Internet have changed the way we live. One thing that everybody can take notice is how we can buy and sell things online. This day people almost can buy and sell everything online. From coins to private jets, you can buy or sell that thing trough internet. This is also includes everything that related to basketball.

Basketball Gears(Shoes) Online

If we talk about basketball gears, something that just blast out in my mind is basketball shoes. Nowadays we can find everything about basketball shoes in the internet. You can find actual news about the latest basketball shoes, reviews from user, pictures, and many others without need to go to the store, and this is includes buying and selling shoes.

What I want to talk about is, do we still need to go to the store to buy basketball shoes or just sit in front of your computer and buy it with just an instant click? Buying or selling basketball shoes online or offline have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The Advantages and Disadvantages

If we search the internet, maybe there are hundreds of online store that provide you with better information about basketball shoes that you want to buy. You can compare the price, models, read reviews from user, and many other information that provide you to decide to buy or not. That is absolutely better than you just go to the store and just boxed around available shoes in the store.

Something you must remember, shoes is not an all size things. Every people have their own size of shoes and every shoes have their own standard of their size. Seems funny, but that’s the fact. In my past when I went to the store to buy a pair of new basketball shoes, I told the shopkeeper “My size is X”, the shopkeeper said “Don’t want to try it first?”, and I said “Nahh..” But before I take it home I became curious and (thanks God) I decided to try the shoes. The shoes was too small, although the size written in the shoes was my size.

So, right now I have a little bit hesitation to buy something that have size through the internet. What about you? Do you buy your basketball shoes online or not?
