I am not sure, I think the tax is: VAT on the value of the product and the shipping together.

To make that more clear lets say the shoes cost 50 Euro and to shipping costs another 50 Euro you will pay 15 Euro VAT, maybe a couple more Euro for Custom fees.

Again I am not 100% positive.

My experience of 'one off purchases for personal use' from outside the EU is that the post office grab the parcel then charge just about what ever they like on the day (Plus VAT)...
