Buying shoes from UK/EU websites, cost of returns?

Hey y'all I'm looking to buy a pair of sambas and I really like the prices on these websites: https://www.endclothing.com/us/adidas-samba-og-ig1357.html https://www.sivasdescalzo.com/us/p/samba-og-w-id0477?s_kwcid=AL!12929!3!!!!x!!&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-4aOz_HEhAMVM2VHAR1s7wANEAQYByABEgIpN_D_BwE But considering they don't cover return shipping, is that a risk? Especially if I'm looking at "women's exclusive" colorways where the sizing may be weird? Or am I overthinking it?

And if you have paid for shipping shoes to the EU, how much did that cost you?

is there a brick and mortar where u can try on sambas? i dont think youre overthinking it, paying for shipping returns is a pain in the ass id lock down your size in person first

depends what you plan on wearing, probably 2 tho definitely not 3

Thanks! I think 1 and 2 are my favs (fairly equal), but the appeal of 3 is that it's half the price and the gf likes it lol

What would you wear with 1 or 2? I will search my mind palace and see if those are the kinds of things I wear Haha no worries lol. Both the purple/maroony ones are "womens exclusive" colors, idk if the folks at adidas know something about womens taste that I don't

earth tones, olive fatigues year round, brown cords in cold seasons, cream or beige linen/lightweight cotton in the summer

And that's for both 1 and 2?

looking at it again i think warm neutrals like cream/brown/khaki would be good for 2, while 1 would work better with more saturated contrasting colors like green or maybe yellow and true neutrals like black and white could go with both

Well I'm definitely more of a warm neutral guy than a saturated color guy, and I've been eyeing that brown pair for longer so I think I'm just gonna go with those. Thanks for the advice!
