As for the sizing and not buying in the store, I did buy, just not for me. Oldest son needed a lot of cross country gear. I figured I shelled out enough to warrent trying a pair of shoes on.
I have Asics GT-2110s now, was on GT-2100s also before that. I tried on a shipload of shoes last time I went in and the arches all felt weird, but I was "used to" the GT-2100s as it was, so of course the most comfortable thing was the GT-2110s. I think I tried on a pair or two of Brooks, womens and mens, but it's all a vague memory by now (you know, those flashbacks with the frosty colored lenses, that's about what it is). I have to wear mens shoes at this point, not many womens running shoes in an EE width! Unfortunately, that means the heels all feel loose and I have a tendency to lace them too tight to compensate. The curse of the Fred Flintstone feet.

I would just buy a pair of GT-2110s online, but I always get a little bit of "grass is greener" affect with shoes. Maybe if I go try different ones on, maybe if I try the more expensive models, maybe maybe maybe... my poor husband or dad who shop with me must think I'm nuts.
