Before the Internet was in every house and undersea pod-dwelling in America, OnlineShoes was using it to send name-brand footwear to doorsteps across the country. The e-commerce shoe company opened in 1996 and has since expanded to offer more than 300 shoe brands to customers in more than 100 countries.

OnlineShoes has an admitted streak of wanderlust, and thus a fondness for athletic and outdoor designs, including walking shoes from ASICS and Clarks and practical boots from UGG and Frye. Customers can also find a shoe that fits more dressed-up occasions, thanks to pumps and oxfords from many top designers.

Because buying shoes without trying them on can be intimidating, OnlineShoes gives customers free exchanges and lets them return shoes within 365 days of purchase. And shipping on regular and sale items is always free, too.
