I used to always get my Asics Cumulus year old model for 49.99 somewhere (usually Eastbay). Now I can't seem to find them (or anything else for that matter) at a decent clearance price anywhere online. Do I really have to breakdown and start spending $80 for shoes? What does everybody do? Any recommendations?
A- Start working at a running store so you can buy the shoes wholesale. B- Become friends with the owner of a running store who will sell them to you for wholesale. C- Start a running shoe store. D- Run fast enough to get a shoe contract. Other then that.. you might just need a part time job.
bought some H streets at an outlet 2 weeks ago, that was cool.
found a pair of pegasus on ebay for $44.
right now on ebay there are tons of pegasus and pegasus racers for $39 i think. go to 'sporting goods' then running, then footwear, then shoes. click the mens link, and then look.
ebay is generally a good place if you know what you want. make sure you know what shoe you are getting and what size you wear in that shoe. i for one have had several pairs of the pegasus that i bought and knew the shoes would fit me.
also, try
the pictures might not work, but they're prices are reasonable. call and ask for hook ups.
Oh, I have a full time job. I'm just cheap...and a grad student. Any recommendations for someone who has enjoyed Cumulus and Adidas Response Cushion but is willing to try other shoes?
Is the Pegasus pretty comparable to the Cumulus? How bout the Saucony Grid Trigon? I've found those for cheap.
Saw these Jasari's on ebay, wrong size....
I have been buying Saucony 6000's since they came out and now pay $49.99 directly from one of their stores.
So yes, you can still buy a good pair of shoes for $50!
I'd also think that it's due to a little thing called inflation as well.
Yes you can still get good shoes for under $50. Go down to Wallmart and try on several different models. You are sure to get several pairs under $50. Replace every 300miles and your good to go. If you limit your options to one brand and it happens to be one of the most popular brand sure you are always going to pay more than you want.
You used to be able to buy a nice house for 100k in a nice place. Now I can't seem to find any at a decent clearance price anywhere online (just Compton and Watts). Do I really have to breakdown and start spending more for a house? What does everyone else do?
Lots of reasonably priced beachfront property in Sout Asia. Of course there are the cleanup issues and the Tsunami warnings.
I live in a carboard box.

Is it true that when you buy a house from that site, you sometimes find "special" things in the refrigerator and medicine cabinet?

I think she sold Tim and Marion their house...let's ask them!
Most $50 namebrand shoes are designed for "runners" who uses them to be fleet of foot incase they have to hurry up to catch the bus.
There are still some decent shoes out there for around $60...but they are no gel cumulus, that's for sure
Here's how I look at it.
Let's say you buy a pair of shoes for 80 bucks, which typically means it's a decent pair (not always, but usually) and you can get somewhere between 400 and 500 miles on the suckers. Now, let's say you run 80 miles a week, which you probably aren't if you're a grad student and looking for cheap shoes. This 80 dollar pair of shoes is going to last you about 5 or 6 weeks on that kind of mileage, so that's between about 14 and 16 bucks a week that you are paying to run on those shoes. If you're working at $8 per hour, which you're probably not, then 2 hours out of your 40 hours per week of full time work, or 5% of you're earnings, goes to staying in fresh, safe shoes and running injury free. Personally, I would pay way more than 16 bucks a week to stay injury free, and remember, that's if you buy expensive shoes that don't last too long and run them into the ground. You'll probably be spending under 10 bucks a week on shoes, and that's probably less than an hour's work for a grad student. Spring for the good stuff, your feet will thank you.
zappos.com tends to have a lot of running shoes and (surprisingly) spikes for good prices. Also...see if your running store carries old models...eg when the 2006s come out...you can usually get a very good price for the 05s.
Big five has lots of sales on saucony and asics under 50 dollars
