Honestly, I would just like to get 3 sizes with each shipment, try them all on, and pick the best... but without having to advance them 3x the cost of a pair of shoes. I don't find returning to be a big deal. You put the shoes back in the box they came in, print a label, and drop it off at the post office. Still easier than going to a store, and once you know your size for a given brand, you don't have to do this any…

Brands don't have consistent sizes at all. You should watch their pitch from the Launch Conference because they explain this problem.

Good brands tell you which last they use for the specific pair of shoes, so you'll know how they'll fit in advance. New Balance does this, anyway.
