shipped via courier in a maximum time of three or four weeks. If by chance we change our mind or are not convinced, we can take advantage of the easy service which gives the possibility of returning the goods without any obligation within two weeks. In this case you will be entitled to a refund of the price and shipping costs. Finally, payments can be made via credit card and Paypal account.
