I don't buy running shoes online but 6pm.com has good prices. They are owned by Zappos and the prices go up and down so watch them regularly.

+1 on holabird. thats where I always get my running shoes.

eastbay.com has a really cheap clearance section with a huge selection. The shoes get cheaper and cheaper the less sizes they have left. Sometimes it pays to keep looking after you found the shoe you want..they might have the same shoe with a different color with even less sizes left

I can't even remember the last time I bought sneakers from any place other than Holabird (including this past Saturday). At least 15+ years ago

www.rnjsports.com

Not the widest selection, but good prices with free shipping over $65. They're based outside DC and ship to Chicago in 2 days.

Holabird

I haven't paid over $40 for a pair of shoes since 2010. I check the forums here and beginner triathlete to buy/sell minimally used shoes sometimes.

runningwarehouse.com clearance is great.

sierratradingpost.com sometimes gets decent shoes (snagged grid tangent 4's there in 2011 and fastwitch 5 this year).

Limited selection though. They well and truly sell only closeout items and discontinued models and so on. Shoes and wetsuits can be had for crazy low price, if they happen to have what you are looking for.

Otherwise look no further than Amazon.com.

It goes without saying: make sure the shoes fit you.

I'm not a big fan of Road Runner Sports. The two stores near me are staffed 80% by kids who don't give a rat's ass because they really really don't want to be there, plus 20% old/retired runners. Besides, I'm pretty sure they sell our personal information. All businesses with memberships and loyalty programs and whatnot, they all do that. That's the whole point of it.

another + for Holabird Sports

I find the manufacturer's websites often have the best deals. Holabird definitely has a good price but $5 more than brooks.com for the Ghost.

Personally, I get lightly used (demo or store model) shoes off Ebay for the best price.

I bought from holabirdsports once about 5 years ago and I will never buy from them again. They sent me two different sized shoes. I didn't notice at first and went on two runs in them, but I was getting blisters which I never get. After the second run I looked at sizes and noticed the problem. So I call them and explained what happened and at first they weren't going to let me return them because I ran in them. Then they decided that I could return them but they would send out the correct show until they got the wrong shoe. Finally I talked them into sending out the correct shoe when I put the wrong one in the mail. Then I asked about paying for the shipping to return the wrong shoe and they didn't want to pay for the return shipping. Finally after 4-5 phone calls they agreed to ship the correct shoe right away and would include a paid shipping label in the box for the wrong shoe. The customer service agents were all rude and unhelpful. They might have cheap prices but if anything goes wrong expect to waste a lot of your time to fix the issue. Maybe they fixed the problem but I won't chance it again.

Bought some cheap Asics earlier this year. Great prices. Shipped same day out of Ohio, which is nice when you live in the East and so much stuff usually ships out of California. I got my shoes in 2 days.

For cheap -- all of the suggestions here are good but frankly, I have found that a simple Google search on the name of the make/model of shoe I want (plus a bit of patience to read through many, many results) almost always gets me a better price than I find at any of these places (and I really do buy from almost all of them). Plus, when you find a place with a decent price, then google something like

"<name-of-store> coupon"

and you'll often find an online coupon that saves you more

If you find a great price at a place you aren't sure about, google

"<name-of-store> reviews"

or

"<name-of-store> experiences?"

And if it turns out to be a scammer, you'll know about it as long as you have the patience to read through a bunch of the results. Don't just stop with a few results. Sometimes scammers plant their own. But the good news is that running shoes are generally such a low-margin item that you don't get scammers with them like you do with, say, bikes.

What one poster said about Holabird is true. You can get great shoes at great prices from them but God help you if you need to return anything. Their customer service is legendary (at least on running forums) for not being good. I've rolled the dice about 5 or 6 times with them and been very happy

Just recently I found what feels like my long-distance dream racing flat. I had low expectations initially, having run in the predecessors so I wasn't about to spend much to try them out. But doing all of the above allowed me to find them just over $40 in the color when other places were selling them for $70. So I took a chance and I liked them so much after one run that I immediately bought 3 more pairs.
