For me, buying shoes online is a non-starter. A few years ago I swore that I would never again tolerate imperfectly fitting and uncomfortable shoes. They have to be comfortable from day one and remain that way, otherwise I won’t bother, no matter how beautiful and high-quality they might otherwise be.
I don’t see how I could achieve this with buying online. I’ll try a large number of shoes before buying any, and even then, I’ll return them if I feel any hint of discomfort after wearing them again at home for a longer time. Especially since sizes and lasts vary so wildly, even for the same brand. To replicate my current approach online, I’d probably have to order several dozen different types and sizes before I’d have a decent chance of finding something satisfactory.
could be part of the reason leatherfoot died out. people were excited at first but once everyone figured out their sizing you can just order online. a brick and mortar store can never compete with the selection that you can find looking at the hundreds of sites all over the worldProbably 90% of my shoe purchases on line. I think I've returned one pair on the last 5 years because they didn't fit. Your suggestion that several dozen orders would be required to establish decent fit certainly runs contrary to my experience and likely the collective experience of the forum as well.

why would you buy from them if you already know your size. they would carry maybe 20 styles of carmina, carmina.com has hundreds. what are the chance they have a makeup you like more than what is available on carmina.comThey really have not been restocking much since I moved to Toronto and started visiting them, which was 2013. Even when they moved to that spooky house on Avenue Rd, which I was hoping is a new beginning for them. And their on line presence was practically nonexistent.
B&M nowadays is more of a showroom for on-line presence. I think they couldn't have survived with their model.
People that know the difference between CJ and Church's are more likely to be confident buying online.
People that don't, are more likely to go to Harry Rosen.

Hey everyone, reminder of the SF Toronto meetup this Thursday at S&M (Toronto st.). Time is 630-830pm. Raptors game starts at 9pm, so everyone will be home/at the bar in time for the match!
I believe Saint Crispin's had a different business model back then. Now you can go to www.saintcrispins.com use their customizer and order anything you want for cheaper than what leatherfoot was selling for.I bought several pairs from them over the years, including 2 pairs of St. Crispin's.
Thanks, this is useful feedback. Just to clarify -- do you mean only that your jackets turned out too slim for your personal preferences? Or that they ended up uncomfortably tight or not clean-looking? (I like my jackets slim; in fact slimming them down is an alteration I'd commonly need.)
Still don't get your point. Maybe Toronto doesn't have a C&J retailer but is that a blocker which prevents you to own them? Maybe you need to be more savvy with sourcing these items and using proxy services to acquire things which you really want. There are many ways around the issueWith respect to my contention that Toronto is a menswear wasteland, I am referring more so to the CM landscape and am comparing to other North American cities of similar size and stature, i.e. NYC, SF, Chicago, etc. When comparing availability of different tailoring and shoe brands, Toronto is way behind. Not to mention the overblown pricing which I understand is partially related to Canada's unfair taxation. Toronto has one EG retailer, no C&J retailers, etc. from the shoe perspective. Few travelling tailors visit and when some have, I'm not sure how the reception has been. It doesn't seem like many tailors are clamouring to visit even though they make regular visits to NYC and Chicago which are a one hour flight away. For a city of 3 million plus people with the GTHA having probably 5 million people, Toronto leaves a lot to be desired compared to other similar cities.
