My kids brought me here after observing the condition of my beloved Magnum Vipers (... not THOSE kind of Magnums! They're Police shoes... http://www.yelp.com/biz/magnum-viper-low-boot-modesto#hrid:97tXtdP2cGbj0NsVfNRCSQ ). They were still in OK condition. But to satisfy my kids' demands and to alleviate their embarrassment... I'll check it out at Big 5 to really see if they sell Magnum's.
When we arrived... I was really surprised to find out that they DO sell Magnum's... just the high-tops, though. The sales price for the Magnum Vipers High Tops were around $59, best price on the Internet would be $79.
BUT, and I really emphasize BUT, the width of the Magnum's on sale were "EE". In fact, all the shoes I was interested in were "EE". How odd is that? Models of every shoe I was interested in, only a "EE" width available... Is that a coincidence, or what?
Now, I get it... Big 5 sells things, probably from other store's overstock, that are a really odd size. Good price, only if you're a "EE"... Didn't buy a thing...
To make sure this was not an anomaly, we went to another Big 5 ( http://www.yelp.com/biz/big-5-sporting-goods-las-vegas ) a few days later... same story.
