$19? Where

Burlington coat factory. Only pair I saw this time but others have found nike golf shoes there recently

Lol. Everyone* knows it's no longer a coat factory. It's just Burlington.

* I live in a house full of hens and was corrected very recently

Lol so funny! You aren't kidding either.

I've gotten it too but it's a hard habit to break.

Burlington. That's it. The new remodel at grapevine looks great tho

My favorite thread of this new early golf year.

I can't even get excited about it yet with my local course currently serving as a cross country ski course

from my experience, cheap golf shoes don't last very long.

Normally I agree, but the Nike's I got last year have been solid

checked two BCFs in San Antonio today - nada.

Same for the one in Pearland.

Semi related but this always makes me wonder what Burlington/Ross etc. pay for items like this. Obviously it's a successful business model for products with a more generalized demographic (button downs, polos, tees, shorts, pants, etc.) but Golf products are obviously a more niche subset of their customer base.

I believe the MSRP on these was ~$175. Working off the assumption of 50% retail margins, this means Dicks etc. likely paid Nike ~$87.50 wholesale, which means Nike was at ~$44.
I'm sure the liquidation stores just buy a bulk lot of merchandise and pay a lump sum but if they are selling at $20, then I have to think they paid the original retailer a unit price of roughly $10 for these. Which is a loss of ~$75. Ouch


TL;DR Original retailer taking big loss on these.
Obviously Something > Nothing

Think of it as getting something over getting nothing.

If Nike keeps them they get buried behind the new styles they're releasing and pushing and they never get sold. At east selling them to outlets gets them something. They don't want to put time and effort into pushing the old item or style when they could efforting the new item.

Also a lot of items at Burlington/Ross/Marshals are defective. Like they may be labeled size 10 but they're really size 11. I see it with golf shirts all the time.

***That's why a good hint is to scan all the racks regardless of size because something labeled S may be on the S rack but is actually a L.***

Khaos I've been to 4 Burlington's in the metroplex and not seen one pair of golf shoes. I'm stumped.

Yeah, I haven't seen the crazy amount like last year. Guess it was false alarm.

Still early, it was spring when the stores were flooded with product

then that's cool. Never been a fan of Nike golf shoes, personally but hard to pass up a deal like that if you like them.
