yes - but if they're the same as a previous model, I might not as I know they will be OK. but I get a loyalty discount from the shop that internet buying can't always match by the time you add delivery costs in.
I think it's good to try new brands and versions as you might just find something better - and the only way you can do that is by running in them. my local shop lets me do that along the road outside and you can quickly get a feel if they are right or not.
even between version shoes can change in design and structure so again it's best to try. as an example, Asics made a big error by changing the sole design between Cumulus 9 and 10 such that the 10's didn't feel the same and for me they were uncomfy underfoot, so I changed to Brooks for a while before going for the Nimbus.
