So, I&#8217;m happy to pass on the news that starting today (July 29) through August 29, you can get a pair of shoes for half off when you purchase another pair at full price. This offer is only good in participating stores, so check with <strong><a href="http://www.striderite.com/text/store/locator_participating.jsp" target="_blank">your local store</a></strong> to see if they&#8217;re offering the same deal.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t get the deal at a store near you, try heading online to save 20% on your purchase of $50 or more with code <strong>SCHOOL2010.</strong></p>
