The Best Running Shoe Deals (August 2022)
Everyone loves new running shoe day. Doesn’t matter if you really need new shoes, it’s just exciting to get your feet in something different. The only thing better than a brand new pair of shoes, however, is a new pair of shoes that you don’t have to pay full price for. Over the years, we’ve developed some pretty keen senses when it comes to tracking down deals, so we figured it’s about time we share our favorites with you. Here are the best running shoe deals you can get right now.
We’ve done our best to pick out savings from a few of the most popular retailers, but we’re going to stick to running shoes for this list. If you want some deals on clothing or gear, it’s best to head straight to Running Warehouse because you never know what’s going to show up. There’s also a chance that some of these deals will sell out before we have a chance to replace them. We’ll do what we can to swap them out quickly, but we haven’t figured out how to automate Brandon quite yet.
Anyway, let’s get to the savings.
Running Warehouse running shoe deals
As mentioned above, Running Warehouse is like a one-stop shop for the best running deals around. It’s not locked in with a single brand, so the team can bring you great savings no matter your preference. The best part is that Running Warehouse guarantees quick shipping, so you can usually have new shoes at your door in a matter of days. Right now, there’s a full slate to choose from since brands are finally emerging from their supply chain issues and blessing us with stacks of new models.
Hoka Mach 4
USE: Great lightweight daily trainer with a touch of bounce underfoot.
WAS: $130 NOW: $90
Shop Hoka Mach 4 – Men Shop Hoka Mach 4 – WomenNew Balance FuelCell Rebel v2
USE: Tempo shoe that can transition to a lightweight daily trainer. Incredible comfort and bounce from the Fuelcell midsole. One of our favorite all-around shoes.

WAS: $180 NOW: $144
Shop Hoka Carbon X 2 – Men Shop Hoka Carbon X 2 – WomenHolabird Sports running shoe deals
Holabird Sports is a lot like Running Warehouse in that it’s not stuck with running shoe deals from just one brand. Instead, you can find unique options from brands like On and Diadora (when they’re on sale). There aren’t too many options at the moment, but it’s a great chance to save some cash if you’ve been eyeing one of the speedier shoes in the Skechers lineup. You might also find that you have better luck with some apparel and gear deals from Holabird Sports if you can’t find a good discount on running shoes.
Skechers GoRun Razor Excess
USE: For faster runs with slightly more comfort than a traditional tempo shoe, can also be used as a lightweight daily trainer. Hyper Burst midsole is durable, bouncy, and still one of the best in the game.
WAS: $140 NOW: $84
Shop Skechers Razor Excess – Men Shop Skechers Razor Excess – WomenAPL Streamline
USE: High-end fashion shoe that actually is a pretty great running shoe. Still pretty pricey, but we were surprised at how much we really enjoyed this shoe.

Shop APL Streamline – Men Shop Skechers Speed Elite – WomenBrooks Launch 9
USE: The perennial $100 shoe is now back to $100. Lightweight daily trainer that can handle tempo runs (we’ve even used it for a marathon in the past).
WAS: $110 NOW: $99
Shop Brooks Launch 9 – Men Shop Brooks Launch 9 – WomenNike running shoe deals
Now we’re getting into the specifics. Running Warehouse and Holabird Sports are great for a little bit of everything, but sometimes your best bet is to go straight to a brand itself. Right now, Nike is the perfect example. The arrival of the Alphafly Next% 2 means a few of the OG colorways are cut down to much friendlier prices. There are also some price differences between the men’s shoes and women’s shoes, which isn’t something we usually see.
Alphafly Next% Ekiden Edition
USE: Absolutely crushing it on race day (and saving your legs in the process)
WAS: $285 NOW: $205 + Extra 20% off with code SCORE20
Shop Nike Alphafly EkidenPegasus Trail 3 Gore-Tex
WAS: $160 NOW: $110 (Men’s) $145 (Women’s)
Shop Nike Pegasus Trail 3 GTX – Men Shop Nike Pegasus Trail 3 GTX – WomenZoomX Invincible
USE: This is a love-it or hate-it shoe, but those who love it, REALLY love it. Insanely bouncy and provide a ton of comfort with the same midsole foam used in the Vaporfly and Alphafly.
WAS: $180 NOW: $125 (Men’s) $171 (Women’s)
Shop Nike ZoomX Invincible – Men Shop Nike ZoomX Invincible – WomenAdidas running shoe deals
Adidas is like Nike in that it’s your best bet if you’re trying to live that Three Stripes lifestyle. There’s plenty to choose from, with somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-100 items on sale for both men and women, and that’s only counting shoes. You’re getting the same options on both sides for the most part, though the Takumi Sen 8 mentioned below only comes in men’s sizing. If you’re lucky, you might also be able to stack the savings with a promo code.
Takumi Sen 8
USE: One of the best running shoes of the past year, hands down. Bouncy, responsive, fast as hell. Meant for tempo runs but can be used for daily training miles if needed.
WAS: $180 NOW: $108
Shop Takumi Sen 8 – MenParley X AdiZero
USE: Environmentally-conscious shoe with Lightstrike midsole. Yarn in upper contains at least 50% Parley Ocean Plastic and 50% recycled polyester.

New Balance isn’t exactly loaded up on deals at the moment but just wait. There are bound to be plenty of back-to-school deals in the coming weeks, which could chop a few bucks off of some sweet, sweet Fresh Foam X if you’re lucky. In the meantime, it’s a good time to grab a new pair of marshmallows for your feet in the form of the Fresh Foam More v3. It’s probably a hint that version four is around the corner, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
Fresh Foam More v3
USE: Max comfort for long miles or daily training. Truly one of the most comfortable shoes out there.
WAS: $165 NOW: $155
