Shop Hoka deals
Want to finally try Hokas—a.k.a. the high stack sneaker you’ve been seeing everywhere? (Or maybe your current pair is a little worse for wear.) Either way, take advantage of these major sales and scoop them up.
If you’re not sure which shoe to get, we recommend the Clifton 9, especially if you’re looking for sturdy, cushy walking shoes. They’re also great for running or standing all day, Samantha Sklar, DPM, FACFAS, a podiatrist at Foot First Podiatry Centers in Illinois, previously told SELF. “We always start with the Clifton because it’s just a generally good shoe for most people,” she says.
Also marked down: The Arahi 7, a supportive stability shoe, and the Mach 6, a sleek racing sneak.
Shop On deals
On’s Cloudmonster 2, an updated version of a SELF Sneaker Award winner, is a great option for everyday walks and runs. Our tester says their cushioned soles propel her forward, without being so plush that she feels unstable while running on trickier terrain.
Shop Asics deals
Asics is best known for its supportive running shoes, and a bunch are discounted right now. The Gel-Kayano 31 comes recommended by Laura Norris, CPT, an RRCA-certified run coach: “The [level of] support is ideal for runners who may overpronate—when your ankles roll in as you land—or who have low arches, but don’t want a traditional stability shoe that impacts their gait too much,” she told SELF.
But really, you can’t go wrong with any pair. While you browse, check out the Gel-Excite 10 (one of our favorite shoes for plantar fasciitis) and the Gel-Cumulus 26 (a plush running shoe that’s over 20% off right now).
Shop Brooks deals
As a Brooks fan myself, I can see why they get so much hype—I’ve walked for hours in my Brooks Ghost Max sneakers (and never had any hot spots or blisters).
SELF writer Lauren Wingenroth feels the same way about the Ghost 16: “Having run dozens of miles in them, I can attest that they live up to their name—I can almost forget they’re there, in a good way.” Caroline Bermel, product marketing specialist and head shoe tester at Fleet Feet, adds that it’s because these sneakers strike the perfect balance. “[They have] enough cushioning to provide support and impact absorption, but not too much where you can’t feel the ground,” she previously told SELF.
The best part? Both pairs are 20% off today, while the Glycerin 21 is discounted even more.
Shop Lululemon deals
If you only think of leggings or belt bags when you think of Lululemon, allow us to enlighten you. The brand makes some top-notch running, training, and lifestyle shoes too.
