I want to buy some new running sneakers. I read today that running shoes need to be replaced every 300 to 400 miles; I’ve definitely run over 500 miles in my current shoes. I’ve been thinking about getting some New Balance Minimus shoes, but I hate stepping into most athletic shoe stores. They tend to be very male-oriented; even when they have a wall with women’s shoes on them, all the employees tend to be male and there’s a lot of testosterone in the air. I prefer shopping at a shoe store that’s all women’s shoes, which is why I like Lady Footlocker. Lady Foot Locker makes shoe shopping a little easier because they only carry women’s shoes. They don’t have a Lady Foot Locker around me though, so I have to shop from them online at Ladyfootlocker.com.
But I don’t really mind shopping for shoes online because I don’t have to deal with a salesperson. I find it easier and more relaxing just to look through the catalog on their website. Their site is really easy to navigate, I just pick a sneaker brand, a size, a width, and my price range and it shows me all the options available. I’ve never had someone in the store be that helpful!
Another benefit of shopping Ladyfootlocker.com online is that most orders have free shipping and there are Lady Footlocker coupons out there that can only be redeemed in their online store. I found this Lady Foot Locker coupon code on the web, and it’s going to save me $10 on my shoes:
I’m going to use the coupon to buy these New Balance Minimus trail running shoes. My trainer has been telling me about minimal running shoes, they help recreate the experience of running barefoot while giving your foot protection from hazards on the street. I guess I need to ease into them, because I am so used to running in supportive shoes. My trainer recommended wearing them for just a few minutes a day at first, and then working my way up to wearing them all the time. I can’t wait until I am wearing the minimalist shoes full time!
