Whether you’re into long neighborhood strolls or you want to reach your personal best marathon time, we found shoes for you.

Best Presidents Day Sneaker Sales
Hoka Bondi 8
Hoka
The Hoka Bondi 8 sneaker is a favorite among podiatrists and editors. Carolyn Malcoun, associate editorial director, says these shoes “are like running on air” because of their comfortable cushion. Professionals agree, as Doctor of Podiatric Medicine at Ankle & Foot Centers of America Gregory Alvarez noted that these shoes are known for their cushion, adding that they provide great shock absorption and support. They’re marked down in select shades that are selling fast, so don’t wait around if you see your size on sale.
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23
Amazon
These Brooks sneakers aced our tests for men’s running shoes, though they’ll work for plenty of folks. (In fact, we spotted Jennifer Garner in the shoe last year.) The standout feature of these shoes is their added stabilizing technology at the arch and heel, which those who need more guidance when walking and running will appreciate. (This is handy for people with flat feet, too.) The soles are firm but are balanced out by the support and bounce of the sneaker’s cushioned base.
Skechers x Martha Stewart Ultra Flex 3.0 Neptune Hands-Free Slip-Ins
Zappos
For a simple slip-on option for walks or errands, these Skechers and Martha Stewart shoes are an excellent choice. Malcoun tried these shoes when they first came out, noting that they’re incredibly comfortable and easy to pop on when you’re on the go. They’re on sale in a few shades right now, including Malcoun’s favorite natural color that matches so many different outfits.
Lululemon Beyondfeel Running Shoe
lululemon
Lululemon makes some popular sneakers too, and right now, you can shop this Beyondfeel shoe for less in the brand’s “We Made Too Much” section. This shoe was made with the brand’s max cushion level for an extra plush feel for your everyday runs. The sneakers’ support allows you to take each step with confidence, and the colors are incredibly chic: Options include lilac and peach, gray and eucalyptus and yellow and melba shoes.
Brooks Glycerin 21
Brooks
If you’re looking for a pair of Brooks sneakers, check out these Glycerin 21 shoes. They have high cushioning for a plush feel, paired with a neutral support level that will work for most folks. Plus, the tractioned sole and supportive upper make these shoes perfect for running outside. They’re on sale in every color right now, including an all-black pair and a pink pair with pops of green.
On Cloudmonster
On
I love my On sneakers—they’re one of my favorite sneaker brands on the market right now. The unique open soles make the shoes feel lightweight yet springy, which is great for walks or runs. This particular pair is Cynthia Erivo’s favorite for marathon running thanks to its max cushion design. The shoes have a rocker shape to help add momentum to each step and are on sale in every color, from the fawn and turmeric shade to the frost and acacia combination.
Reebok DMX Comfort + Sneaker
Amazon
These budget-friendly shoes are even easier on the wallet with this discount, which is up to 50% depending on the color and size you choose. Podiatrists love these Reeboks as walking shoes for their excellent cushioning feel, incredible shock absorption and comfortable fit. They’re also waterproof, making them an excellent choice for rain-heavy spring.
Asics GEL-Nimbus 26
Zappos
This popular pair of Asics is 31% off in every color, though sizes are selling out fast. What sets these apart is their high cushioned sole that’s thickest at the arch and heel for a soft landing. The padded tongue and collar help keep the shoe comfortable, while the breathable upper keeps your foot secure and ventilated for all of those runs ahead.
