Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Shoes
Are you trying to find quality shoes for a great price? Everyone knows they can get expensive, and getting the right pair, both in terms of style and price, is always important. More and more people are finding that by first searching online for the exact pair they want they are more likely to get the right deal on the exact pair instead of paying too much for a pair they may not have been looking for.
Naturally you have a lot of options, from the brand, style, the color scheme, and where you purchase from. Prior to choosing a shop though there are a number of things you may want to consider. First, are you looking for brand names or less expensive generic brands? Generic brands in some instances can be a near match to name brands, but often they may be of a lower quality or have minor flaws in the design or stitching. Other things to think about are the type you need, a dress shoe, casual, something for sports or working out, etc. Size is important and one of the major problems is often a shoe will not be available in a specific size. Finally price is always a concern. Depending on your priorities, overall style and colors are also very important.
It is suggested you consider a number of sources prior to choosing a place to make a purchase from. Business.com offers a number of helpful links to quality sources.

Supplies for Shoes
Find supplies for shoes to protect, preserve and repair themBy Chris Lee Moore If you are in the shoe business, you need more than just a wholesale shoe supplier. Whether you're in designer shoes, business shoes, athletic sneakers or boots, there are plenty of supplies you'll need to go with them. Both you and your customers want to keep shoes in good condition.
While supplies like spare laces and cleaners might be available from the wholesale shoes distributor, you may need to search elsewhere. This can be especially true for less mainstream products like children's shoes and designer shoes. You would do well to stock:
1. Options for storing footwear.
2. Supplies for cleaning and repairing shoes.
3. Replacement parts like laces and socks.
Get equipment to store and protect individual and wholesale shoes
There are two basic kinds of storage units that can or need to have. There are supplies to preserve shoes prior to selling (primarily shoe trees). Then there are storage units you could sell directly for consumers to use after purchase.
Try:
The Container Store has all different types of shoe storage units for any place, be it in the closet, under the bed or on the floor. Request wholesale information about the shoe trees available from Shoe Shine Express. Neat Containers has a popular shoe storage system that can be customized for your business or your customers' space.
Stock cleaning supplies for footwear
Shoes that are kept clean and polished will last much longer, reducing the need to purchase new shoes sooner than later. Shoe sellers who provide these protective supplies can build a more trustworthy relationship with their clients.
Try:
Kiwi Shoe Products has many shoe care supplies, including polish, dyes, shoe cleaners, waterproofers and suede care products. Liberty Industries carries a wide supply of mechanical shoe cleaners, like heavy-duty brush machines, wet shoe scrubbers and vacuum shoe cleaners.
Provide repair and replacement parts for women's and men's shoes
Repairing shoes may be as simple as replacing the laces, or it may involve actual repair to the body. Shoe stores definitely want replacement laces for sale, and perhaps simple repair supplies that consumers can use themselves. Those in the shoe repair business will need to stock up on all repair supplies.
Try:
Louis Birns and Sons has a whole catalog of shoe repair supplies, including heel pads, threads, tongue pads and Velco products. Concord Enterprises carries many types of shoelaces for different types of women's and men's shoes.
