Try and talk to the owner/manager of the Fleet Feet. We have a store near us and buy all our running shoes there. We had one of the employees tell us that you couldn't return shoes without the box and receipt. The owner said there was no such policy. Lynne got a pair of shoes that caused to legs to hurt every time she ran in them. I talked to Ed (the owner) and he said to bring them back even though the had been owned for more than a month and were slightly dirty. Ed's thinking a happy customer is a repeat customer and that they are the ones that fitted you to the shoe. You can't tell how a shoe will perform just by walking around the store. You have to wear them in real training situations.
Hope this helps and you get some satisfaction from the store.
