Spring has sprung and so has everyone’s urge to go to the gym and get ready for the summer.  Every season I always seem to buy a new pair of gym shoes, but I always try to find a pair that is under $100 because I know in a year from now I will want a new pair. When looking for great pair of sneakers and at a fraction of the cost, the first places I go to are Nordstrom and Zappos. I love Nordstrom not only for their customer service, but also because they always have a great assortment when it comes to athletic shoes. Now Zappos, I love for many reasons, but the main one is the shipping. They always get you your merchandise within a day or two of ordering it even when you select ground shipping. I have only had one issue with them in the past where I received a pair of shoes in the wrong size. When  I said I would send them back they told me to keep the shoes and they would send me the correct pair, which I received the next day.  If you live in a city where you have a Nordstrom rack, go in right now and stock up on athletic sneakers. I have noticed that around this time every year they always stock up on the latest Nike and New Balance running shoes and they are normally under $60! I will be the first to admit  that I want my  athletic shoes to look great and be fashionable, but remember it’s also important for  them to be comfortable. I have gone through so many different styles of athletic shoes because even though they may have looked cute on me they weren’t the comfiest shoes to work out in. Check out the links below to see  some of my favorite athletic shoes that I am lusting over this season and shop them on my favorite sites ☺. Happy shopping!
