1. Men's Shoes: Shun Away From Possible
Online Scams
When buying men's shoes online, you should be
careful. Scams on the Web and shopping sites
are everywhere, with those selling footwear not
being exempt. It is bad enough when you lose
your money to a scam; wasting your time
waiting for the "delivery" to arrive makes it even
worse. But how do you know if a website is a
fake or not? Here are some tips to help you shun
away from possible online scams.

2. Firstly, when you are online looking for men's
leather shoes, or any other type of footwear, be
sure to check your browser's address bar before
entering your credit card details. When it is time to
pay, the ‘http’ part of the address should change to
‘https’. The change denotes that the website is
using a secure layer, or one that allows for the
secure transfer of information. This means that
your credit card information will not be disclosed to
other parties. However, the online men's shoes
store may not run on https all the time. This is fine.
What is important is that it changes to https when
you are at the checkout

3. Secondly, does the website run on a secure
payment processor? PayPal is widely recognised
as the most popular payment processing method
online. Another company offering the same
service is called Payza (previously named
AlertPay). These companies "hide" your credit
card information when you make a purchase
online. This means that you can confidently shop
for men's shoes and other items online without
fearing the leak of your credit card information. If
you have a PayPal or AlertPay account, you can
also pay without entering in your credit card
information at all

4. It is also a good idea to check if the online store
has physical store too. There are many websites
that are purely online. This means that you
cannot visit them to personally check the men's
leather shoes available. However, there are also
sites that have actual stores. If this is the
case, run a quick search to find out whether that
physical store does indeed exist. You can do this
on Google maps or other such location services.
This leads us on to our final tip...

5. Ensure that the online store has phone and
email support. Many online men's shoes
stores use purely web-based support, via chat
and email. However there are stores that also
post phone numbers. If you see these
numbers, call them up to check that there is a
real person on the other end. Looking for a
phone number isn't only an anti-scam action;
it also ensures that you can follow up faster
on your purchase if needed.
