19 running shoes to get a head start on summer — up to 49% off Hoka, Nike and Asics shoes

The Asics Gel-Venture 11 are designed for everyday runs! They have Amplifoam Plus midsole cushioning on board, and a 2mm higher stack height — 2mm of extra softness to absorb impact and keep you comfortable for hours.

Suited for both fast runs and everyday training, the Asics Sonicblast are super lightweight and propulsive. There's an Astroplate mechanism to help you shoot forward as well as FF Blast Max and FF Turbo cushioning for a bouncy feel underfoot.

The excellent Gel Kayano 32 have been discounted to $124. These running shoes are designed to provide advanced stability and soft cushioning for neutral runners and overpronators alike. I love how they're lightweight yet provide excellent cushioning and support. In our Asics Gel-Kayano 32 review, we called the Editor's Choice shoe the most comfortable running shoes ever.

The Tide 2 is all about comfort for your everyday. It has soft, springy foam to make every step feel cushioned, a flexible plate to give you a little bounce and move with ease, and a breathable mesh upper to keep your feet cool. Basically, it’s perfect for walking, running errands, or just being on your feet all day without feeling sore.

The Saucony Hurricane 24 uses PWRRUN+ foam, which cushions your feet while still feeling springy. With a wide base and rocker design, it offers a stable and comfortable ride for longer or easy runs. The breathable mesh upper fits securely without being tight.

The Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 is a carbon plate running shoe built for fast training runs and races. It’s been reduced now following the launch of the Endorphin Pro 5, and given that the Pro 4 has a similar design to the new shoe, this deal is worth grabbing if you’re in the market for a racing shoe right now.

Suitable for all genders, this Hoka Elevon 2 TS is now on sale for just over $100. With max cushioned midsoles and a lightweight mesh upper, it's built for walks and everyday running, with a super-cool style that matches well with casual outfits and running gear.

Multiple colors of the Mach 6 are reduced with a good range of sizes still available. This is one of our favorite running shoes thanks to the versatile ride of the shoe that delivers both comfort and speed for training runs, and even races.

You can pick up the Hoka Speedgoat 6 for just $108 in the latest Hoka sale. It's a great price for an excellent trail-running shoe that grips well and is comfortable on almost any terrain.

The Hoka Challenger 8 is great for its versatility, because it grips well on both roads and light trails, and is comfortable for runs of any distance. It's also a great hiking shoe and can be worn before, during and after your runs.

The Adidas Ultrarun 5 Running Shoes make longer runs feel easier on your feet. The Bounce 2.0 midsole cushions your heel and forefoot, while the OrthoLite sockliner keeps everything snug so nothing slips or rubs. It ain't bad when they're on sale, too.

These Adidas running shoes look super sleek in all-white. With Dreamstrike EVA midsole cushioning, they'll reduce impact on your feet to keep you running for longer without discomfort.

The Adidas Adizero Evo SL is over a year old and so does now appear in sales quite regularly, but even at its full price of $150 it's a steal thanks to its lightweight design and versatile ride. Our Senior Fitness Writer, Nick Harris-Fry, wrote: "It remains one of my favorite running shoes over 12 months after I initially tested it."

Despite their budget-friendly price, the New Balance 460 V4 are packed with soft cushioning and feature a supportive design. Reviewers on Amazon rave about how comfortable these shoes are.

The New Balance 1080v14 are a previous candidate on our list of the best running shoes. We gave a 4-star rating in our New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080v14 review, saying that this is a cushioned daily trainer that offers a great balance of comfort and weight.

If you want a shoe that feels like it gives you a zesty boost, the New Balance FuelCell SuperComp Trainer v3 is a great pick. Its carbon fiber plate adds extra spring, perfect for speed workouts and race days.

These Nike road runners are on sale starting from just $59, which is a steal. They're packed with cushioning, have a breathable mesh upper and a flexible outsole.

The Pegasus 41 is Nike's popular daily trainer, and the 41st version of the shoe is our favorite yet. The new ReactX midsole and higher stack on the Pegasus 41 give it a softer ride than its predecessors, but it’s not so squishy underfoot as to be unstable in any way. It’s a balanced midsole that is comfortable for easy and long runs, but has a little bounce to it when you want to up the pace. Read our full Nike Pegasus 41 review here to find out more.

The Nike Vomero 18 is a max-cushioned cruiser that's ideal for protecting the body on long and easy runs. It's plush, comfortable and stable. The shoe is pretty heavy, but if you're looking for plush, sink-in comfort, this one ticks that box.
