" I wouldn't buy online unless I had a specific model and size I knew was perfect."
That 's fine if you have an LBS, I don't. I live on an ISland in Alaksa and no bike shops. I just ordered a pair of Nike Yuhas from PricePoint (Big time on sale, only $44). I hope they fit OK, they should at least they're in US sizes (should help)
