One of the big advantages to living in Seattle is the proximity to the Brooks outlet store in Bothell. As a big fan of both Brooks apparel and shoes, it's bargain city, baby.
They recently received a shipment of Brooks Adrenaline 9's, so I went up today to see if they had my rather common size, 10 D. It would be fantastic if they would answer the phones so I didn't have to drive 30 minutes to find out, but whatever. I suppose it's good business to make me go there, since if I went that far and they didn't have my size, I'd have to buy something on principle.
Today though, I hit gold. I walked out of there with four pairs of new shoes at $69 a pair. This is a savings of $35 a pair! With these four pairs and two I had already purchased, I may be able to make it all the way through 2010 without having to buy any running shoes. Though, if I decide to do another marathon, then I definitely won't make it on six pairs of shoes.
Anyway, hurrah for me! And hurrah for the Brooks outlet store!
