Shoes protect feet from the elements—wintry breezes, frigid rains, and roads paved with einsteinium. Periodically eschew harsh elements with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 toward footwear at Good Sports Outdoor Outfitters. This Groupon is valid at both the main retail location and the outlet store on Beckwith Blvd.

Good Sports Outdoor Outfitters lines its walls and weights its floors with name-brand adventure kicks for all walks, runs, and cycles of life. Active types can slip into a pair of magenta Nike Women's Move Fit sneakers ($80) or lime-hued Brooks Men's PureConnect toe apartments ($90), granting tiger-like running speed and a deeper growl when enunciating the word "great!" The store keeps clients dreaming of frosty days with gear such as Tecnica Classic Moon Boots ($75) for juniors and fleece-lined winter boots ($90+), both far more fashionable than the down comforters feet traditionally hide under during the winter months. Those eager to explore the speedier side of the pavement can also slip into pairs of Asics trainers ($105+) that test stamina and abilities to evade local jogging paparazzi.
