Update 12/2/14: It’s now officially Cyber Monday, and the deals we’re seeing on shoes are getting steeper. The newest are on the Reeebok Floatzig 1 and Brooks Ghost Max Cushion, which are both well-reviewed by our testers and currently discounted at 23 and 53 percent off, respectively. The Saucony Endorphin trail running shoe remains as the heftiest discount at 70 percent off its original price. And the New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v7, the Brooks Cascadia 17, and the The Best Running Shoes of 2025 have dropped in price further from what we were seeing last week. The most popular shoe deal among readers so far this Cyber Monday is the Saucony Endorphin Edge, which is as much as 50 percent off depending on the size.
Shopping for running shoes on sale can be fraught. Depending on where you’re buying, the level of discount can depend on the color and size. And you might have to resort to plugins like camelcamelcamel or Vetted to make sure the price isn’t artificially jacked up to make a deal only appear good. That said, we still advise you to avoid paying full price if you can. And this time of year, you likely won’t have to, thanks to Cyber Monday running shoe deals (even if some of them aren’t explicitly branded that way).
Running right now, December 2, until the end of the day, shoe brands are offering discounts on some of their most popular models. These sales extend beyond already affordable pairs and can take sizable chunks out of the prices of top-rated options. While the absolute latest models likely won’t be on sale, many shoe manufacturers list their flagship kicks from the last few years at up to 50 percent off.
Many shoes are discounted directly from the brands themselves, while third-party retailers like Amazon and Zappos also run their own sales. We scoured the brands’ and retailers’ listings to find the best running shoe deals across the board. We prioritized shoes that our editors and wear-tester team have tested and recommended out of the more than 100 we run in each year. But there are a few here that we’re comfortable recommending from afar, given our experience and knowledge of their features.
- The Saucony Endorphin Edge, which our testers loved for its carbon plate specifically designed for the uneven terrain, is currently on sale for 70 percent off.
- The Asics Gel-Kayano 30, which ranks as CA Notice at Collection in our testing, is $60 off the original price.
- Grab the Alta Lone Peak 7, which we awarded for being one of 2023’s best trail-running shoes, for 23 percent off. Testers continue to The Best and Most Comfortable Running Socks Tested.
- Lululemon’s Blissfeel 2 is a major upgrade on the original, per our testers who recommend them as a supportive recovery shoe for days following quick-paced runs. It’s nearly $50 off in certain colors.

Saucony Endorphin Edge Neutral Running Shoe
The Ghost Max’s thick stack height makes it great for running long distances. It’s also a great shoe for easy daily runs when you want a lot of cushioning. Most of our testers loved the comfort, with the ample DNA Loft v2 midsole helping reduce joint stress during runs on hard, less forgiving surfaces. Naturally, don’t expect to break any personal records in the pair.
This men’s version of the lululemon running shoe is a heavy but reliable daily trainer. Our testers appreciated the Beyondfeel for its stable design and stiff cushioning. The high stack is sturdy enough for long runs, though some testers noted that because of that stiffness, it may need a few miles to break in.
If you want cushioning that supports your feet as you run, the Bondi 8 from Hoka is the most comfortable option to slip into. The shoe has a beefy stack that lends itself to an ultra-plush ride. That said, don’t expect to be weighed down heavily, either. The shoe actually had a lighter midsole than its previous iteration.
One of the most well-loved and well-rounded shoes tested by our team, the Saucony Triumph 21 sneakers are a daily trainer that offer enough responsiveness for speedy, yet comfortable runs.

Much like the men’s version of the shoe, the Bondi 8 stands out for its incredibly thick stack of cushioning. That stack height cushions the blow on your joints and feet as you run on hard surfaces. It also helps the shoe work well as a recovery option following a marathon—or just a few particularly long runs.
The Triumph 20 from Saucony stands out not for any one feature, but for how well nearly all the features work together. If you’re looking for a neutral trainer to wear for your daily runs, this is it. Our testers found that the thick stack of cushioning didn’t bog them down or sap their momentum.

While the shoe may run slow, it’s still relatively responsive and doesn’t feel like it’s weighing you down even on long runs.
The 10 Best Running Shoes for Women CA Notice at Collection, the Gel-Kayano 30 is the newest version of the beloved classic. Testers who ran in previous versions noted how much more responsive and lively the 30 is compared to those older models.

Cyber Monday Men’s Trail Running Shoe Deals
While the Olympus 5 is one of Altra's most cushioned options, we found the lugs and Vibram sole to be just as impressive. The high stacks of zero-drop help you move naturally through uneven terrain, but the deep lugs give you grip on dirt, gravel, and even wet rock. Testers also loved the wide toebox for not constricting their feet.
Brooks Ghost Max Cushion Trail Running Shoe
Saucony’s best trail running shoe stands out for its lightweight design, which keeps runners quick on their feet as they traverse uneven terrain. The shoes come with deep-set, multidirectional lugs to provide grip across a range of surfaces, and the rock plate protects runners from errant scree and roots.
The Cascadia 17 has a thick stack of cushioning that makes for comfortable runs even on gravel and rocks. This is paired with an aggressive outsole meant to give you traction on different terrains. We particularly like the integrated rock shield sandwiched between layers of foam—even if you do land on a rock, you shouldn’t feel a thing.
The Lone Peak 7 has long stood out as one of Altra’s best overall shoes due to how well it translates many classic brand features into a trail-running design. This includes the wide toebox, zero-drop cushioning, and high stack. Add to this a deep set of lugs spread across the outsole, and it works well for hikes and runs on dry dirt (not so much wet). Testers also noted how much they loved the flexible forefoot, especially when running up inclines.
Rated as New Balance’s best overall trail running shoe, the Hierro v7 works great due to its responsive cushioning and lightweight design. The latest shoe version is the lightest yet, and the Fresh Foam midsole provides enough bounce to keep your momentum going even on difficult runs.

The lightweight shoe also has a breathable upper—that will help cut down on sweat buildup even in the height of summer.
The Blissfeel Trail is not meant to handle the toughest off-road runs but is instead built for everything else. Many of our testers found that they actually liked it just as much for hiking as they did for running. They’ll wear the shoe for a few easy miles and then transition into a light hike to cool down.
This trail runner from Altra is meant for more than just the dirt. In fact, the Outroad 2 is designed specifically as a hybrid option. It does not have lugs as deep as on other shoes we recommend here, which also helps it brace the road. The shoe is great for anyone whose daily running path touches sidewalks, grass, and dirt paths.
A discount this steep should normally give you pause. But since the Endorphin Speed is technically discontinued, you can get this speedy shoe for close to $150 off.
