If you've put more than 300 to 500 miles on your athletic shoes, it's probably time for a replacement. And if you're ramping up training for a fall race, it's extra important to make sure that your sneakers are up to the challenge. After scouring the internet for secret sales, I'm here to report that right now is an especially great time to buy a new pair of running shoes — I'm seeing top-tested brands like Brooks, New Balance, and Hoka for up to 31% off.

As a former Division I track athlete and current marathoner, summer is one of my personal favorite (and most underrated) times to shop for sneakers. That's because most brands will mark down their best-selling models in spring and summer to get rid of old inventory and make room for new sneaker drops. Not to mention, Prime Day sales are right around the corner, so Amazon is ramping up its shoe sales right now.

Wondering which shoes are worth the investment? I created this list of the best running shoe deals using insights from the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab — where our experts assess factors like construction and support, and compile real-world feedback from consumer testers and staffers on comfort, fit, appearance and more.

According to Priya Parthasarathy, D.P.M., a podiatrist and partner at Foot and Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic, not only can the right shoes decrease your risk of injury, they can also enhance your performance — while the wrong shoes may cause blisters, increased foot strain and knee, hip or back pain.

First, Emma Seymour, associate director of the GH Institute Textiles Lab suggests opting for running shoes with generous return policies so you can try the shoes on at home or on a treadmill to determine if they're comfortable for you. She also recommends keeping comfort top-of-mind; you should be able to wiggle your toes to ensure there’s enough room in the toe box — about half an inch. Keep in mind that feet tend to swell a bit as you walk or run, so don't be afraid to size up if needed.
