Bargain of the Year!

A pair of Go Lite Versa Force trail shoes, RRP $130 my price $30. Love or hate them it’s a good deal in my book! Pitched as “A multi-terrain runner built for high mileage runs, the Versa Force offers a dual density midsole for a smoother ride and increased stability off and on the trails.” That’ll work then! Check out the ultra funky soles and tread pattern, there’s a ton of info on their website if you’re interested.

A lot of shoe company's are "retiring" models so there are some real bargains to be had I also saw Inov8 Roclite 305s for $50 (RRP $130) and Asics 2130s and Kayano 14s ($90 and $130) at half price! Unfortunately the economy is not helping either, so support your local running store.

Talking of LRSs who's interested in another weight loss challenge I am struggling to shed those turkey and Christmas pudding pounds still, I am thinking of putting it on Runner+ or Buckeye Outdoors this time though...any takers

Anyway definitely the bargain of the year…but then it is only January 10th!

  1. Nice find :) I got a pair of new balance 645's for $20 a couple weeks ago - they retail for ~$69...I was pretty stoked :)

  4. That's a steal. The miles we put on, anything helps right.

    Last year one of our tri coaches had a garage sale. I went over to pick up a used heart rate monitor and ended up with going home with a barely used pair of Pearl Izumi shoes for $25 - 300 miles and going. Earlier that year I also picked up a pair of Vasque's discontinued AMPs for $30 - using those today for the 25k fun run. just picked up a pair of Nike road runners for $60 during the holiday sales. So far so good.

    I'm trying to raise my overall weekly mileage this year. If I'm successful I'll have to buy more shoes than in previous years.
