    I rather not buy clothes online. Yeah I know, I can send it back if it doesn't fit or something, but it's a lot of hastle. Besides some stores use differend carriers, which are not always nearby if you have to pick-up something.
    I have gotten to the point where i buy almost all of my clothes from Amazon. I absolutely hate clothes shopping, so just pointing and clicking has worked pretty well for me.

    How often have you had to send something back because it doesn't fit right, or they just send the wrong color or something? I'm just curious.

    My regular and waterproof pairs of workboots both wore out over the winter and spring, and I replaced both by purchasing new ones online. It went OK. I might have spent a little less money if I went to a few stores to look, but I didn't feel like it.

    Twice I have traveled and either lost a bag or left stuff out. Went to Goodwill and got my needs fulfilled

    I don't think I have ever sent anything back. I wear pretty standard size stuff. Short sleeve shirts are large, long sleeve shirts extra large (I have long arms). Pants 32 / 34. I can't remember ever buying anything that did not fit. The only time I have had any issues, was last year I purchased some shorts that were from an off brand that I had never heard of before. When I got them, they did not fit very well and I ended up putting them in my pile of clothes to send to Goodwill. When it comes to name brand clothes I have not ever sent anything back.

    I buy all my shoes online too. I have not had any problems, but again I wear pretty standard size.

    I could never buy shoes online. It's all about arch supports and some of the more expensive athletic shoes have the worst support. I just go to Kohl's and buy what I need.

    I have wide feet and high arches. I know exactly what size of New Balance tennis shoes I wear so I can order those straight from Amazon and I know they'll fit. Any other shoe shopping is a nightmare.

    I have an oddball 33" waist size. I used to be able to find 33x34 pants at pretty much any store. Now I can only find them online.

    Not at $100-plus per pair.

    I am having an issue with my left arch. I'm not sure if I injured my heel using a shovel on rock-hard ground or if it is Plantar fasciitis (I'm guessing it is Plantar fasciitis). I've been using arch supports, but they haven't really helped.

    You may know this, but if it’s Plantar Fasciitis (or maybe even if not) put a can of soup, corn, Lima beans, etc. on the floor and roll it around with the offending foot to massage the tendon. It feels great!

    Speaking of being an old geezer. Knee replacement surgery #2 tomorrow morning. My first knee is doing pretty well, although far from 100%. Hope I am ready for this next one.
