Spending three days at the Outdoor Retailer Show, it’s sure easy to get caught up in the moment!  In fact a buyer could go crazy buying all this fun stuff!  All the latest gear from virtually every top outdoor supplier tempts you at every turn!  Hiking shoes, running shoes, casual shoes, boots, and clogs are all represented.  Dansko, Keen, Merrell, New Balance, and most all our best vendors are there to show us product for Fall 2012.  Even brands like Naot, Wolky, Josef Seibel, and Romika with styles you wouldn’t think of as “Outdoor” come to find new distributors for their shoes.  Layer in all the ski and snowboard companies, snowshoe, climbing and backpacking gear, plus high end outdoor apparel makers and I’m like a kid in a candy store!  I keep warning, “One of these days I going to come home and start trying to sell skis or something!”  On second thought, maybe I should just stick to the comfort shoes, boots, and sandals along with our mix of running shoes, hiking shoes and everything else that goes on a foot.  That’s what we’re best at.

The Outdoor Retailer Show, held twice yearly in Salt Lake City, brings suppliers and retailers of all types of gear together under one roof.  This makes planning and buying for our stores a much easier task by allowing us to view offerings from most all suppliers over the span of a few days vs. weeks of sales reps bringing their fare to us.  It also allows a buyer to compare shoes and gear from multiple suppliers and make better decisions about what to carry without over-duplicating categories….at least that is the theory. 

Now I’m starting the job of putting pen to paper ( or type to spreadsheet) and putting together the buy for Fall 2012!  If anyone has any requests or directions you would like to see us move toward, please let me know!

Cheers!

Fitness and new running shoes go hand and hand with many New Year’s resolutions.  January brings in many new releases of running shoes in categories from motion control and stability shoes to neutral cushioning, minimalist, and barefoot running shoes.  These newly released athletic shoes offer all the latest and greatest technology from brands like Brooks, New Balance, Saucony, and Mizuno.  January also gives you the chance to find your favorite running shoes on sale as we discontinue some older versions to make room for the new releases.  I’ve personally had running shoes that I wished I had stocked up on before they went away because they worked so well for my gait.  If you’ve ever had that “special” running shoe by New Balance, Mizuno, Brooks, Saucony, or any other brand that made you run like the wind, it just might be on sale now as the new version is on the horizon.  Then again, it’s pretty cool to show up to a group run in a brand new 2012 running shoe with all the new bells and whistles.

Right now we have a many running shoes on our sale page that are being discontinued.  As their new replacements come in, we will get them loaded onto our site as well.  It may be winter now and may be cold, dark, or wet in the morning but look on the bright side; the days are already getting longer.  We get a lot of rain here in the Pacific Northwest and when I try to pull the rain card out of my deep pocket of excuses; my training partners remind that I carry Gore-tex running shoes and other waterproof trail running shoes.

Remember this your next rainy day you’re thinking about a run.  The hardest part is always just getting started.  Once you get a little wet, you usually end up not minding.  Plus, the sense of overcoming the elements after your done is always a boost to your sole!  That and a hot shower never feels as good as after a wet run!

Cheers!
