Canadian pricing on running shoes are a ripoff.
For example I want a pair of Mizuno Alchemy 7 mens running shoes. You go to Running Room online a Canadian running store the price is $149.99 and you go to Roadrunner Sports online a US running store and their regular full pop price is $102.99.
How is this fair.
Not to mention when you buy the shoes in Canada they would end up costing you $169.48 if you bought them in Canada. Even in a high taxed state the same shoes with an 8% sales tax only cost $111.23.
The dollar is close to par right now and lets be over conservative and put in a 20% premium on currency. Their price is $133.48. That's a $36 freakin difference on the exact same pair of running shoes !
Its actually a bigger difference when you look at todays current dollar value.
