good running shoes for cheap 11/3/2009 12:14PM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
Does anyone know what the best online store i can get good/high quality running shoes for a low price? I know runningwarehouse is pretty good but the discount doesnt apply to mizuno and asics (the 2 brand i happen to use the most). I'm really strap on the amount of money I can spent. So it would be really helpful if anyone know any discount that I can use. So any help is appreciated.

I used to use Vitruvian shoes. Great shoes: simple with no frills at a good price.

Try using cheaper models from those brands (Wave Nexus/Gel Pulse/Gel 1150). They feel similar and you save 15 or so bucks. Failing that, get a part time job in the industry.

Just because you are a college student with less income doesn't entitle you to whatever running shoes you want at whatever price you like... if you like the shoes, respect the people who make/market/sell them enough to pay them fairly for them, otherwise buy something else.

He didn't say he was entitled to anything, just asked for help in getting the best shoes for the best price. Having a bad day?

Back to the question...
Efootwear has been a good source of Asics for our family.

Also, once you have identified a shoe, try Google shopping search. Be sure to check out the cost of shipping as that can make all the difference.

Also, try asking your coach if the school has a sponsor, you can often get good prices if, for instance, Addidas supplies or helps fund your uniforms.
