No stores anywhere near me carry any of these very highly rated shoes I want to try in store.
Superblast
Latest Kayano
Tracksmith’s shoe (I know they don’t really do stores)
Latest Vomero (new but no one locally carries older ones either).
Real problems here in mid size city USA.
Shoe companies don't like brick and mortar stores. They want everyone to buy from them directly for maximum profit.
dicks sporting goods has the kayano 30.
This is why Al Gore invented the internet.
I get all my shoes from Amazon. If I want to try something new I might buy it in several different sizes and just return the ones I don't want to keep. I return them at the local Whole Foods and have my refund within minutes. Amazon has never failed me. I generally stick with the previous version of the one that just comes out - and get them for 1/2 price.

That's a problem? Really?
Clerk: May I help you?
Me: Do you have these in size 17?
Clerk: Let me check and see?
Me: (thinking to myself I already know the answer) Ok, thank you.
Clerk: (returns 3-4 minutes later) Sorry sir, we only have them up to size 14.
Moral of the story. I have to order online and then hope they fit.
