Do you do this? Re: running shoes

[jchokie79]

I've been wearing Brooks Ravenna 3, then 4 and most recently the 5.  Don't think the 5 is working out so I'm considering going back to the 4.  It's even better now b/c they're on sale since the 5 was released.  

Out of the three colors for the 4, I still really like the pair I've had previously.  But I feel like if I'm buying a new pair of running shoes, I kind of want a different color.  KWIM?  

So just curious, do you or would you buy the exact same color of shoes or try a different color?

This is what I've had and considering repurchasing.




This is the other color that I would consider.

I'm a bad influence... I would just buy both

I always like new colors. But if it's "my" shoe, I'll take it in whatever color I can get.

So I just found a coupon code in addition to the sale price and if I bought both, I would only be paying $20 more than the 5.  Hmmm...

ITS A SIGN!!!!!! I really would buy both though, I hate when they discontinue my favorite shoes and I don't like the replacements. By the time you're ready for another pair again, there will be none to be found.

Yeah if they're discontinued, I would totally buy both. Especially with the coupon code!

And to answer the question, ditto taratru.

[clseale]

I would snatch up every pair of my beloved discontinued shoe as I could, regardless of color, especially with that deal. One of each. Do it!!!!

[jchokie79]

You guys made a very valid point, I didn't think about stocking up. Both pairs have been ordered!!! Thank you and yay!!!

[spunkypenguin]

I have large and wide feet, so I'm pretty limited in colors...I usually just get the all black ones...I now have three pairs of all black shoes. I'm also a shoe hoarder. When I find a good deal on a discontinued shoe, I stock up!

[hannahb]

Yeah I would buy both. If course if I could I would buy all the running shoes.

[skwcm80]

Since they're on sale I would by both, that's just being economical.

[atlas]

Good idea to go with both! I really like each of the color combos.

[agswife]

I wear these. Now I'm like, I should get both colors and stock up. Ugh. Great for my budget. Thanks SO much for posting.

I like both of those!

I buy different colors of the same shoe, even if I like one color less, because I track miles on shoes and identify them by color.  It helps me keep them straight.

[brooke77]

I'm a wide so I usually only have one color choice =(

[sadlebred]

I'd buy both, but I like both colors!
