For Asics (and I assume for Nike as well) the company line is that
their high-tech shoes require the personal services of a knowledgable
salesperson to make sure you get the exact right shoe for you.
There is little doubt that the real reason is the higher wholesale
prices charged to retails outlets compared to the mail-order companies, who
order shoes in quantities of tens of thousands.
