Comfort around the heel and toes is more important than super fancy design. I do not trust only the star rating, I like to see detailed photos and longer comments. When I test a new shop I usually start with one or two items instead of a huge order. Clear product descriptions save time and reduce the chance of disappointment. For daily use items I try to balance price, build quality and real user feedback. If the first order is a disaster, I prefer to move on and not waste time with support.
If anyone is interested in real user experiences, I sometimes write short notes about the shops I test.

That is why I sometimes leave comments myself when I test a new shop or product. Sometimes one good quality item is better than five very cheap ones. Some charts are very generic and do not match real measurements at all. Reading comments with real body photos is one of the best ways to check sizing. At least here we can see more honest opinions and not only polished marketing content. Cheap frames can look nice at first but bend easily or become loose after a few weeks.
