What we look for in a cheap running shoe
A low price. We use the cheapest price from a shop that delivers to you, sales included.
The specs you'd want anyway. Foam, drop and width matter more than the price tag.
Last year's versions. The previous version of a shoe is often the lowest price for the same idea.
