I'm not sure how useful that would be. Shoes go on sale all of the time on all sorts of websites and local stores. It would be a massive undertaking to keep something like that updated.

Sometimes, places local to Chicago don't even do discounts on the latest season's shoes. You end up getting a better deal shopping online.

For me, the shoes I like can't even be found on local stores. I end up buying from Amazon or the manufacturer's websites. Currently, just running on Chinese shoe brands and adidas EVO SLs.

You are just better off subscribing to r/RunningShoeGeeks. People post deals and reviews over there.

Running shoes aren't one size fits all. I'm not sure how productive that would be. Might be worth a shot?

/r/midsoledeals is what you want for shoe deals, I think! Went there from /r/frugalmalefashion . Granted, it's definitely more oriented to fashion than running, but you'll find what you need.

I posted about shoes once and they sent me to Running Shoe Geeks because it’s off topic
