Presidents Day deals on footwear you need to know about

Presidents Day deals on footwear you need to know about
We're finding the best deals for President's Day, getting some help from our partners at the Good Housekeeping Institute. Good Housekeeping has been testing products for over 125 years, so we really know what makes *** great product. Here's how their experts like Jessica Tic find the best stuff. We have *** team of deal finding experts that works around the clock and around the year to find the best deals on the best products at the best time. Here are some of the best things to buy ahead of President's Day. What tends to have the steepest savings is furniture and decor and large cleaning appliances, your dishwashers, your washing machines, and your dryers. You can actually go ahead and start shopping now because *** lot of retailers are already offering discounts. We checked and Wayfair, Home Depot, and Lowe's are all running President's Day sales right now. Wayfair sale runs through Tuesday. February 18, including deals like 70% off area rugs at Lowe's and Home Depot, select sales run through Wednesday, February 26. We found deals at both retailers on things like refrigerators, bathroom vanities, and home decor. But before you break out your wallet, no, there are some items you should hold off on buying. There are steeper savings to be found during other times of the year in *** couple of. The first is tech. So during Black Friday is when you're going to get those best tech deals. The second is kitchen gear, and Kitchen gear is best bought around Mother's Day. That is the time to buy your stand mixers, your air fryers, your countertop appliances. And what about mattresses? Mattresses are *** little bit tricky during President's Day. Some retailers and some brands are featuring sales on mattresses, but historically, the best time to shop for mattresses is Memorial Day. If you're making *** big purchase for your home, shop in store if you can. Jessica says you can often get bigger discounts on floor models of things like washers, dryers, dishwashers, even furniture.

Presidents Day deals on footwear you need to know about
Our friends over at Good Housekeeping say Presidents Day weekend is typically full of impressive savings, but you just have to know where to look.Unlike popular savings events like Prime Day and Black Friday, it might be harder to find deals on specific items you might be looking for. Say you’re a runner and looking for a new pair of sneakers for your training, or one of your goals for 2025 is to get 10,000 steps in a day. You might be wondering where to find deals on sneakers that are worth the investment. That’s where we come in. We’ve looked online for deals we could find on footwear and we also looked specifically for sneakers that are backed by product experts at our partners like Runner’s World and Women’s Health. Here’s what we were able to find. Running SneakersLet’s start with our friends over at Runner’s World. They’ve ranked the best running shoes for women and men. For women, Runner’s World ranked the Brooks Glycerin 21 as the best overall running shoe. They credited its soft midsole, comfy all-around fit and a brand new upper that breathes better than past versions. As of this writing, you can save $30 on this sneaker over at Brooks’ website. Another option is the Saucony Ride 17. This was rated as the best value running shoe for women by Runner’s World. They said it has a comfy overall fit and more outsole coverage for more durability, though some testers did report stiffness. As of this writing, you can save $35 on this sneaker at Saucony’s website.Let’s talk guys now. Runner’s World gave the Hoka Mach 6 top-billing as best overall running shoe for men, crediting the sneaker's thick, responsive cushioning and how lightweight it is. As of this writing, you can save nearly $30 on select styles of this sneaker at Hoka’s website.Last but not least, Runner’s World rated On’s Cloudeclipse sneaker as best for long runs because of its thick and bouncy midsole. As of this writing, you can save $55 on this sneaker at On’s website.Walking SneakersTurning our attention to walking shoes, we turned to our partners at Prevention who’ve documented the best walking shoes for multiple brands. From Nike, they ranked the Nike Motiva sneakers as the best overall walking shoe from the Swoosh brand. Prevention said the shoes are designed to withstand long walks and its unique “ComfortGroove” outsole minimizes strain to stave off achy joints and keep you stable when walking.

As of this writing, the sneakers are seeing up to a 30% discount on select styles on Nike’s website. For the guys, Men’s Health recommends these Project Rock Under Armour sneakers as the most versatile for training.
