Abstract Shoes are probably one of the most difficult products to sell online due to the high need-for-touch (NFT) displayed: people need to experiment the product before buying it, more than in any other item. On another hand, women are more prone than men to buy fashion and apparel products through the web channel. This paper investigates the factors driving women consumers to shop footwear products online. A qualitative research method was used grounded on semi-structured, in-depth interviews that were conducted to corroborate the constructs defined in the proposed conceptual model namely: convenience, recreation, NFT and social e-shopping. The interviews were focused on the demand side to understand the female consumers’ perspective and on the top managers of women’s shoes companies representing the suppliers’ viewpoint. The results show that women highly appreciate the convenience that shopping shoes online provides as well as its recreational nature. The NFT also stands out in the shoe market context mainly due to the particularities related to shoe size. Additionally, social e-shopping was found not be as important for women as anticipated as they see social networks more as a communication platform for brands, and less as a factor that influences their predisposition to shop shoes online. On the suppliers’ side, the interviews revealed that managers believe in bloggers and social media influence and its consideration as part of the overall marketing strategy.

Abstract Objective Internationally, patient–doctor interaction has shifted from the paternalist model to the shared decision-making (SDM) model, which is an essential part of effective management of chronic illnesses, especially diabetes. It is a relatively new concept in Pakistan, and data about healthcare providers’ perspectives are lacking. The aim was to explore significant facilitators and barriers to effective SDM as perceived by endocrinologists. Design A qualitative research using in-depth interviews based on grounded theory was done. It was written in line with the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist. Setting The interviews were conducted at the workplace of the endocrinologist between April and July 2019. Participants Prominent endocrinologists of Pakistan residing in Lahore were approached for in-depth interviews. The transcripts were analyzed simultaneously, and theme saturation was achieved in 11 interviews. Main outcome measures Thematic analysis of data done using grounded theory. Results Four major and two minor themes were identified. The most cited barriers to effective SDM from the doctors’ side were the shortage of time during consultations and the absence of formal training of clinicians in communication skills. However, the patients’ hesitation in questioning the doctor, perceiving him as a paternalist ‘messiah’ in society and lack of education limits their ability to understand and comprehend treatment options. Conclusion There are many barriers perceived by providers as well as clients/patients by effectively using SDM. Local cultural context is influencing a lot.
