Max-cushioned running shoes are some of the most popular styles because they're so comfortable, and most have energy-returning foam that helps you keep that forward momentum. But they're not the cheapest.

Fortunately, there are loads of early Black Friday deals on cushioned running shoes around right now, like on the New Balance Fresh Foam X More V5 which are almost half price at Amazon. To save your feet and bank balance, I've rounded up my favorite running shoe deals with some impressive discounts.
