Summary: eObuwie.pl offers over 50,000 models of shoes and they are selling most of them in fully digital brick-and-mortar stores with no merchandise exposition and 4 to 24 hour delivery time. This biggest online footwear retailer in Poland decided to fix all the problems of online shopping (inability to try on selected shoes) and offline shopping (difficulty to search and incomplete stock) by creating a completely unique omnichannel experience.
