In walking shoes, top-of-the-line Wilsons that originally retailed for $80 can be purchased at Sneaker Warehouse for $29.99. Etonic Pro Support walking shoes were $39.99 ($85 retail).

Sneaker Warehouse has been selling a fine selection of athletic shoes at discounted prices since 1993. Much of the inventory consists of closeouts, including a variety of Avia shoes priced at $29.99 ($60 to $90 retail), Vans Johnson or KNU KNU Karen National Union (Burma)

When manufacturers change their lines, shoes arrive from two Top to Top stores that specialize in current, name-brand athletic shoes at prices discounted 20 percent to 40 percent off retail. For example, Top to Top has the latest Asics Gel Kayano shoes for $89 instead of $130 retail, and Air Max runs $95.99 rather than $140 retail.

In addition to closeouts, like three pair of white cotton socks for $3.99 instead of $10 retail, Sneaker Warehouse also carries some current lines.
