i did some more quick googling and discovered that there is actually a Running Specific store AROUND THE CORNER from my house. As soon as I saw their logo, i remembered seeing it. I was very efficient on my way back from class and with some luck had about 15-20 minutes to look around which has been more than enough time to rule out many shoe stores. i spoke with a nice man who looked at the way i walk and explained what is important in a running shoe and the many things which are not important (including color, but he is a man).

the good news is that none of the shoes were plain white and there many styles that i had seen recommended on various running websites. i only had sandals on, but decided that was ok, because i didn't have time to really try things on. also, in the back of my mind was the thought that this was the first time i was actually seeing many styles in person and i could go back to zappos. it was a bad and evil thought, but it was there. imagine my surprise when i got home to find that some of my target shoes were actually more expensive on zappos. one of them was much cheaper on sierratradingpost.com, but by going back to the neighborhood store i will be able to get it much faster and shipping makes it a bit of a wash.

sigh, still a bit expensive.
