Definitely not the smartest thing to do since shortly I will not have a paycheck for about a month but I will deal with that later. I had really wanted some new tennis shoes/gym shoes and I had heard that there was a Nike Factory store in a suburb about 30 minutes from here. So I took a ride on my day off yesterday and ... the store is huge and has some really awesome deals. I got these two pairs for $85.00. The black pair (Flex Training 6?) Was $45 and the blue ones were $40. If I had more.money I would have checked out the other shops in this outlet mall. All kinds of "factory" and outlet stores. I am still not really sure how the items end up there but usually you can get the at a pretty good price. Do you have an outlet mall near you? Have you gotten any good deals lately?

Thanks! So far Nike has been the most withstanding/durable/comfortable brand I have found.

The closest we have to an outlet anything is Ollies and Big Lot, they are about an hour away. The only outlet mall I know about is about an hour or so away. Nice shoes! I got a cheap pair and my feet pay for it at times.

There's an outlet mall about an hour from here. I've only been there once. I've always wanted to go back though, but never had the time or opportunity.

I have never been to a factory outlet store unfortunately. I have heard you can get amazing deals at them though. Seems like a pretty good deal you got on the sneakers. I like both pair.

There are some outlets within a hours drive or so but I don't shop at them. I'm not a big fan of shopping. That is great that you found what you needed and got a good deal on them.
@maezee (41997)

Nice. I agree, am not much of a shopper normally. I couldnt find those deals online though. I did go to this outlet at 1030am on a wednesday so it felt like I was the only one there. It was nice!

@maezee I would probably like a shopping trip like that, when I would feel like the only one there. I avoid crowds as much as possible.

Ah jeez. I think Nikes are pretty durable but I am hearing New Balance and Champions are good as well.

I love the black and white pair - I can see why it is the more expensive of the two.

I have bought some items in outlet store before and I think the quality is not as good as the items sold in the mall.The style may be the same but the materials used may have a lesser quality.I still buy some things in outlet stores once in a while for products that you're not expecting to use for a long time.

Aha. I knew there had to be a catch. I wonder if the same is true for our outlet malls.
