I've been trying to find new running shoes for the past hour. I want a pair of trainers and a pair of flats for less than $100, but I'm not quite sure if that's possible anymore. I mean seriously, everything is now close to $100 for a pair of shoes. Not to mention I have no freaking idea what I use for shoes anymore. I ran in asic speedstars until they built them up to much. So I switched to Adidas manas. Apparently the manas are built up to be more supportive now to. What the hell...
runningwarehouse.com
there are always 30 to 40 dollar shoes to be had on the Internet or at local running shoes among the closeouts.
last year I got at least six hundred miles out of 18 dollar shoes at tar jay.
I just got a pair of Brooks Green Silence and a pair of New Balance 101s for a total of $101. You can usually find a pair of Nike Zoom Streak XC for <$50. You're not looking hard enough.
what is your definitition of cheap?
my strategy is to type in the shoe i want in nexttag. i can ususally get any shoe i want for $75 or less.

Really? I am interpreting that to mean Target? So are their generic-brand running shoes decent?
i miss the early days of Ebay, when you could buy the best shoes for $19 if you were lucky.

No kidding. Now you can find stuff at Running Warehouse and Eastbay--among others--for cheaper than what people are asking at eBay.
I always get last year's model for 50 bucks.

Right here. I wait for the sales on Roadrunner Sports.
running warehouse had a 20% off deal on gift cards...combine that with the monthly discount and their low prices, you could certainly get two pairs for under $100. I got two pairs of mizuno ronins for around $90 last winter adn they last about 2000 miles for me.
nike zoom xc are cheap as well...about $50 with discounts...maybe cheaper and good for 500+ miles.
Those of you who live in the US are so lucky to get free shipping from Running Warehouse; I've gotten shoes there for under $50 but then had to pay $30 to get them shipped to Canada.
Holabird is every day cheap, and they always have many closeouts.

You are retarded. At that price, the companies that sells the shoes would make little to no profits. Blame the manufactures for the high prices. I know as I am a shoe salesman
Yes, they do.
Just got an email a few days ago from GearBuzz.com, offering Brooks Gylcerins at 50% off. Retail was $130 and I got them for $65. Screaming deal. And they came straight from Brooks, not some third-party vendor I'd never heard of.
I don't normally run in Brooks shoes but at this price, it was worth the chance. So far, nice shoe for easy, long runs.
I also an fortunate enough to get occasional guest passes to the Nike employee store, where everything if 50% of retail, so that helps.
If you shop around (Google is your friend) and keep a sharp eye out, you should have NO problem finding great deals on current in-line shoes.
Madrunner - what is (or more importantly, how do I learn about) the Running Warehouse monthly discount? I buy from them but didn't know about this. (Tried to look it up on their website but it's down.) Thanks!
Runblogger.com will have links to discounts.
The last major sale from runners warehouse was through their Facebook page
streak xc's can be had for around $50
brooks t7s and green silence can be found at runningwarehouse and elsewhere for under 70
if you're looking for even less than that or just trainers or something, check for sale/discontinued/clearance shoes on the websites and local running stores
try google shopping, it lets you sort by lowest price
I go to Shoe Carnival and get the buy one get one 1/2 off. Normally pay $75 for two pairs of shoes.
