Shoe-shopping, round the clock

Today Trendy continues our Ooh La La, Online occasional series on new and cool shopping websites. Shopping in your pyjamas rocks! If only everything in life could be so easy.

It’s Tuesday. And you’re thinking ballet pumps, not bottomlines, stilettos not stylesheets. And cursing a workweek so packed it makes Cinderella look like a beach bum.

When your foot fetish threatens to run away with you, sit back. Switch on your computer. And let the cursor morph into a magic wand that doesn’t believe in deadlines.

Godmamma’s URL is Bigshoebazaar.com. It’s the only Indian portal devoted to footwear, partnered by leading brands like Lotus Bawa, Lee Cooper Femmes, Bags n More and Woodland. In magicspeak, that’s more than 300 designs in sandals, flats, formals and sports shoes.

Our Trendy After-Hours Shopaholic was further floored by the size chart. It’s simple and easy to use and if you’re still in doubt — like she was — they’ll actually get someone with feet the same size to try on the pair before mailing it.

Customer service is extremely courteous. What’s more, if the shoes don’t fit, are damaged or make you unhappy for any reason at all, you can just courier them back. The Kanpur-based store will refund the tab and throw in a few discount coupons.

No glass slippers here. Just happily ever-afters.

Bigshoebazaar.com. Prices start at Rs. 450. Deliveries take a week.
