What stores in Santiago (preferred) or Santo Domingo sell quality men's and women's running shoes (like New Balance, Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Brooks)? Don't want knock offs & realize we will pay more for the real thing. Any suggestions are most appreciated!

Better off having someone bring you a pair or order off Amazon.

Normally I would agree 100%, but I really need to try them on to make sure they fit right - and returning things is a PITA and ultimately could end up costing more than just buying here to start. There has to be someplace that sells athletic shoes on the island - especially in Santiago or Santo Domingo??

In Santiago, go to the Top floor in Colinas Mall, across from the movie theater...theres a big store there with tonnes of Original Nikes..theres another good store on the same level close to the food court..both have a very nice selection of good runners ( jordans, all nike etc..).

There is a place in Puerto Plata - down the street (Camino Real) from the Caribe bus station - called Nenos. Went there today and they had tons of trainers - mostly hightops - but only one runner for women (hot pink) and a couple styles for men - I think both were Nike, which would be last choice for us. But maybe that will help you, S1mpleton?

sadly it is too late. my friend who needed them at the time had an emergency and had to travel back for a while. i am assuming he will return with new kix. i should be good with my boots till i leave.
no one has met me but if you see some guy with boots near the beach in Caberete, it is probably me. lol.
