Buying heels on Vinted

Downloaded Vinted this week and have been looking at some gorgeous shoes, mostly heels as I'm looking for a pair to wear with a dark blue dress. The shoes all seem far better quality/ more attractive than I was expecting! Pleasantly surprised.

What are your experiences with buying shoes on Vinted? All feeback welcome.

Are you able to try the brand in the shop first to check sizing and then buy from vinted? It's cheeky I know....

I bought a pair of boots which were too big and obviously I had no recourse to send them back. It was annoying but I got them for less than half price so I stuck some insoles in them instead.

Why would shoes be any different to anything else on vinted?

Not heels but I’ve bought a few pairs of converse on vinted. Bought lots of things on there.

I love it personally, the pairs I’ve had have been almost brand new.

Agree with PP it’s handy to know how the brands sizing tends to fall but you can always ask the seller if the sizing is true / big / small etc.

Shoes being the clothing item that is always tricky when purchasing online, for the reason of finding a pair of shoes that fit comfortably is a rare thing. With clothing, I usually order the correct size.

No, most are from previous seasons, not currently available in stores.
