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, you can spend under $80 on Nike’s website. If you typically have long walking days, Prevention recommends the Nike InfinityRN 4. Experts say the extra cushioning in the midsole reduces fatigue and it remains stable despite the maximum cushioning. As of this writing, you can save up to 50% on select styles of the sneaker at Nordstrom.Prevention also tested walking shoes on concrete and they rated the Hoka Bondi 8 as the best overall shoe for walking on concrete, crediting its balanced cushioning and having the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance. As of this writing, you can save nearly $50 on select styles on Hoka’s website.If you’re walking on concrete for a long period of time, then Prevention recommends the Asics GEL-Nimbus sneaker. While Prevention recommends the Gel-Nimbus 25, there is a newer version we found that’s also seeing a sale at Zappos.As of this writing, you can save $50 on the Asics GEL-Nimbus 26 at Zappos. Training SneakersLast category we’ll look at is training-specific shoes. Think shoes you’d wear to the gym or a group fitness class. We turn to our partners at Men’s Health and Women’s Health for their picks. Both of them vouch for the Nike Free Metcon 6 sneakers. 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. They’re currently under $100 on Under Armour’s website.For the girls, Women’s Health says the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 sneakers are the most versatile sneaker they found in their testing. As of this writing, it’s seeing a 30% discount on Amazon.Lastly, the Reebok Nano X4 sneakers were rated as the best shoes for high-intensity interval training by Women’s Health. You can score a pair with a savings of $34 at Zappos.
