Last Year's New Shoes

I recently bought new running shoes. It's always a process to get the right fit. I tried on several pairs before settling on New Balance, a brand I haven't worn before (I've been a Mizuno girl for years). They fit great. As I was preparing to check out, the owner of the store mentioned that they are last year's model. He needed to clear space on his shelf for the new styles coming out and offered them to me for $50. Whoa. What a deal!

So the next time you are shopping for new running shoes, inquire about last year's models and see if you can get a bargain, too.
