My job is testing running shoes — here are 5 shoes on sale for under $100 I'd recommend
I get to test and review the best running shoes for a living and, yes, it's a pretty sweet gig all round. I usually test around 50 pairs of shoes a year, and love being able to recommend the right shoe to a runner, especially when that shoe is available at a big discount. Running shoes are not cheap, so I keep track of my favorites that I expect to drop in price in the sales, and when they do I like to tell the world so runners don't miss out. Right now there are five shoes I know will be perfect for a whole lot of runners that have been reduced to under $100, so if you're in need of new running kicks right now, don't miss out on these excellent deals. The Hoka Mach 6 is a shoe I go back to time and time again, because it's a simple but highly versatile option for daily training, and I also like the look of it for casual use. The lightweight design still has enough cushioning underfoot to be comfortable over long distances, and the rocker shape helps you to roll smoothly along at any pace, from easy plods to all-out intervals. The men's shoe is down to $97 in the Hoka sale, while the women's Mach 6 is available for $111, which is still a good deal. The Rebel v4 is one of the best shoes I've tested in the last year, with an incredibly lightweight but still cushioned and stable design that makes it suitable for all kinds of runs and all kinds of runners. The Rebel v5 has just launched, meaning the Rebel v4 is ripe for discounts, and having tested both models I'd say the Rebel v4 is the one I'd go for given this saving as there isn't a big upgrade with the new shoe. The women's Rebel v4 is also reduced to $99 in the Running Warehouse sale. The Adidas Supernova Rise 2 wasn't a shoe that dazzled me during testing, but I thought it was a good value daily trainer at its full price of $140, so would absolutely recommend considering it for just $70 in the Adidas sale. Both the women's and men's Supernova Rise 2 are reduced by 50% right now, and it's a nimble but cushioned daily trainer that's also highly durable. One of the most popular and reliable running shoes around, the Nike Pegasus has been around for 41 years and the latest version is a strong addition to the line. I found it comfortable for easy and long runs, and good for walking as well, and there are a range of deals on the Pegasus 41 available in the Nike sale. The women's Pegasus 41 is down to $105, and there are some NFL/college team editions reduced to $82. While it's not a shoe that wows you on the run with its speed or springiness, the Brooks Ghost 16 is comfortable, durable and just incredibly dependable. It's a shoe I often recommend to new runners, but works well for runners of any level really, and both the women's and men's Brooks Ghost 16 are reduced to under $100 on Amazon. I'm just testing the Ghost 17 now, and wouldn't say the new shoe is worth paying a lot more for than the Ghost 16, so this deal is worth picking up.

These expert-recommended running shoes are on sale for under $100
Experts have previously advised that you should replace your running shoes every 300 to 500 miles. And if you run regularly, that can mean you're buying a new pair of sneakers a few times a year. A few years ago, I ran several races, including three half-marathons. Between training and the actual races, I logged enough miles to have to replace my sneakers three times, which was a hit on my budget. So, whenever I see a good pair of sneakers on sale, I take notice. While my go-to running shoes are from Hoka, I've completed several races in the Brooks Ghost 16 sneakers — and they are currently available at a great price on Amazon. Get all the details below. These sneakers were our best overall pick for running shoes, with both NBC Select editors and experts giving them kudos. They have moderate cushioning in the sole to absorb shock as your feet hit the ground, without feeling too bulky or heavy. They also have a breathable mesh upper, a soft midsole and a segmented heel pad for a smooth heel-to-toe transition, according to the brand. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin finds them to be reliable for both road running and treadmill workouts. I have wider feet and appreciate that these shoes have a wide toe box that allows my toes to fully splay while running without any pinching or discomfort. The shoes are available in sizes 5 to 13, come in half sizes and are available in standard, narrow, wide and extra wide widths. These sneakers normally retail for $140 but are currently on sale for $100 on Amazon. Both the men's and women's versions of this shoe are on sale. Why trust NBC Select? I'm a writer at NBC Select who covers a variety of topics, including home, tech and beauty. I have been covering major shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday for over a decade.

