Author: Not a day goes by that we do not hear or read about someones identity being stolen. When we first started shopping over the internet this was always a concern. With the technology now being used by internet shoe stores having your personal information stolen is no longer a concern.
For our discussion today we will use Shoebuy.com as an example, keep in mind that any of the other shoe websites will be using a system very similar if not the same.
Purchasing on-line at Shoebuy is statistically safer than using your credit card at a restaurant or department store. Technical professionals point out that on-line purchases lacking human involvement are far safer than traditional credit card transactions since the information is instantly encrypted into a scrambled message that can only be decrypted by an approved computer. Shoebuy’s servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, and AOL’s browser, so that only Shoebuy.com can read a buyer’s personal information.
Millions of people have now shopped safely over the internet. Yes, your on-line purchase will be very secure. If by chance unauthorized charges are made to your credit card as a result of shopping with Shoebuy.com, you will pay nothing.

It’s always comforting to know that you are ordering from a secure website.
I really like the Rockport shoes but I just have to wonder about shopping for shoes online in general. I guess my information is secure but these days, you just can’t help but wonder.
I am a personal shopper and I have purchased many, many shoes from Shoebuy.com, Zappoes.com and, recently, Endless.com and I have never felt that my security was in jeopardy. Just the opposite actually because of the reasons mentioned in the above article. Very re-assuring.
