    You'd probably be better off asking on the 'Shop but don't drop' forum:

    Dont forget that if you are a Mutual Points member and you've registered your debit/credit card through them, you receive mutualpoints in store at JJB. I received over 350 points for a £45.00 purchase last week!

    My guess is you will probably be able to get a supervisor to give you about 10%, but only if you can see some kind of flaw, perhaps some glue showing around the sole? I'd expect that only the managers can discount higher than that, and they probably aren't as appraochable or findable in a large store.

    Personally if I am looking for a specific pair of trainers, I look online first (even Ebay) for the prices I can get, go in and mess them around a bit trying on different trainers, then ask them the price of the ones I was after in the first place. I then tell them I was thinking more in the region of £X and see what happens. If they won't bring the price down (and they have before now) at least I now know which size to get online and have had a bit of fun trying on other shoes!
