    Is it cheaper than anywhere else?

        You're comparing a local store to Amazon? Half the deals here probably won't be cheaper than Amazon.

        How much is shipping?

        What is Amazon's policy on returns if the size is incorrect? Do you have to pay for return shipping?

        Shipping is pretty cheap. Amazon pays for return shipping.

        Do you actually know any specifics, or did you just assume amazon is cheaper than whatever is available on this deal?

        For the first five or so shoes I looked at, it was significantly cheaper (including shipping).

        ARe you looking at the shoes on sale?
        The MT510 I was looking at is virtually the same price (Amazon is cheaper by tens of cents), but I'd much prefer the local shipping speeds and free exchange in case of a bad fit.

        Are you sure Amazon pays for return shipping if it doesn't fit?

  cheaper to buy from endless.com (which is owned by Amazon) - and probably quicker delivery time as well (I've ordered from them about 6 times, and the longest it's taken from order to delivery is 4 days - and thats from the US)

  or if you want a bigger variety try eastbay.com - just wait for there 15% / 20% off coupons every so often

    Thank you for the comparison information, I am sure that helps some people.

    But voting negative isnt right.

    2 points

    1. Its against our guidelines, to compare an overseas deal with a local deal. Read the guidelines please.
    2. Voting down a deal can lead to the deal being hidden, which also hides the information that you provide, which can lead to a better bargain being found by the members.

    they dont have all of the same stock, some prices are cheaper at endless, some are more expensive (before you even looking at shipping and currency conversion) … unjustified neg …

  if you have a wide foot, new balance is the only way to go for sports shoes …

    asics have a good range too for wide feet…

      Asics has some, but NB has a larger 4E range. I wish every manufacturer would make 4Es.

        i have a wide foot. love my NB 6e's. I also find that GLOBE size 13 fit me perfect.

        With large and wide feet, I also have the problem of only having only 2 shoes to choose from every time I shop in-store.

        After living with New Balance and Asics for 12 years, the most comfortable running shoe I've since discovered costs ~$12 dollars in K-Mart. They're white, they're light and they'll last all of 2 months - but they're perfect. The material they're made from is light, flexible and won't rub anywhere around your foot.

        However, they are not at all suitable for rock-laden surfaces (the rocks tear right through the shoe!). And they no longer sell my size (13).

        For an interesting read, check out:

        http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1170253/The-...

        "Runners wearing top-of-the-line trainers are 123 per cent more likely to get injured than runners in cheap ones". Hmmm…that's why I'm a cheapskate.

        That article seems to imply that every person in the world has exactly the same type of feet, and one solution - bare feet - is best for everybody.

  Just spent a whole night doing research over the prices… the shoes aren't worth it. There's no savings compared to overseas which might offer an even cheaper price. Just bought a pair of compression tight skins though which was a $20 saving compared to the cheaper price.
