Anyone know any good (cheap) online websites for shoes?

No need to kick off the support local debate. Obviously i dont agree!

I'd say Rivers for casual...but not sure about athletic shoes?

Are you runnin in them? if so you have to have good shoes.

I had cheap nikes and had he worst shin splins and sore feet. Got some decent asics and made all the difference.

And really you need to try them on. Then go buy them of eBay, mind you they will probably be Chinese ripoffs so it won't matter anyway.

Try wiggle, they do runners.

My missus whilst in Fuertventura last week bought Nike Free Run +3 for 70 euros from a shop. That's about $80AUD - they're $160AUD in Rebel! Fuerter isn't even a big shopping destination...

Sorry, not trying to cause a debate but geez we get ripped off here.

wiggle.co.uk

Do lots and lots of runners cheap. Only need to work out your size but in saying that they have a great return policy.

You find ebay quite fruitful in this regard. It also has different options of category wise, brand wise and etc.

Not your answer but.. Try your local shop's, I'm sure they need the business more than you realize. You pay a little more but you get to try before you buy and generally service with a smile. Paypal never thanks you

More evidence (not that it was needed) that we are being totally screwed.

thanks for the responses all. Looks like wiggle is good and will remember in future for me, was chasing kids runners which none of them seem to do or if they do because they are cheaper anyway there's no advantage. thanks again.

p.s. what about GIANT or Specialised mountain bikes
