  General Questions
return to contents
 
 

What is the difference between Patent, PU, Stretch and Leather material?
Patent, either patent leather or patent pu, the latter being a man made material, has a very shiny, almost mirror like appearance. Pu, short for polyurethane, is a semi-shiny to non-shiny man made material designed to be less expensive than leather. Stretch, either patent or pu, is a thin, stretchable material, which allows it to fit to the contours of the feet or legs. Leather, usually having a supple and comfortable feel and with a texture pattern, is the highest quality material of all used in shoemaking.

How do you convert a man’s shoes size to a lady’s shoes size?
All Shoes fit differently. Our best rule of thumb is a two-size increase. A man’s size 9 shoe or boot converts to a woman’s size 11.
Please check our conversion chart for more information.

How can I remove glue marks on the shoes?
Use lighter fluid. Ordinary lighter fluid applied to a white rag will remover the glue. You can also use glue thinner which can be purchased from any shoe repair shop.

How can I change batteries on a light-up shoes?
Peel up the silver sock lining material where the ball of the foot touches, carefully remove the lighting mechanism, replace the old battery with the new one, place it back, and, using hair dresser, blow hot air at the back of the sock lining material where the glue was for a few seconds, then firmly press it back.

Do you send Catalogues?
Shoes Online does not offer printed Catalogues. We handle so many different products that it would be impractical to maintain and keep track of printed Catalogues for all of them. In addition, sending Catalogues through the mail increases our costs. In order to maintain our low prices, we show the Catalogues on our website.


Do you have a shop in NSW, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, NT & ACT ?
Shoes Online being an online provider doesn't offer appointments.

Telephone orders are also welcome by contacting us on the telephone numbers provided on the “Contact Us” Page.

Privacy

How we handle the information we gather when you visit our web site Web server activity logs

Like most web servers on the Internet, our servers collect and store all of the information that your web browser sends when it requests a web page, including:

  • the name, domain, and numerical internet address of the "host" computer (typically a computer belonging to your Internet Service Provider and not your personal computer) from which you access the Internet. For example, your host computer's name is 38.107.191.96 and its numerical address is;
  • the date and time you accessed our site;
  • the Internet address of the web page that you came from (for this visit that address is );
  • the page you requested from our site and the number of characters sent to your computer; and
  • the information your web browser software sends as its so-called "User Agent," which typically identifies the browser software and may also indicate the operating system and type of CPU used in your personal computer. Your User Agent information is CCBot/1.0 (+http://www.commoncrawl.org/bot.html)).

It is impossible to determine the actual identity of an individual user from this information.
The logs are periodically summarized and analysed in order to study site usage over time and to perform other studies to help us improve the site's organization, performance, and usefulness.


Electronic mail
When you send us personal identifying information via e-mail (that is, in a message containing a question or comment, or by filling out a form that e-mails us this information), we use it to respond to your requests. We do not retain or distribute lists of e-mail addresses to any parties outside of Shoes Online except as necessary. In no event, do we distribute lists of e-mail addresses to anyone.


Online surveys
When you voluntarily provide us with personal information as part of an online survey, we use it to perform various quantitative and qualitative analyses to improve customer service and satisfaction. You are under no obligation to participate in such surveys. Non-participation will not inhibit your use of our web site in any way. If you provided the information to us in error, you may request its removal at any time.


Ordering products
When you voluntarily provide us with personal information such as name, shipping and billing address, and credit card number when ordering products online, we use the information to fulfil your order. We may forward the information collected to contract personnel or to other computer systems (such as secure electronic commerce servers) to complete the requested transaction.


Marketing information
We may collect information from you, with your permission, that will allow us to provide various customer services, such as promotional materials and product availability notices. We may forward the information collected to contract personnel to provide specific marketing services. We will remove such information at your request.


Collection and release of gathered information
We want to make it clear that we will not obtain personal identifying information about you when you visit our web sites, unless you choose to provide such information to us. Except in the course of officially authorized law enforcement investigations, or in the event of a suspected attempt to deliberately circumvent our system's security with the intent to gain unauthorized access or to do physical damage (for example, an attack by hackers), we do not attempt to identify individual users or share any information we receive with any parties outside of Shoes Online. In the latter case, collected information associated with a suspected intruder might be shared with an incident response service such as the CERT® Coordination Center.


Retention of collected information


Cookies - Some applications may save a "cookie" on your computer's hard disk to provide a temporary history of actions taken. A common example is the tracking of items placed in an online "shopping basket." We do not retain any record of "cookies" beyond what is necessary for running the application.


Web server activity logs - Monthly extracts of the log files are archived and stored off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time. Some statistical summaries derived from these data may be retained online or off-line at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.
E-mail - Information collected via e-mail will be retained at our discretion in a directly readable form for as long as necessary to complete our response. The e-mail itself may be retained in an archival form as required by Federal laws and regulations governing the retention of historical records of government agencies.


Online surveys - Information collected via online surveys may be maintained at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.


Marketing information - Such information may be maintained at our discretion for an indefinite period of time.
