Alright, so I wanted to find some new workout shoes and decided to check out Academy Sports. I’ve heard they have a decent selection of New Balance, which is a brand I like, so I figured I’d give it a shot.
First off, I looked at the Academy Sports website to see what they had. Browsing through their selection of women’s shoes, I found quite a few New Balance options. They had different styles, colors, and price ranges, which was good to see.
After browsing online for a bit, I decided to head over to the physical Academy Sports store near me. I just wanted to see the shoes in person and try them on before making a decision. I mean, fit is super important, right?
Once I got to the store, I went straight to the shoe section. They had a whole wall dedicated to New Balance, which made it easy to find what I was looking for. I grabbed a few pairs in my size and started trying them on.
Try-on Time
- First pair: A classic-looking New Balance running shoe. Felt pretty comfortable, good support, but nothing too special.
- Second pair: A more stylish, modern design. These were lighter, which I liked, but they didn’t feel as supportive as the first pair.
- Third pair: A cross-training shoe. This one felt like a good middle ground – decent support, not too heavy, and looked pretty good too.
After trying on a few more pairs, I narrowed it down to the cross-training shoes and another running shoe that caught my eye. Both felt great, but they were different styles, so it was a tough choice.
I walked around the store in each pair for a while, trying to get a feel for how they would be during a workout. I did some lunges, squats, and even jogged in place a little – you know, the usual shoe-testing routine.
Making the Choice
Finally, I decided to go with the cross-training shoes. They just felt a bit more versatile, and I liked the way they looked. Plus, they were on sale, which was a nice bonus.
I paid for the shoes and left the store feeling pretty good about my purchase. I wore them for a workout the next day, and they were super comfortable. Good support, no blisters, and my feet didn’t feel tired afterward.
So yeah, that’s my little story about getting new shoes at Academy Sports. It was a pretty standard shopping experience, but I’m happy with the shoes I ended up with. If you’re looking for some new kicks, especially New Balance, I’d say it’s worth checking out Academy Sports. They have a solid selection, and you might even find a good deal.
