I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day sneaker deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months.

Salomon Men’s XA Pro 3D Trail Running Shoe

4.4-star average rating from 9,217 reviews on Amazon

These trail running shoes are great for mixed terrain trails because they provide stability and support on all trails. That’s because they have moderate cushioning, a water-resistant exterior and a lug pattern on the outsole. 79% of reviewers say these sneakers run true to size, and the brand currently offers 14 sizes, according to Salomon. 

New Balance Women’s 877 Walking Shoe

4.3-star average rating from 7,135 reviews on Amazon

New Balance makes some of our favorite women’s walking shoes, including this pair. Many reviewers enjoy that the 877 has a wide toe box, providing plenty of room for their wider feet or thicker socks. They also say they’re extremely comfortable, and their feet don’t ache or hurt after and during long walks. 

Adidas Men’s Ultraboost

4.5-star average rating from 942 reviews on Amazon

Adidas Ultraboosts are my favorite shoes because they are incredibly comfortable and perfect for all workouts, including walking, running and strength training. These sneakers, which are available in men’s and women’s sizing, have a supportive upper, durable outsole and plush yet sturdy interior, which means you can keep working out for longer periods of time.

Mizuno Women’s Wave Rider 26 Running Shoe

4.5-star average rating from 473 reviews on Amazon

These high-energy return sneakers use the brand’s built-in plate, which uses energy from impact to dispense it across the shoe, which helps propel you forward so you can run with ease, according to the brand. Reviewers say these are great for daily runs and leisurely walking and are very durable.

New Balance Men’s Fresh Foam Arishi V4 Running Shoe

4.4-star average rating from 5,206 reviews on Amazon

These versatile men’s running shoes are lightweight, breathable and have plenty of cushioning for all-day comfort as you walk or run, according to the brand. Available in standard and wide sizing, these sneakers run true to size and are great for those with average arch height, foot height and heel width, according to New Balance. 

 New Balance Women’s 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer

4.5-star average rating from 36,413 reviews on Amazon

Reviewers say these sneakers provide excellent arch support and are a great solution for many of their common foot problems. The Comfort Cross Trainers have very soft cushioning, an impact-absorbent heel crash pad and midsole. There’s also minimal seaming in its interior to reduce and minimize any irritation when wearing them, according to the brand. 

Saucony Men’s Kinvara 14 Sneaker

4.2-star average rating from 587 reviews on Amazon

These running shoes feel lightweight, and to enhance more effortless movement, they have a newly designed rocker so that you can rebound and propel forward quickly, according to the brand. This sneaker is also available in wide sizing.

Asics Women’s Gel-Venture 8 Running Shoes

4.4-star average rating from 21,747 reviews on Amazon

Reviewers say these women’s running shoes prevent their feet from feeling fatigued and are the ideal shoe weight for running — lightweight and not too heavy for long distances or sprints.

Under Armour Men’s Charged Assert 9 Running Shoe

4.6-star average rating from 60,995 reviews on Amazon

Under Armour’s Charged Assert sneaker has shock-absorbent cushioning in its interior. Because of this, reviewers say this pair is great for all workouts, including weight training and running.

Adidas Women’s Cloudfoam Sneaker

4.2-star average rating from 673 reviews on Amazon

Whether taking a stroll or logging multiple miles and steps, my favorite and most durable pair of walking sneakers are these Cloudfoam sneakers because my feet never hurt when wearing them. They’re stretchy, flexible and, most importantly, comfortable.

New Balance Men’s 237 V1 Sneaker

4.5-star average rating from 3,214 reviews on Amazon

Lowest price ever

These sneakers balance walking and lifestyle shoes—they offer high comfortability but with a modern yet vintage style. These unisex shoes (I have them in women’s sizing) are best for quick errands, regardless of the distance and weather, because they’re soft and durable. The suede exterior is easy to clean; I only have to throw them in the washing machine, and they look barely worn.
