Runningwarehouse.com they always gave 10-15% discount codes and free shipping. If you Google running warehouse.com it will pull it up.

Roadrunnersports.com

I have been a customer for years and find their VIP program is well worth the small fee.

Your LRS helps sponsor all the races we do; show them some love and buy your shoes there.

I usually just hit whoever offers the ones I'm looking for the cheapest. I've bought from the manufacture, runningwarehouse, holabird, and a few others. Always works out the same - i get the shoes, they get the money. The one time I had to return something,  I got my money back. I don't think there is much of a differentiation between them all.

Ditto on Running Warehouse.  You can find discount codes online.  Better prices than RoadRunner even with the VIP program.

If it's made for my wide feet, Paragon Sports has it.

I shopped in the store when I lived in New York, but now have to make do with the online store, which is pretty good, too.

I have been of this sentiment.  When I find a pair of shoes I like I could just reorder online and save a few dollars but I find that it is worth it to me to have a good local running shoe store to go and try shoes on so I support them.  I've been going to the same place now for a while and they will show me the latest catalogs of upcoming models, colors, next version etc.

Running warehouse.  Free two day shipping and free two day return shipping.  I can buy two pairs (if undecided on size) and send the one I don't want back no charge.  Its great.

I have been ordering my shoes directly from Brooks lately, the model I like has been "upgraded" and now it doesn't fit me worth a crap, they narrowed the toe box and widened the heel.  My local shop doesn't carry the old model anymore so I ordered 3 pairs directly at a great discount, $78 vs $120.  

Otherwise I am a local shop guy myself, the one I go to in particular gives you $50 off a pair once you have spent $500, which really doesn't take that long.

I'm very lucky, our tri club is sponsored by our LRS and they are two blocks from my house. Yesterday they hosted us for a group run, breakfast, and club sale. 20% off shoes and clothes, and a bunch of accessories at 40% off. They sold a lot of shoes! Normal discount is 10%. Even if they weren't giving us a discount I would support them for all the races and charity events they sponsor.

Amen.  Not the best deal dollar-wise but I love supporting our LRS.  They sponsor over 50% of the races I participate in every year and they treat me and my son like kings when we go in there.

Another road runner fan here and in defense of those of us who order online SOME PEOPLE don't have a LRS and foot locker doesn't carry newtons.  For a long time I did not  have a LRS.  I do now and I do patronize the store but for some its online or no shoes

The last two times I've bought, I've gone through Amazon.com.

Next time may well be runningwarehouse.... it'll just depend upon pricing for the shoes I like.  

They're discontinued, however, so my next pair may be totally new from the LRS.

I buy nearly everything on-line.  But not running shoes. 

I need to try on every shoe on the wall first.  Whatever pittance my local shop makes, it's probably not worth the time they spend with me.  But, they're a great bunch.

I use both my LRS and runningwarehouse.com.  If I try shoes on at the LRS I will buy them there.  I also buy shoes at the LRS most of the time, however if there is a $20-30 difference in price I will buy online.  The price difference is usually the largest when new models come out, discontinued shoes/last years models are often 50% less online.

Running Warehouse offers free second day shipping on all orders.
