Amazon now "looks" at the size, shape, width, depth etc. of all shoe/boots you have purchased from Amazon. Amazon then compares that data to any new shoe/boot size, shape, misc. measurements and tells you if footwear you are now considering will be a match. Like the idea, but it stills makes me a bit... Need new trail boots. I normally look at Danner or Lowa, but they have become awful proud of their footwear, from the tune of $250USD and up. With the economic uncertainty, am now looking at spending less. A lot less as in $60USD. Found Nortiv 8, which get mostly great reviews. My NORTIV 8 Men's Ankle High Waterproof Hiking Boots Review That whole Amazon, shoe fitment thing has me a bit, I don't know, but it claims the Nortiv will fit well.
Well, Amazon claims Nortiv 9.5W will be a match made in China, so I think I will order. However, WalMart has them for $40, so think I will wait until Black Friday and see if Amazon comes down from their current mid-$50. If I do want to return, much rather deal with Amazon
Amazon is easier to deal with - in the contiguous 48 States, that is (can't vouch for other countries). Here (Maui County) it's a month to get any refunds back, you don't want them to 'Amazon credit'. Regular orders take at minimum 5 business days, but 3 if the warehouse happens to stock what you want once or twice a year. The problem is the shipping to get their warehouse stocked, takes 2 wks by ship... so lag for stockage is horrendous (plus 1M citizens live where the main ports are -- Honolulu - so their closest customers get first crack at restock anyway).
meh. I'm sure your shoe size isn't the only data that they have. I use Amazon for vehicle maintenance parts, and they're always asking me to give them my VIN (nearly reasonable for engine and body codes) and license plate number - which to my thinking isn't exactly a "vehicle option." Even though I'm not enough of a navel gazer to worry about my PII in the 21st Century, I said "no" to both. I'm just about bright enough to order parts without Amazon's help, and no....I do not think that Jeffery is lying awake at night worrying that he doesn't know my license plate number.
