In the end there is no perfect shop but some stores are clearly more consistent. i think it is better to build a small collection of reliable products than to buy random cheap things. if anyone has long term experience with certain online shops i am always curious to read it. comfort around the heel and toes is more important than super fancy design. if anyone is interested in real user experiences i sometimes write short notes about the shops i test. you can find one of the pages here: see more details at least here we can see more honest opinions and not only polished marketing content. if many different people say the same thing about a product it is worth paying attention. i also think about how easy it is to track a parcel once it ships. cheap frames can look nice at first but bend easily or become loose after a few weeks. i prefer simple designs that do not depend only on heavy filters in the pictures. i like when a shop clearly shows pd lens height and bridge width in millimeters. when every picture has different colors or extreme filters it is usually a bad sign. i enjoy reading threads where people honestly share what worked and what failed for them. maybe this is useful for someone.
