Shoes for a cloggie

Factual Questions
1

I saw some awesome shoes at an online American store. They approve of my creditcard, but won’t deliver overseas.

Before I ask one of my American friends to use their address, so they can send it to me, [I’ll pay for the postage, ofcourse] I have a question:

Is this legal?

I will Google for it, but don’t know where to search.

Thanks.

Why wouldn’t it be? The U.S. certainly won’t care. The only thing I can think of is that you might have to pay tax/import duties on your end. I do this sort of thing for friends all the time (and vice versa).

Thanks Eva Luna. I’ll check for import tax.

[You can’t imagine the stupid shoes they sell over here. I have no other alternative.]
