I loved the shoe so much that I went back in a year to get a replacement (DC is really hard on shoes) and only wanted that shoe and they told me they stopped carrying it and they wouldn't order it. I ordered it off Eastbay and saved $20.
For what its worth, I need new running shoes, and will likely end up going to Road Runner Sports as Bill suggested to get fitted for a new shoe.

For what it's worth, Jake, I've been to just about every running shoe store in NJ north of 195. The Princeton Running Co, the New Balance in Hasbrouck Heights (excellent service for NB shoes), the Sneaker Factory in Millburn, and countless other regular stores trying to get the perfect shoe for someone with an uncommon foot size and gait. If you have a common size, width, and gait (and you don't pronate/supenate too much) you can have success everywhere. The thing about RR sports is that they can nail your needs exactly since they quantify it electronically. That is invaluable if you have different needs in a shoe. They are a bit more expensive than most, and their custom insoles are very expensive (something like $90?) but if you've got the bucks saved or you are a high miler I think it's 100% worth it.
