Common Questions
Shoes Buying Guide FAQ
What batch should I pick for SuperBuy shoes in 2026?
Mid-tier batches have narrowed the gap significantly. Focus on seller return policy and shipping speed rather than chasing the highest-tier label.
Do I need to size up?
Most runners fit true to size, but several popular models run narrow. If you have wider feet, go up half a size.
How long does shoe QC usually take?
Expect 2-4 days for standard QC photos. Rush QC services are available from some sellers for an extra fee.
Is the shoe box usually damaged?
Box condition varies by shipping line. If you plan to resell, request double boxing. For personal use, minor creasing is normal.
