Is there a sight off the regular Google path that sells running shoes cheapty cheap? My running is actually becoming less painful and tons of fun.
check out the websites of regular high street stores rather than running specialists - they tend to keep up with fashion so sell previous editions off at a decent discount. (eg www.footlocker.com )
Kelly’s running warehouse
Owned by road runner sports I think - has lots of discontinued and last years models for cheap
Also, Zappos.com and Holabirdsports.com can also be cheap

Tibbsy,
I was sort of late to the party, but I’m startin’ to love E-Bay.
I just scored a pair of new Saucony Hurricanes for 17 bucks!! These are usually $110+…they seem like the real thing…I’ve put more than 60 miles on them already and they haven’t self-destructed…
I’d look there first.
another vote for Kelly’s
if you are the right size…Gel Ohana’s for nearly half the early season off the shelf price at most shops.
that’s just sick.
Vitruvian Classics - $30…

I second Vitruvian. They’re inexpensive because they don’t continually change them to appeal to the morons who wear running shoes for casual footwear. Vitruvians are well designed, no choice of colors but always the same, year after year. So they’re inexpensive, not cheap. Amazingly inexpensive!!
A third for Vitruvian. At $30 for the Classics, you can’t find a better value for a great shoe.
great shoes and a honest price
cheyou.
wait, i wear running shoes for casual footwear…
but I don’t feel this is moronic!

- Me too. I have one pair of dress shoes that I wear once a week for about 90 minutes. Other than that, I’m either wearing bike shoes, running shoes or nekkid feet.
“but I don’t feel this is moronic!”

- I’d be worried about that. It’s the whole perspective thing, you know, like the fat broad at the grocery store in stretch pants. She doesn’t feel that’s moronic. Or the old dude in the plaid shorts, paisley shirt and dress shoes with black knee-high socks…
it may indeed be ugly
but its comfy
=)

Finally gave in to the ST peer pressure. Ordered 2 pair of Vitruvian Classics. One for me and one for the misses.
great thread Mr. Tibbs! some of these sites i’ve never heard of! this is great information; maybe i can talk my husband out of his 5 year old saucony’s after all. (fingers crossed)
