Agreed. I have been told by older people, all Boomers, in the last year alone that you can't order the following things over the internet for same day or rapid delivery:

1. Lunch or dinner. (Uber Eats) 2. Fresh groceries and produce. (Instacart) 3. Auto parts. (Amazon Prime Now) 4. And now shoes. (Amazon and soooo many others)

All of these are wrong.

I have been buying Italian motorcycle riding boots over the internet for years and they fit perfectly.

There is very little you can't satisfactorily buy over the internet. Boots, shoes and other footwear are not among that limited number.

I work in designing the truck bodies for Final Mile delivery and grocery is the next big thing and it is coming fast!

Only 1% of groceries are purchased online. Groceries are over $1 trillion market in the US. Just increasing online to 5% is massive dollars and many companies are lining up to capture their share.

I love capitalism!

A big problem for brick-and-mortar retailers is that they’ve become showrooms for savvy shoppers; you could enter the store, try on shoes, then leave and order the exact pair online for less money.

Retailers understand this, and are trying to entice people with different gimmicks.

Hey, why post the giant picture? Do Millies need pictures of everything, like ordering off the menu at Denny’s, or did you just figure no one ever never heard of Italian motorcycle boots before 1980?
