I wasn't suggesting buying online after getting advice in the shop.
I buy stuff on the Internet if I know it will fit, so I know I can buy more pairs of my current trainers online with a very high confidence that they'll fit. More often than not the price in the shop is still competitive (especially with various sales and discounts) once you factor in the faff of deliveries, but sometimes there are end of season online deals that just can't be passed up.
Of course, some will claim that I should just pay more and always support the local running shop for every purchase. If money wasn't tight I'd like to think I'd do that.
