Also try on a pair of shoes online. Let me know how that goes for you. What an utterly ridiculous claim “ As soon as you are allowed to do something in a shop, it must be possible to do it online” is, it’s never been the case and barring significant advances in technology will not be the case for the foreseeable future.
I don't really care about US laws.
In the EU there is a 14-day right of return for online purchases.
Precisely because it is impossible to try out when buying this way.
