I am the man for cheap overseas shoes especially Asics. Fix my pooter and I will give you two names. Only kidding. My missus runs alot and only wears Asics so you need to go to Running expo and delivery is around 50 dollars even for half a dozen pairs. We have bought heaps. The other is Wiggle.com, which is the pommy site. Cheers

Post by: jk on May 07, 2012, 07:59:59 AM: We get all our training shoes from Eastbuy in the States, delivered to our door in three and a half days. Some are up to $100 cheaper per pair. Wiggle in the UK is another site used by our work colleagues but we haven't used them yet, they also seem very good.

Post by: seqfisho on May 07, 2012, 08:17:02 AM: I cant remember the site, but I bought a pair of HiTec Hiking Boots to replace my 2nd pair of failed Blunnies >:(, the prices out here for the same style were from $249 to $279, managed to get them for $69 USD plus $12 shipping, had them in about 10 days, why do our prices have to be so high when the dollar is so strong is beyond me, someone, maybe not the retailer is making a killing out of the aussie consumer.

Post by: cruisindub on May 07, 2012, 08:51:03 PM: I've wanted to buy some merrel and salomon shoes, less than half price from states.
just a bit unsureof sizing to go ahead and buy the 4 pairs I would buy. ( or more!)
Title: Re: buyin shoes
Post by: Topender on May 07, 2012, 09:26:42 PM: Wiggle is the place. I have purchased about 4 pairs of asics from them now with no dramas. If you pick it when they have specials running you can usually pick up two pairs for the price you'd pay for one here. I'm all for supporting local, but they can't compete with that. If you know what size you are go for it.
