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.

Nordstrom is discounting running and walking sneakers — these are all the best deals to shop right now
Spring is coming up quickly, and now is a great time to invest in a new pair of sneakers for your upcoming outdoor activities. Whether you're in need of walking or running shoes, you can find what you're looking for during Nordstrom's sneaker sale, which has up to 65% off on some of our favorite brands. Below, I rounded up some of the best deals on sneakers at Nordstrom right now, including options our NBC Select editors love. However, things are selling quickly, so I recommend shopping as soon as possible. Hoka Mach 6 Running Shoe This is our favorite lightweight running shoe due to its semi-firm cushioning that keeps your feet close to the ground and a durable rubber outsole that gives the sneaker extra grip, says NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez. She likes that they help her move around freely without weighing her down, plus the shoe's tongue is attached to the upper, which keeps it in place as you run. I got my first pair of Ultraboosts as a gift back in 2018, and they lasted me over six years as my go-to gym shoes. They have a cushioned, springy sole that's comfortable for walking, working out and all-day wear, in my experience. They're made from recycled ocean plastic that gives the sneaker lots of stretch, so it can give your feet gentle but still firm support, according to the brand. I also love that the shoes are designed to be pull-on, so no need to fuss with laces; you just slide your feet in and you're good to go. Hoka Clifton 9 Running Shoe The Hoka Clifton 9 is our choice for best overall Hoka walking shoe because it has 'just the right amount of everything', says NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin. She walked for miles in these shoes and says they have great traction and a springy outsole that helps to propel her feet forward. NBC Select commerce editor Cory Fernandez also says they're very comfortable and fit true to size. These running shoes are designed for all-weather use — they have a rubber sole inspired by winter tires, which helps them grip the ground and channel water out of the way while you run, according to the brand. The sneaker's upper is made from a water-resistant mesh material, and the shoe also has removable, cushioned insoles for extra comfort. Saucony makes some of our favorite running shoes, and this model is made from a breathable mesh and foam for extra cushioning while you run, according to the brand. The mesh ventilates your feet and prevents excessive sweating, while the removable, cushioned insole helps with arch support, says Saucony. New Balance 550 Basketball Sneaker This sneaker is made from a strong, synthetic leather that can easily hold up to wear and tear that comes with playing basketball outdoors, according to the brand. It's highly rated with a 4.3-star average rating from 24 reviews at Nordstrom, and has soft, fabric details that add to the vintage design. You can use these sneakers for both running and everyday wear. They have a gel cushion that's designed to absorb impact as you walk for more comfort, and a knit upper for breathability, according to the brand. The sneaker also has reflective details to make them visible in the evening and during night runs, according to Asics. We're huge Brooks fans at NBC Select, and this model is ideal for all-weather running. The mesh upper is covered in a water-resistant layer that helps protect it against rain and puddles, according to the brand. The shoe also has increased cushioning, plus a 4.1-star average rating from 53 reviews at Nordstrom. Salomon Speedcross 3 Trail Running Sneaker You can wear these Salomon sneakers in any terrain, according to the brand. They have a one-pull lace system that makes it easy to slip them on and off, and includes mudguards and added traction on the soles for rougher terrain. The sneakers also have extra cushioning for comfort while hiking, according to the brand.
