  Ultraboost 22 Running Shoe

  This iteration of the ever-popular Ultraboost won a 2022 Sneaker Award for its bouncy ride, impressive support, and excellent fit (our tester said the way it hugged his foot was comparable to Cinderella’s glass slipper). We deemed it excellent at its full price, so it’s definitely worth your while at 27% off.

  New Balance

  FuelCell Prism V1 Running Shoe

  Another previous Sneaker Award winner, New Balance’s sleek FuelCell Prism v1 helps you feel stable yet quick on your feet. “They’re like the Goldilocks of sneakers—not too little cushion, not too much weight, just the right amount of speed and agility,” our tester wrote.

  Brooks

  Adrenaline GTS 23 Running Shoe

  Nicholas Japs, DPT, a physical therapist at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Bridgeport, Connecticut, previously recommended the supportive Brooks Adrenaline GTS to SELF, noting that its heel-to-toe drop takes pressure off your heel while you’re on the move, which can provide some welcome relief if you deal with heel pain related to plantar fasciitis.

  Asics

  Gel-Excite 10

  The Gel-Excite line from Asics is another great option for people with plantar fasciitis, Gigee Bhular, DPM, a foot and ankle physician at Virtua Health in New Jersey, previously told SELF. It’s also ideal for anyone who prefers a moderate—as opposed to maximal—amount of cushioning in their running shoes.

  Skechers

  Max Cushioning Elite 2.0

  Whether you’re working a long shift or headed to an outdoor concert, you need footwear that’s comfortable enough to stand in all day. Our pick? Skechers’ Max Cushioning Elite sneaker, which wowed our 2023 Sneaker Award tester with its shock absorption and thick (but stable) foam sole.

  Ryka

  Devotion X

  As someone with woefully flat feet, I’ve come to expect shoes with any amount of real arch support to feel clunky and cumbersome, but the Devotion X was flexible and light. The structure through the midfoot felt great on my basically non-existent arches.

  Altra

  Lone Peak 7 Trail Running Shoe

  Technical outdoor sneakers are usually pretty pricey, so if you’re thinking about hitting the trails this fall, here’s your chance to save. Altra’s expert-recommended Lone Peak style is 40% off—which is the biggest discount we’ve seen from the brand in recent memory. It’s protective, grippy, and zero-drop (meaning there’s a consistent height between the heel and forefoot). In a pinch, it also makes a solid hiking shoe.

  Merrell

  Moab Speed 2

  With its breathable mesh upper and tough rubber outsole, the Moab Speed 2 has everything you love about a sneaker and a hiking shoe in one comfy-cool package. We gave it a Sneaker Award this year for just how easy it is to slip on and head outside: “They were so comfortable and breathable in all environments,” our tester wrote. “I didn’t get any blisters, pain, or discomfort.”

  Saucony

  Peregrine 12 Trail Running Shoe

  Breathable yet rugged, the Peregrine is another longtime favorite among experienced trail runners. “The Peregrine trail running shoe from Saucony is my first choice when I’m running on a more technical trail that needs something a little more aggressive,” Heather Hart, ACSM-certified exercise physiologist, running coach, and owner of Hart Strength and Endurance, previously told SELF.

  Cole Haan

  GrandPro Topspin Triple Strap

  Whether you’re looking for sneakers you can wear to work or white sneaks that go with everything, this is the shoe for you. It’s got enough going on that it doesn’t look basic, and our Sneaker Award tester said it looks sleek, modern, and great for pretty much any setting: “I think they’re very classy and perfect for when you want to look more polished (say, for dinner, brunch, etc.).”
