Fall is in the air which means holiday shopping is right around the corner. While there are plenty of great gift ideas for runners out there, nothing tops the right pair of shoes. That said, never pay full price for the shoes you want the most. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals starting earlier and lasting longer, you won’t have to.

And the sheer variety of shoes that are on sale is pretty impressive too. You can take up to 42% off a new pair of sneakers or a whopping 55% off hiking boots —and if your plans skew more indoorsy, there are cozy slippers on sale for up to 44% off.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS are still a couple of weeks away, but the sales are already coming in hot. Among said deals: Brooks, which has a bunch of serious steals on some of our favorite running shoe models across Amazon and Zappos.

Hoka makes some of the best running shoes available, and the Black Friday deals this year actually include one of my favorite new shoes of 2024 in the Hoka Mach 6, which is reduced from $140 to $111, as well as popular models like the Speedgoat 5 and Bondi 8.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are without a doubt the best days of the year for sales. I should know — I write about sales all year long. Many retailers offer a 20 percent off discount here and there throughout the year,

The time leading up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday is one of them. In fact, some of our favorite mattresses from big-name brands—including Saatva, Avocado, Nectar and more—are already deeply discounted up to 30 percent off.
