It all depends really.. Sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn't.. My boss had plane parts delivered from America and the senders didn't pay enough postage so he had to pay £30 when it got delivered.. But if the shoe people pay enough postage it'll be fine.. xxx

i think it depends on the value, because of custom tax etc the hm rev and custom page should be able to help you Xx

the free postage maybe to send in usa, clarify with them that it is free to uk and that all postage and customs will be paid x

Free shipping is probably only for items that are shipped within the US. I'd send them an quick email to get clarification.
About customs duty from HMRC: All other goods
If you order or send purchased goods other than alcohol, tobacco, perfume and toilet water from a country outside the EU then you:
*don't have to pay Excise Duty *may have to pay Customs Duty on goods with a value that exceeds £135 *will have to pay import VAT on goods with a value that exceeds £15
Note that on all goods from outside the EU, Customs Duty is waived if the amount of duty calculated is £9 or under.
