About a year ago I finally found a shoe model that fits my hobbit like feet, the Altra Impulse. Unfortunately it looks like that are phasing that particular model out. I'm hoping to stock up on a few pairs before they're completely gone. Several years ago I found a store that sells recently discontinued models for pretty reasonable prices, but I can't remember what it was called.

I get all my running shoes here. I search under Sale Shoes for last years models. I've never paid over $55 for new running shoes on this site.

Give Running Soles a shot. This is a Veteran owned store (retired 1SG) that is on his game. If nothing else, give them a call and ask for the 1SG!

Not really a negative, just super hard to find a good fit for.

I emailed but they're already out of my size. All they have left are super tiny or Shaq like sizes.

Do you have a Big 5 Sporting Goods store near you? They always have the best prices on shoes every week they have sale ads. The price of shoes are double in Canada so when I come to California for training I go to Big 5.

I remember seeing them in CA, but nothing around here unfortunately. Academy is the big sports chain in these parts.

UPDATE: I was finally able to find the shoes, BUT the manufacturer is having a sale on the supposedly updated version for a few bucks cheaper so I ended up buying a pair of those instead.
