what is a good method of SE’ing shoes in general

If you opt for Nike or Adidas, they tend to not open Investigations when using the missing Item/partial method.

Alternatively, provided there are no CCTV cameras In operation, the wrong Item received method Is well-suited to an array of companies.

( get an order of clothes and shoes and SE the shoe? )

It doesn't change the fact that the shoes are too heavy for the PEB/partial. Whether you order 10 Items or 100 Items, It won't make any difference.

For example, given you're planning to SE a pair of sneakers at 1.3 Kg, If the weight at the carrier's depot Is not 1.3 Kg lighter on the total consignment, then the sneakers were not missing.
