The dual-density foam base coupled with the rubber outsole provides ample support; however, we don't recommend this pair for long-distance runs as it's a heavier shoe. This rocker-sole shoe is a favorite of both runners and walkers alike for its maximum cushioning, soft feel and stable base. It's particularly good for those with limited ankle mobility. There's a lot of size and color availability for this deal, too, so you've got plenty of options. If your feet are on the more sensitive side, the Asics Gel-Quantum 180 VII provides extra support via its foam cushioning. As you wear this shoe during workouts, its patented technology increases shock absorption underfoot for easier movements. The only catch: It's only left in this one color. On's Cloudsurfer is great for runners who want plush cushioning. It's a soft-but-responsive shoe, and overall it's a great training partner for daily runs. For some people these run small, though, so you may have to go up a half size. This do-it-all shoe from Brooks is designed for both walking and running. It has a balanced feel and neutral support, making it a great all-around pick. This shoe from Hoka is geared towards trail running. It has a lightweight sole to make it dynamic, and comes in an array of bright, eye-catching colors. This sleek shoe is on sale in select colors from adidas. The heel is designed for stability, and the shoe is also made from 20% recycled materials. A take on the classic New Balance look, this athletic shoe offers an extra-cushiony insole. It comes in a wide range of neutral colors, and in a wide fit option, too. The Arahi is designed to be a stability shoe, making it a good pick for those with overpronation. This updated version has a more breathable upper and plusher tongue, and is perfect for a casual walk or more intense workouts. If you struggle with overpronation or are looking for an option that promotes ample stability, we recommend the Hoka Arahi 7, our top stability recommendation in our guide to the best men's running shoes. Standout features include additional support on the inner side of the shoe, a firm heel and a wider platform, all of which make for a more stable stride. While you may not want to run long distances in this pair, the Nike Metcon 9 is a favorite for its dual-density foam and grippy outsole, both of which make it a breeze to traverse across a variety of different surfaces. Its versatility alone, in fact, is why we named it our top shoe for crossfit in the best workout shoes for men. The durability of this pair can withstand just about any workout. Featuring the brand's signature shock-absorbing tech, these Asics sneakers are built to withstand the outdoors. The mesh upper cools your feet while you run, while the grippy outsole ensures plenty of traction.

This shoe earned the top spot as the best neutral running shoe in our guide on best running shoes for men. It features the brand's PureGel technology for lightweight cushioning and shock absorption. Overall, this is a comfortable choice for casual runners.

It's on sale in this grey color and three others. These running shoes from Asics offer adapative stability and a lightweight design. A knit heel tab makes it easy to get this shoe on and off after workouts. These responsive running shoes from Adidas are designed for a stabel stride. The shoe comes in several colors, and this version with an ombre pink and orange sole will surely catch eyes as you run by. This running shoe from Hoka is specially designed for trail running. This model has been updated to be more breathable, and comes in an array of fun, vibrant colors. These retro-looking sneakers pop in red and orange. They're designed to be extra lightweight, thanks to a resilient Lightstrike Pro midsole.

The Best Prime Day Running Shoe Deals On Editor-Tested Favorites
Amazon Prime Day is nearly upon us, and this year, it's a weeklong event. While a new pair of running shoes may not be on your immediate radar (big-ticket tech and home items tend to steal the show), consider this your official notice to check out the sale—which we've already curated for you. To find the best Prime Day running shoe deals, we sorted through dozens of product pages and consulted avid runners on our team for the most quality finds. Some of the best deals we've seen so far include 29% off the Brooks Ghost 16, our pick for the best running and walking shoe for women, and 35% off the Brooks Glycerin 21 for men. We found the best Prime Day running shoe deals, from Brooks, Asics and more. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER As for the best brands to shop during Prime Day, Brooks and New Balance are leading the pack so far, but we also rounded up can't-miss deals from other retailers like Hoka and Nike. Whether you're a long-distance runner in need of a fresh pair before marathon season or a casual walker looking for a reliable option to last through all-day wear, these are the best Prime Day running shoe deals to shop now. We'll continue to check back in with more discounts and updated prices as the week goes on and Prime Day gets in full swing. On Cloud 5: Now $105, Was Hoka Arahi 7: Now $100, Was $145 (31% Off) Asics is a reliable option for many runners, and the Gel-Kayano 31 is no exception. Reviewers praise this option for its extra-supportive design and bouncy sole, making it ideal for anyone with plantar fasciitis or those who tend to overpronate. If you're on the hunt for a pair of sneakers that can carry you through training to race day, consider the FuelCell Rebel V4. It uses New Balance's patented FuelCell foam, designed to propel you forward while also offering plenty of mid-sole support. This option from Saucony is visually stunning (plus it comes in a variety of classic neutral colorways), but it's also functional, too. The dual-cushioning design adds an exceptional amount of cushioning and its breathable mesh upper ensures plenty of airflow. The Brooks Glycerin 21 shoe has one of the highest Amazon ratings out of any other option—and for good reason. Reviewers love its cushioned yet supportive design, with many happily repurchasing for the second or third time. A versatile option, the Saucony Echelon 9 works well as an everyday shoe or a long-distance go to. Reviewers praise its wide toe box and supportive outsole, which make for a reliably comfortable fit. If you're looking for a reliable option to power you through long-distance runs, the Mizuno Wave Rider 28 is a worthy contender. Its patented NXT cushioning helps with forward motion, and the thick slab of cushioning at the base ensures ample support. Brooks is the go-to brand for many runners, and the Ghost 16 is its most popular style. These sneakers offer an excellent balance of cushioning and support with a uniquely lightweight feel. Praised by reviewers for its versatility, the Brooks Ghost Max 2 offers a similar lightweight feel as other sneakers from Brooks, but with added cushioning for all-day wear. If you're in need of a lightweight option great for all-day wear, we love the On Cloud 5. Despite its lighter weight, our tester found it worked well for traversing both short and long distances, plus it offers plenty of stability for a variety of terrain. For those looking for an option that can withstand a wide range of workouts, we recommend the Nike Metcon 9, our cross-training shoe pick for women in our best workout shoe story. The dual-density foam base coupled with the rubber outsole provides ample support; however, we don't recommend this pair for long-distance runs as it's a heavier shoe. For a sneaker that doubles as a great walking and running shoe, we recommend the On Cloud 5—our top overall recommendation in our best men's walking shoe roundup. Its CloudTec foam offers a uniquely forgiving, cloud-like feel, while the Speedboard that runs along the perimeter of the shoe promotes plenty of grip and stability. If you struggle with overpronation or are looking for an option that promotes ample stability, we recommend the Hoka Arahi 7, our top stability recommendation in our guide to the best men's running shoes. Standout features include additional support on the inner side of the shoe, a firm heel and a wider platform, all of which make for a more stable stride.
