From Brooks to Asics to Hoka, these running shoes are on sale at amazing discounts. Now’s the perfect time to buy new kicks for summer fun runs and races. Many of these shoes are on our best running shoes list and offer discounts of up to 46 percent.

And boy, are there amazing running shoe sales. You’ll find favorite daily trainers and marathon racing shoes, like the Brooks Ghost 17 and Saucony Endorphin Pro 4. Everything you need is here: If you’re a beginner looking for a shoe with Goldilocks cushioning, like the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24—here’s your guide to point you in the right direction and help you save big.

These shoes are available in limited colors and sizes, so race there fast!

The Glycerin 22 is the first Glycerin with DNA Tuned, a nitrogen-infused foam with dual-cell construction that softens landings while also acting as a springboard for high energy return. The shoe has a padded tongue and collar for enhanced comfort and a secure fit.

“There is definitely more of a spring in your step compared to other shoes,” said tester Steven Blasi. “There is a nicely cushioned landing with a return that really makes the work of motion seem effortless. I can only compare the return to having a carbon-fiber plate: without the stiffness of your foot striking flatly, you get a bounce. The motion is more natural.”

Truly, the Endorphin Pro 4 is my personal favorite marathon shoe. The fit isn’t compressive like the Nike Vaporfly 4, and the ride isn’t as volatile as the Nike Alphafly 3 (or, for that matter, the Saucony Endorphin Elite 2).

Layers of Pwrrun PB and Pwrrun HG foam provide high rebound and support over hours of road racing. The Speedroll rocker profile encourages fast turnover.

“The Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 is a great upgrade in the Endorphin Pro lineup,” said tester Greg Jaindl. “I have worn all previous versions of the Endorphin Pro line, and this version is a great update without changing what works too much.

I think the best part of the shoe is its snappy, responsive ride! Saucony has nailed the smooth transition with its Speedroll technology. The Pro 4 also makes sure to put enough cushioning in the shoe that you’re protected for longer distances, but not making it too squishy that you lose out on the energy return.”

We gave the Hoka Bondi 9 the best recovery shoe plum in the best running shoes guide because of its plush cushioning. It provides comfort and support so you can still get a run in after a hard workout the day before.

Hoka made the ninth iteration thicker in cushioning but more streamlined to tamp down its “billowiness.” What you get is a sportier Bondi that feels like a mattress for your feet.

“I have to say it is hard to pick one thing about the Hoka Bondi 9 that I liked most. It is a great shoe,” said tester Jeff Miles. “The combination of comfort, cushioning, lightness, and traction is fantastic. You just tell yourself this shoe is going to make it easier on your legs. The combination of foam types works so well together that it doesn’t over-cushion the ride, remaining responsive and helping you move forward. This is a very tough combination to get right.”

Wow! The Brooks Ghost 17 is now on sale! It’s the go-to daily trainer we recommend to vets and newbs alike. The Ghost 17 has even more soft but supportive DNA Loft v3 foam cushioning in the heel and forefoot.

“I would rate the Brooks Ghost 17 as one of the best shoes I’ve run in on the road in a long time,” said tester Liz Fones. “When I first put them on, I felt like they might be a bit constrictive compared to the Hokas I am used to wearing. However, once I started running, I felt like I had an old friend by my side, giving me the boost I needed!

Another shoe I recommend to new runners is the Ride. The shoe has lots of supportive cushioning yet feels surprisingly lightweight on your foot—and on a run. Pwrrun+ cushioning provides a high-bound ride, making the shoe versatile for all kinds of workouts.

“The comfort of these shoes was my favorite aspect,” said tester Matthew Aberant. “They just felt really good when I put them on my feet. The upper was snug, but not too tight. The lacing system was smooth and easy to get right (neither too tight nor too loose), and the cushioning felt supportive without being too soft. ”

This super trainer just came out last fall, and it’s already on sale for $160. We like it for its propulsive ride and shock-absorbing cushioning.

I wore the Sonicblast on a 16-mile run during my Boston Marathon training block. Despite the 46mm stack height, the shoes didn’t feel unstable. They also made my mid-run race-pace tempos more bearable.

“The Sonicblast felt like a very good option for all types of training runs, and for this reason, I love it,” said Trevor Conde. “It’s versatile and useful on any day of training. I would genuinely use this for any type of run: easy miles, tempo, speed work, hard intervals, long runs, etc. I love putting it on for an easy run and letting the legs just feel more pop and quick turnover than I normally feel on an easy mileage day.”

We love the Guide 18 because it’s a stability shoe that’s just so darn comfy. Don’t believe me? Then read it straight from tester Dave Block’s shoe feedback form:

“The first time I tried on the shoe, I cracked a big smile. I *loved* the feel. It’s just so darn soft and comfortable inside! It put me in a positive frame of mind before I went out the door. If memory serves, this shoe has the most comfortable interior among all those I’ve wear-tested.

”The shoe features Saucony’s Center Path technology, which uses asymmetric midsole geometry and a wider midfoot. This translates to non-obtrusive support for overpronators and late-onset overpronators alike.

Another great choice for running and walking, the Gel-Nimbus is known for its soft, pillowy midsole, which is ideal for recovery days or lots of miles on the road. FF Blast Plus cushioning paired with Asics’s PureGel provides an incredibly cozy platform that molds around your foot.

“From the moment I put on the Asics Nimbus 27, it was clear that the Nimbus was an outstanding running shoe, offering an excellent balance of cushioning, comfort, and support,” said tester Dee Koutsourais. “Having run in a wide range of shoes within the neutral category and even those on the periphery, the Nimbus 27 is definitely a strong contender in the max-cushion lineup. The plush, cloud-like feel of the midsole, combined with great durability and breathability, makes it an ideal choice for long-distance runners and anyone on their feet for extended periods.”

The Brooks Ghost may be the shoe that gets the most attention for its Goldilocks feel, but many of us started with the Adrenaline GTS, which is the stability version of the Ghost. This version has guide rails for stability to help with late-onset overpronation—that moment during your long run when you get tired, and your form gets sloppy.

“Putting on a pair of Adrenalines for me is like going home from college for Christmas break, a familiar and relaxing comfort,” said tester Alyssa Dever. “Especially because I am currently building back running mileage from a persistent lower ankle/foot tendon issue, wearing these shoes was very helpful because they give good support, and the cushioning was helpful as I am building back up strength.”
