My Amazon experience for clothing and shoes is roughly the same as for all other Amazon products; I visit a physical location to actually peruse/test the product (in this case, try it on) and then order it cheaply online.
Do you have specific pain points, or is it the innate difficulty in online shopping for clothes?

Because so many of us (including myself) now behave in this manner, I'm fairly convinced that most brick and mortar stores will have to assume an "annual dues" model a la Costco to survive. (and offer some form of competitive advantage over Amazon, of course -- ex: focusing on item discovery rather than cookie cutter merchandise, etc.)
- AJ007 14y agoI can't speak for the other poster, but for me, its mostly a sorting problem. I do think Amazon has improved on this a lot. In the past I would find multiple listings, for the same product, from different merchants, under different names. As an example, if I am looking for a specific Diesel jean I have waist, length, wash, and cut. The wash might be either described correctly, "0073N", or incorrectly "Dark blue." Looking at it now, this is much improved over where it was just a year ago. On the other side of things, Amazon has a problem with fake products getting in their inventory by third party sellers being labelled as genuine -- another issue that has been getting better (The iPhone Charger listed as by Apple but priced like an iPhone app, was there for years.)
