Who Wants a Free Pair of Shoes?

That’s right! OnlineShoes.com is “using me” to give away a $75.00 Gift Certificate to their website.

OK, buying shoes online can be tough, right? But when I used OnlineShoes.com, it’s nice because they have through customer reviews about each shoe. In the reviews, the reviewer can remark about the shoes size, width, arch type, and leave of general comments. So when I was looking at a pair of Saucony racing flats, I checked out their Saucony Running Shoes page. (And here’s the link to their running shoes page.)

I found these:

Saucony Grid Sinisters!

The customer reviews told me that this shoe would be OK for longer races (like 5Ks, 10Ks, and half marathons), and that it was pretty true to size (some racing flats run small, so I wouldn’t have known what size to order if they didn’t have this feature!). The nice thing is that OnlineShoes.com actually ships a return label with the shoes incase the size isn’t quite right. You can ship them back and request a different size.

Oh, and did I say “Free Shipping?” And “90 day return policy?” Well, I should have. Those are good selling points.

Anyway, that’s enough of an advertisement - on to the giveaway. I’m running this giveaway much like Chic Runner when she was asked to do the same thing - she gave me some good advice, and you may recognize this giveaway format from her blog. Thanks Chic Runner!!

To be entered in the drawing, you just need to leave a comment on this post. I know that’s not easy, but you gotta work for these shoes! ;)

Want your name in the hat twice? If you’re a blogger, become a follower of my blog to earn a second entry. Just click the “follow” button in the upper right of my blog, and let me know that you’re a follower in your comment that you leave. (You can also "add" my blog through your Blogger Dashboard.)

Want your name in the hat a third time? Then post a link on your blog to my blog telling your readers about this contest and giving OnlineShoes.com a little more advertising, and you can earn another entry. And again, let me know in your comment that you did that.

So, someone’s comment might say “Hey Steve, this John Smith from Topeka. I posted about this on my blog (but I didn’t ‘follow’ you), so put my name in the hat twice! Thanks!”

Pseudo-legal stuff:
- Contest only open to US residents. Sorry, but they’re only shipping domestically. Sucks to live in Toronto right now.
- You may comment now (on THIS post) through midnight Central time on Saturday, June 20th. The winner will be contacted on Monday of next week.
- The winner will be chosen at random by a random number generator. If you’ve earned multiple entries, you will get multiple numbers, thus bettering your chances at winning!
- OnlineShoes.com is promoting their Saucony Running Shoes right now, but you’ll be able to use your $75 on ANYTHING from their site! How sweet is that!!

Good luck everyone!!

I’ll be back tomorrow with my Olympic Distance Triathlon PR race report! Thanks all!
