Brand New! In the Box! Paid $80 for a pair, selling for $30!
Buy all 4 pair for $100! What a Bargain!
Why do I have 4 pair of brand new Saucony Triumph 5 (size 12)?
Why did I waste $360 for 4 pairs of shoes I cant wear? To save money! Yes, I am a moron!
When I first started running marathons a few years ago, I wore Saucony Trigon 4 shoes. I went through 3 pair of them, with no problems at all. Not even a single blister.
But then I could no longer get them. I tried a bunch of other shoes that didn't work. Finally, I bought a pair of Saucony Triumph 5, and they were great! Ran 200 miles with no issues at all.
So I thought I would buy a whole bunch so I wouldn't have to worry about the shoes being discontinued. They were selling for like $120 at the shoe store at the time, so I bought 5 pair online for $80 a pair, which was like $440 with shipping. "Look how smart I am! Look how much money I am saving!"
As soon as I hit the "confirm" button to charge my credit card I started to get a weird ache in my big toe. Months later this turned into a crippling shooting pain in both feet. Turns out the Triumph 5 were too narrow for me.
So now you can benefit from my stupidity! If you're size 12 and need running shoes, let me know!
You followed my exact summer running route (while I was there interning) - I lived just across from Iwo Jima in Rosslyn, and frequently did the Monument/Mall run - great location, lots of people, bridges to cross - and, in my opinion, probably the largest group of serious city runners that I've ever encountered. (P. Pegnato, friend of Shannon - congrats btw!)
