Shoes(and helmets) are a tough one. All models, All sizes and multiples of the most popular sizes, plus maybe more than one brand.....makes for BIG $ in inventory. And then it all goes poof when the 'new models' come out and the LBS is faced with deep discounts(and losing $ on each pair).
BIG MO places, like CC, can warehouse a ton of shoes. $30
MILLION is sales for 2022..helps.
