Take a look at what I recently came across at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/...ing-Sneaker/24626851
The shoes can best be described as "knockoff Nike Frees". They aren't the best looking shoe in the world and they aren't as comfortable as normal running shoes but for $13 they are damn good. I ran a long interval workout in them and only noticed a few hot spots where a blister would probably form if I didn't wear socks. As far as I can tell however, they will make a fine pair of shoes to do short workouts in and also to keep in my trunk for when I forget my standard shoes. The most noticeable downside is that the foam is not as springy as in other running shoes.
Here is some more information for the curious:
Est. Weight: 8oz (they feel the same weight-wise as the Saucony Kinvaras)
Drop: 8mm
Cushioning at Heel: 21mm (.85in)
Sole: foam covered with thin fabric at places, no rubber. fabric will wear off immediately
