All, If you are in the Oregon SW Washington area and you like the Piloti shoes you have to go to the habitat for humanity warehouse 66 SE Morrison in the warehouse dist. They have all of the new styles and a lot of good variety. Piloti donated a ton of shoes to habitat for humanity and they are selling them for $25 per pair!!! They have all sizes and the shoes are brand new in the box!!! I think the dollars are tax dedutiable. They are only open for the sale on Saturdays from 10a - 4p. I just got back and I picked up 5 pairs for $125!!! These shoes actaully sale for $125-$150 pair. just thought I would pass it along. Sonny.....
No worries... I didn't see any half sizes, but I wasn't looking for any. They do have a ton of sizes though!!!
Not tax deductable. Typically, with a donation to a charitable organization, you must deduct the fair market value of anything you received in exchange for your donation. (Of course, this is from a doc, so take it with a grain of salt.) So it ends up being just a damn good deal.
I just got back - got myself a nice pair of tan stradales. They do have half-sizes, and they have about 5,000 pairs left, so they won't be running out any time soon.
Wow! What a great deal! I just got a couple of new pairs recently myself after wearing out my old pair. I wear them pretty much every day since they're the most comfortable every-day shoes I've ever owned and LAST a long time!
Any chance I can get a member in the area to pick up a pair or two for me? Be happy to compensate for some of your time too.
I would have loved to, but I just missed your post. I can go back next weekend and you get you a pair however?
Wow, that's an awesome deal. Can someone pick up a lowtop (I already own a hightop version) for me, size 11. I could get them from you if you are coming to Sunriver, or pick them up on the way in/out of town?
That would be great, low tops are the way for me. Let me know when and where to send the money. Thanks.
They are open during the week but I was told the shoe sale was only on Saturdays, which doesn't make any sense but hey.. Someone go during the week and check it out!!! Get on it big dawg!!!
I will be in the area tomorrow so I will check it out. Michael, any preference on color or anything? Or just any lowtops?
I got a brand new pair at Griot's Garage sale last year for $15.00 !!!! Their sale is coming up again on Saturday Sept. 22nd. 8:30AM - 2:00PM Griot's Garage 3500-A 20th St E Tacoma, WA 98424 http://www.griotsgarage.com/index.jsp?subPage=27#tacoma
Confirmed, you can only get the shoes Saturdays from 9 to 4. I just got back from there. Yes they are open from Tuesday through Saturday 9-5 but the shoes are in the basement. I didn't find that out till after I walked around the whole store and tracked down someone to ask where they were. The reason why you can only get the shoes on Saturday is because it is a volunteer operation so they only have staff to man the basement on Saturday. I'm assuming alot of you are going to the Sunriver Exotic Car Show this weekend so I'll probally see many of you next Saturday at the store getting new shoes
Well I just went today and asked where the shoe were, he showed me the door to the basement and I rumaged around down there by myself and picked a few pairs out. I guess the volunteer I asked didn't realize we weren't supposed to be allowed down there except on Saturday. Guess I lucked out! Oh and if anyone is planning on going there is a lot of construction and the roads are quite rough, if you have the option don't take a low car, it was definately a hassle getting in and out of there.. of course my car is rediculously low... Thanks for the tip Sonny!
Thanks for the info Wilson. Looks like I may be making a trip down on Saturday unless I can get someone to pick up a couple pairs for me. Hope the weather's good for a drive.
