Default Online Site for buying running shoes

I was wondering if anyone has a site they could recommend or have used to purchase running shoes.

I have worn the same brand/model/size for years.

Shoes cost a lot, so I am looking for ways to save.

Reebok and Adidas (owned by the same company) will have pretty great sales about 4 times a year. You can typically get stuff 60%+ percent off. Assuming you're not the type of person who needs this year's model of shoes, it's a pretty great way to go.

Most of the ones I used are in USD so not really worth it these days. But www.finishline.com was pretty good, cheap for sure.

Don't have a site, but if there is a Nike/Adidas/Under Armour shoe that you like grab me the style # and I'll look into getting it for you at a better price than anyone online.

Check eBay for new and new old stock. YMMV though on size, shipping cost, etc...

Or wait until they do a buy one/get one for 50% (which seems like every other month. Buy two pairs.

Can't help you with the Mizuno shoes but I like Joe's New Balance Outlet for picking up cheap athletic shoes.

I use http://www.pickyourshoes.com/ they got a great selection and they are genuine shoes, no knock offs. They might ship from the states though which brings up the issue of our bad exchange rate, however take a look. Maybe you will like something!

I don't actually have any advice for getting cheap shoes online, but I'm just excited that someone's talking Mizunos. putting a pair of those on is like having Hermes' winged feet, and while they still have those wild running shoe colors, I find them at least a bit more coherent and tasteful than most of the other hardcore running brands.

what I've done in the past is just call up Strides or whatever your favorite running store is, and ask them to order the pair I want in. at the very least it means free shipping.

I switched to them about 15 years ago, it took a while to find the style I liked.


Quality shoe.
