There are some great deals that pop up on E-Bay on barely used shoes. Also Craigslist. But, getting the perfect fit on shoes sent via mail is tough. Some shoes run long. Others run short. Some are wide. Some are narrow.

I find Euro sizes are most representative of the shoe sizes, but even that isn't perfect.
