Sneaker shopping is not easy
December 9th, 2008 by jgradoI find it so hard these days to buy a pair of sneakers. As a young kid, I’d buy the latest “Pumps” or Jordans. Now that I don’t care to resemble my favorite basketball player, things are difficult.
You go to the shoe store and there are too many styles, colors, brands, and types. Not to mention I don’t particularly think many look appealing. They all have that one thing that forces it into the “NO” section for me. Maybe it’s me, maybe I just do not have taste in athletic shoes, but then maybe it’s not. Maybe most people feel this way. Maybe its weird designers who just do not know how to make a decent shoe, feeling the need to design the next big fad.
And because these sneakers are designed this way, they’re expensive. Especially if you want extra comfort like gel pockets or heel springs. When I find a pair of sneakers that I like, I want to just buy out their inventory so I have backups and do not need to go back through the shoe shopping process.
My last pair I bought was at Finish Line at the mall in my town. Found a simple pair of Adidas reasonable and comfortable. Once I got home, I went online and ordered 3 more pairs of sneakers at a discount with an online coupon I found for Finish Line. It’s great these companies are offering discounts, especially around the holidays.
