Cant realy give you specific shoe stores.. instead.. I'll give you tips..

What kind of shoes are better for training? And for racing? For everyone at our clinics we recommend light weight shoes with thin soles. There is a certain philosophy behind this recommendation, which consists of several concepts:

1. The shoes should be light, so that their weight didn't deteriorate the feeling of the foot as a part of the leg. It means that the feeling of the foot wouldn't differ from the feeling of the whole leg, psychologically. Biomechanically it may affect the foot transfer in space and time: its speed, acceleration, and trajectory, which could all be deteriorated by heavy shoes. We can deliberately use heavy shoes for some special occasions of strength development, but not for a long time, and surely not permanently.

2. The shoes should have thin soles, with no cushioning at all. It reduces the weight, but this is not the main reason. First of all, it allows you to develop a very precise, refined feeling of interaction between the foot and the ground, while landing. Obviously, it is impossible to do this through a thick shoe sole. In a movement, when every hundredth of a second counts (the time of support in best runners is 0.15-0.20 sec.), the support time is a crucial thing for neuro-muscular coordination. When the signal for the foot to touch the ground reaches the muscles and makes them prepare for landing, it's already too late. And cushioning here is the factor which deteriorates timing and as a consequence, running technique, by increasing the time of support and due to this, loading of joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.

Second, a thick sole and cushioning increase the possibility of pronation or supination, if the runner has a tendency to it. Hence, it leads to injuries, and we'll talk about this separately.

Third, in Pose Method landing occurs on the ball of the foot, not on the heel, so the thick shoe heel structure doesn't make any sense. Even more, it reduces the freedom of the heel, and ankle movement and decreases the calf muscle stretching elasticity effect.

Ebay... but please be careful because then tend to run really small. I would get the shoe at least a size bigger if not more... i wear a size 7 1/2 and i got an 8 thinking i'd be fine... the beautiful shoes i got were a size maybe 6 1/2. But you can always send them back.. but you can get shoes for like $1 or something crazy and just pay for shipping and handling

I would definitely recommend Anchor Blue. They always have adorable shoes on sale, although the store would be btter then online. They have flip flops, flats, and some heels, on sale cheap. I got the cutest flats for 99 cents.

I'll have to agree with Hard Rocker. E-Bay has unusual shoes and some are quiet affordable but watch out for the shipping fee!
