Tips for Buying Shoes at US Online Stores

The sites of American brands often show prices in rubles, which have already been converted at the old exchange rate. Based on this, it is recommended to compare prices in dollars and rubles, and then choose a more suitable currency.

  2. Adults are advised to buy the right product at the end of the season. At this time, in many stores, prices are discounted and gifts are offered.
