    Find a Good Place to Buy Sneakers

  1. If you want the best selection and the most knowledgeable staff, go to a store that specializes in sneakers and other athletic gear. If you want the lowest prices, go to one of those big "warehouse-style" shoe places that have high turnover and lots of bargains. Shoe stores will often advertise their specials in the newspaper or elsewhere, so you can see where the styles and brands you want are available for the best prices.

    Another, sneakier option is to try on shoes in a shoe store, then buy them online. You can do this by going to a shoe store to find the brand, style and size of shoe that you want. Then look online to see if you can get a better deal. Remember to write down the model number before you leave the store so you can be sure you get the exact same shoe you tried on.

    A final option is to throw caution to the wind and simply buy shoes online without trying them on. This is risky, but it might work out for you if you're simply replacing a worn-out pair of shoes with the exact same kind--or if you find that size 9-1/2 shoes from a certain manufacturer always fit you.
