Little from column A, little from column B I've owned several pair of Docs so I know how they'll fit me. I'd feel comfortable buying them online. Besides, the folks that sell Docs around here mainly carry their trendier, clunkier stuff.. I buy running style shoes online because I'm quite familiar with how my favorite brands fit me.

Rockports and other brands.. I'd probably try to find a local retailer that at least sells the brand so I can see how the brand in general fits. If I can't find the exact model, that Zappos store has free shipping and free return shipping if they don't fit right.

How's about Clarks? People seem to be talking highly about them on Zappos.
