Man, you just called me low class...now I feel bad <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />...just kidding <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

Anyway, I do exactly what Aviprk suggested. For example, I was in the market for some new inline skates a while back. I tried some on locally, but could not find any K2s to try out. So I ordered 3 different pairs from Zappos. I kept the pair I liked and mailed the other 2 back. I have done this with boots a couple of times too. The cool thing about doing it that way (with the downside being that you're low class), is you have plenty of time to assess them as Zappos will take them back up to a year after they sent them to you. I have never kept any that long (usually mail the ones I don't want back a couple of weeks later).
