Presidents Day means we’re slowly working our way towards spring. As we approach the lighter, sunnier season, our motivation to refresh all of the things we’ve been meaning to—like those over-used running or walking sneakers we’ve had for far too long—finally emerges. Replacing those shoes can truly transform your performance and recovery, since the support and cushion wears out overtime. And thanks to the holiday weekend, you can shop for a fresh new editor-loved new pair on sale. You’ll find top brands likeBrookstoHoka, up to 54% off. Shop the best six deals below, starting at $50.
Hoka Clifton 8
Hoka
$140$112 at Hoka.com
Taysha Murtaugh, a director for the food group, loves these Clifton 8 sneakers from Hoka. “I have wide feet and high arches and they give me the right amount of support,” Murtaugh says. She uses them for general exercise, making them a versatile option in her collection. The shoes have a neutral level of support and a balanced cushion, so they’re ideal for folks looking for something similar for their everyday walks and runs. They’re on sale in every color, but they’re selling fast, so don’t wait too long to grab them.
Reebok Club C 85
Zappos
$85$75 at Zappos
Hoka Kawana
$140$112 at Zappos
These were the sneakers that relieved my feet on vacation last year whenI was walking around 10 miles a day. I’d been wearing less comfortable shoes beforehand, and the second I put these on, their cloud-like lightweight feel and cushion provided instant relief. They have a slightly higher level of support than other sneakers, which really helped as I walked around all day on different surfaces with already sore legs. The cushion level is just enough to absorb impact, but not so much that it felt like I was lugging my feet around too. They’re rarely ever on sale, so grab them while you can.
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22
$140$90 at Zappos
Brooks Glycerin GTS 20
$190$120 at Zappos
The Glycerin GTS 20 is another great option for running we foundduring testing. This shoe’s hallmark is its high level of cushioning, providing a plush pad for your feet to land on. It helps to absorb impact, which we appreciated. The shoe itself fit perfectly at the top and around the ankle, which helped balance out the thick sole for extra stability. The biggest plus? These shoes worked well in a variety of settings, whether we were outside, or training in the gym.
Altra Outroad 2
$140$120 at Zappos
If you have flat feet, it might be hard to find the right shoe that supports you and feels comfortable at the same time. That’s what made these Altra shoes stand out duringour testing. They have a wider toe box, which gives more room inside the shoe for your feet to spread out as they normally would. The built-in arches and neutral support also help, as they’ll keep your feet from rolling inward too much. Shop them on sale in every color at Zappos.
Brooks Ghost 14
Amazon
$140$80 at Amazon
Allbirds Wool Runner Sneakers
REI
$110$50 at REI
Writer Elisabeth Sherman loves these Allbirds. “The Allbirds wool runners are so comfortable. I had a pair and basically just wore them into the ground, almost until they fell apart,” Sherman says. “I wore them almost every day, whether it was everyday errands or long walks at the park. Well worth the investment.” They’re on sale as low as $50 right now at REI.
