I live in a rural area with the closest running specialty store being 55 minutes away. Getting quality running gear can feel like an extra errand added to an already packed schedule.

I’ve been wearing the same size Brooks Running Shoes for years. I felt confident enough to order running shoes online.

I bought Brooks Cadence 6 for $79.95 and free shipping through Zappos. Zappos also offers faster shipping for a fee. I used the free shipping option and my shoes arrived 1 day earlier than promised.

Overall, Zappos was easy and convenient to use, prices are average and shipping was fast.