For instance, the Brooks Ghost 16 are now just $99 and hold a spot on our list of the best running shoes for women. You can also snag the affordable Brooks Revel 7 for just $84. Keep scrolling to check out the 9 best running deals that caught my eye in the Brooks running sale. If you're new to the world of running and don't want to spend too much, this is the shoe for you. The Revel 7 provides a springy, comfortable feel on the road thanks to its added cushioning — but they're also great for walking. The shoe's arrow-point pattern in the outsole also lets your foot move quickly from heel to toe. The men's shoe is also on sale for $84. Holding a top spot on our list of the best women's running shoes, the Brooks Ghost 16 is the first version of the Ghost to feature Brooks' nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole foam, and as a result it's a major upgrade on the Ghost 15. It's a reliable daily trainer that's perfect for beginner runners. You can also grab the men's version for $99. The Brooks Ghost Max 2 is a shoe designed for runners and walkers who want maximum cushioning and stable landings. In our testing we found it comfy and responsive with a smooth ride and plenty of stability. And yet it feels light on your feet. The women's version is also on sale for $119. This reliable and speedy shoe is perfect for runs in the rain. They offer waterproof and breathable protection to the Adrenaline's signature shoe and they also have responsive cushioning and smooth transitions for on-the-go comfort. The men's shoe is also on sale for $119. The Brooks Hyperion Max 2 is a big update on its predecessor and the most versatile shoe in the Brooks range as a plated trainer that can handle everything from short speed sessions to easy long runs. The women's shoe is also on sale for $149. It's hard to imagine a sports bra offering storage when you're so accustomed to awkwardly shoving your belongings wherever you can. But, the 3 Pocket Sports Bra has, you guessed it, three in-built pockets — two on the sides and one on the back, which is big enough to slide your phone into. For women, the Chaser 5' Shorts also have the 2-in-1 style, offering runners security and comfort. There's a soft cloud seam that makes these shorts chafe-free and you can run unencumbered with five pockets — two on the outer leg, two front pockets in the liner, and a back zipper pocket for your phone. Check all three colors to find the best deal in your size. These 2-in-1 shorts feature a boxer brief liner that provides coverage without restricting your movement. Additionally, they have a flat waistband for a secure fit, perfect for picking up speed. These longtime favorites were made for the long haul. At 35%, this wet weather jacket could fast become one of your running essentials. It's fitted, while still working over multiple layers, and it'll keep you dry as the weather becomes increasingly unpredictable.

Run, don't walk! This popular Brooks running shoe has dropped to $99 on Amazon
If you're looking to upgrade your daily running shoe (or maybe you've been inspired by Tom's Guide and want to try Jeffing for the first time), I've got good news — one of the best running shoes on the market just dropped to $99 in this Amazon sale. The Brooks Ghost line is extremely popular, and for good reason. It's the brand's daily cushioned running shoe, designed to get you from A to B without any issues. It's perfect for beginners, for those looking for a sneaker to walk in, and for anyone trying to get around their first marathon. Plus, right now, it's discounted from $140 to $99 on Amazon. The Brooks Ghost 16 is on sale in both men's and women's running shoes. You'll need to cycle through the different color options in your size to find the best price. The shoe comes in a huge range of colors in both the men's and women's shoes, and comes in four different widths — regular, narrow, wide, and extra wide. Shop the men's shoe here. For a shoe to be on its 16th iteration, it must be doing something right. The Brooks Ghost has a cult following, thanks to its comfort and cushioning, and the 16 is our favorite version yet. It's the first to feature Brooks' nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole foam, and as a result, it's a major upgrade on the Ghost 15. It's a reliable daily trainer that's perfect for beginners. Our fitness writer Jess Downey loved the underfoot feel of the Ghost 16 when testing. 'On the roads, I found the DNA Loft v3 struck a good balance between soft and responsive. I noticed the shoe felt soft and forgiving underfoot, but it also felt stable, which we have the thick rubber outsole to thank for this,' she said. Tom's Guide's Nick Harris-Fry, a 2:25 marathon runner, enjoyed the shoe for longer training runs. 'I've run 50 miles in the shoe, and the ride is very consistent. It's not a particularly springy or soft shoe, but it is comfortable enough for long runs, and the foam is resilient, so it feels exactly the same at the end of a 13-mile run as it did at the start. That's in contrast to some shoes with softer foams that can feel great at mile one but harden up by the end of a long run.' If you're looking for a comfortable, reliable running shoe, you can't go wrong with the Brooks Ghost 16. It's not the fastest shoe or the lightest shoe, but it's extremely comfortable and durable, and for $99, it's a great price.
