I bought a pair in the cheapo shoe shop in Whitfords at the weekend for $29.00, I've been running in them a few times and they're great. They also have Slazengers in there for $39.00.

God,if Perth is anything like Brissy training shoes are so ridiculously priced :scared:
Have you seen the price of Puma's? $245+!!!!
Slazenger seems to be very reasonably priced$30+,Rebok$50+,Addidas too$70+ but Nike very rarely seen
Seen some Skechers the other day$50 (good for the girls) & they were ok priced too.

Or even RUNNERS as they are called here! Go to A Mart Sports they often do sales where they are from $50.00 for most top brands. We stock up when their sale is on!

You steal used ones from doorsteps, on beaches, in changing rooms, my kids can testify to this, any shoe of any value is always stolen.
