What's the most ridiculous deal you've found purchasing running shoes?

Running Shoes/Running Gear Shoes

I was at Marshalls in Denver, Colorado this summer and on the shoe rack I found a pair of GT-2120 brand new, on sale for $29.99. Pretty great deal, but it doesn't stop there. Right next to them I found a pair of brand new Kayanos-13, which is normally a $100+ pair of shoes... for $29.99. What makes this story one for the ages is that miraculously both pairs were in my size, and it was the only pairs they had.

So next time you guys are in a mall or your girlfriend drags you to Marshalls, stop by the shoe rack and you might find a steal.

AMEN!!! Love the Marshalls and TJ Maxx's....but the more people know about it, the fewer deals they'll start to have! Keep it on the DL! But maybe your post will help my husband through the shopping sprees!

A running specialty store in Turlock, Runners' Feet, was blowing out shoes for $25 per pair this summer. My buddy picked up 4 sets of Gel DS Trainers.

Found a pair of shoes normally marked at $120 at Sports Authority. They had them marked down to $49.99. I then had a "friends and family" coupon for an additional 25% off. Final price: $37.49 before tax.

I also found a pair of the Mizuno Wave 8 in the bargain bin at Sports Authority for $24.99.

That's only the last 2 years too. I can't count high enough to remember any before that.
