how do you know the size will be correct?

and where do you shop if you do?

how do you know the size will be correct?

and where do you shop if you do?

there's a few good shops:

ZAPPOS (http://www.zappos.com/n/es/d/722000858/page/1.html)
Zappos is fly, but you gotta dig and they don't carry Nike.

ONE SWEET PAIR (http://www.onesweetpair.com/)
OneSweetPair is a good place, but really expensive.

NIKE ID (http://nikeid.nike.com/nikeid/index.jhtml;nisessionid=3GNGFKBP13THOCQFTBDCF3Y?_r equestid=14467476)
I really like this site. I have 10 pairs of Air Max 90's on ice ready to print from this site. I'm really proud of them all, someday I'll have them made, but if you look directly at them you may become blind.

Happy shopping my man, send my some images of the new kicks, I promise I'll be nice.

i bought a pair of shoes online once and they were two different sizes. according to all the labels on em they were the same but when you put the two sole-to-sole you could tell one was longer by half a size. i guess it's funny now but i remember it pissing me off.

When I want to change up what I'm wearing for exercise shoes, I go to stores and find the model that I want and I get sized. Then I buy those shoes in the store. After that, I buy that model/size online through http://www.roadrunnersports.com.

you purchased them at the store and online?I buy the initial pair at the store where I was sized and where I tried the shoes out. Then, when I need replacement shoes, I buy them online from that point on.

A lot of runners go into specialty running shoe stores to find a model and get sized and try the shoes out on the indoor track, then they leave without buying the shoes and they get them online. I think that's a nasty thing to do, to waste the salesman's time like that and to use the store's resources and then to buy the shoes somewhere else. So I buy once from the store that invested some time in me and then after that, I get them from the discount place.

I wear different sizes depending on the maker so like if I'm buying adidas on line I go check and see what size the majority of my adidas are and buy that size. Same thing for other brands every now and again you get burned but for the most part it works
