Chubz Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I'm never one for getting excited about shoes. I love work boots, but I was visiting friends this weekend (without the kids) and we were at the mall, had some time to kill so I popped into a shoe store to check out some athletic shoes. Normally, I get something trail runny thats on sale and those will last me 3-5 years when cycled with other pairs from years b4. I have been working out like a madman lately so I thought I might treat myself. One pair caught my eye and the kid came over to see if I needed help. He fetched a pair and brought them out. Now normally I am price driven but as soon as I put these shoes on it was like heaven. light comforatble, sturdy, etc. He says these just came in yesterday and they are getting great reviews. But at $160.00 I had to walk away. Doing some research this morning I found a few websites with prices ($62) that I have trouble believing they arent knock offs. Tell me what you think. By the way the shoe is the Nike Air Max 2009 running shoe. I am not normally a Nike supporter but these shoes felt great. I like them for many reasons but they are built more like a trail shoe than normal running shoes, especially the tread. its pretty meaty. Are these knock offs. http://www.sneakerfeet.com/mensnikeairmaxmensnikeairmax2009-c-315_316_531.html I found at least 4 other sites with extreme discounts and the exact pics from site to site. If anyone knows the true answer please help this new shoe addict out before I spend $$ on shoes that will feel like wooden clogs.

bobdea Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 might be seconds? if you get them and they are fakes, if you pay with your credit card you can do a charge back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubz Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Bob What is the definition of Seconds? Second runs of the shoe,shoes with imperfections, second hand??? Just dont know what that means. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdyno Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Seconds are usually products that don`t pass final inspection. They may be slightly imperfect, have mismatched colours, they don`t hang properly ( I had a pair of jeans that was always twisting at the waist, it was misaligned when sewn) stuff like that. Usually they are mechanically fine, just not perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carvedog Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Check resellerratings.com for the online stores you are looking at. Usually if too good to be true they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
