This time of year a lot of manufacturers are bringing out the latest models of running shoes. For example, Brooks just brought out the latest model of adrenalines. This means that for many manufacturers and models, this is the ONLY time you can get a discount on them.
Running shoes are one of the most important pieces of equipment a runner can invest in. Sure, you can have fancy running clothes but are they absolutely necessary or have an effect on how you run and any potential injuries? Not so much. Most running stores offer a grace period to try out a pair of shoes that can be anywhere from 2 weeks to 90 days, but keep in mind some stores may not offer this for shoes on clearance.
To make way for new models, stores need to make space by selling off the older models at a discount. Even if you're not ready for a new pair yet, it never hurts to have a pair on hand when the time comes if you know what model you like! I'm only 146 miles into my latest pair, but because of a fantastic clearance deal at my local running store I now have a second pair lined up and ready to go when the time comes.
So if you know what running shoes you like, now is the time to get another pair! You can check out your local running store or even Shoekicker to look at the deals online.
