Buying shoes online: encyclopedia entry

Online shoe retail

Online shoe retail is the sale of footwear through websites and apps with delivery to the buyer or pickup in store. The buyer chooses a model by photos, description and size chart, and tries it on upon receipt.

Quarantine and online shopping

After Ukraine introduced a COVID-19 quarantine in March 2020, a large share of shopping moved online. Shoe shops switched to order pickup and delivery, and buyers got used to trying shoes on at post offices. Ukraine lifted the quarantine in summer 2023, but demand for online orders remained.

Payment methods

In Ukraine, common options are card prepayment, cash on delivery — paying on receipt at the post office — and paying in store on pickup. Postal operators usually charge a money-transfer fee for cash on delivery, so paying online is often cheaper.

Loyalty programmes

A cumulative discount is a loyalty programme in which the discount grows with the number of purchases. It is usually linked to a phone number or customer card and doesn't apply to sale items.

Seasonal sales

Footwear is strongly seasonal, so shops cut prices at the end of a season to make room for new collections. Large one-off promotions such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday take place at the end of November.

Buyer's rights

Ukrainian consumer protection law allows shoes of proper quality to be exchanged or returned within 14 days if they haven't been worn and their original condition and proof of purchase are preserved. Shoes are also covered by a warranty period.

Questions and answers

How do I find out my loyalty discount?

Give your phone number when ordering or at the till — the discount is applied automatically. You can check your level on the Payment page.

Can the discount be combined with promotions?

No. The loyalty discount can't be combined with other promotions or promo codes and doesn't apply to items with a crossed-out price.

Which is cheaper: pickup or Nova Poshta?

Store pickup is free and ready the same day. If you're not in Kharkiv, Nova Poshta with online payment is cheapest, as there's no transfer fee.

What if the shoes don't fit at the post office?

You only pay a deposit per pair. If you refuse the parcel after inspection, the deposit covers delivery and return.

Can I return shoes bought online?

Yes, within 14 days if the pair hasn't been worn and is in its original condition. See the Warranty page for details.

Is delivery across Ukraine free?

Pickup from our Kharkiv store is free. Nova Poshta delivery is charged at the carrier's rates.
