Hoka, Brooks and Asics are on sale this weekend — here are my 29 top running shoe picks up to 50% off

They've since been replaced by a newer model, but if you don't mind not having the latest, these are some of the cheapest Asics shoes you'll find. The Gel-Venture 10 are excellent for trail runs, with a traction pattern designed to support you on outdoor terrain. They also feature Rearfoot GEL to absorb impact and super-soft AMPLIFOAM cushioning.

Packed with Amplifoam+ cushioning, the Asics Versablast 4 are built to be both soft and responsive — and are now a steal with this discount.

The Asics Gel-Venture 11 are designed for everyday runs and hitting the trails! 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.

At 54% off, the Asics Glideride are a steal. These come with GuideSole tech to help you save energy, keeping you going for longer. You also get FF Blast Max cushioning for a lightweight, soft feel.

The Asics Gel-Cumulus 27 often gets overlooked because of the popularity of the Novablast and Gel-Nimbus lines, but it's usually available for less than those shoes and it's a comfortable, fairly lightweight daily trainer in its own right. We've tested the newer Gel-Cumulus 28 model and it's not a major update on the 27, so this deal on the older shoe is much better value.

This discount on the Asics Gel-Pulse 17 running shoes brings their price well under $100! They're equipped with a mesh upper for breathability, responsive FF Blast cushioning and shock-absorbing rear gel.

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 Revel 8 is a budget-friendly running shoe that uses an older midsole foam than the top models in the Brooks line-up, but it's still comfortable and well-suited to shorter runs and gym workouts. It's just $84 on sale right now.

The Glycerin 22 is a comfortable daily trainer that uses Brooks' top DNA Tuned midsole foam. It's not the latest model of the shoe, but the Glycerin 23 is not a huge update and it costs $70 more at the moment, so grabbing this deal on the black color of the older shoe is a major saving.

The Ghost Max 3 is a more cushioned and rockered alternative to the Ghost 17, and I prefer the ride of the shoe myself to the classic Ghost. The Ghost Max 4 has just come out, meaning the Ghost Max 3 is reduced by $40, with almost all colors and sizes included in the sale.

The original Glycerin Max is not just $50 cheaper than the Glycerin Max 2 thanks to this deal, I also think it's better than the latest model because it's a bit lighter. This is the most cushioned model in the Brooks' line-up, and perfect for anyone who loves a comfortable running shoe.

The Brooks Hyperion Max 3 is a plated training shoe with a mega-stack of cushioning in its midsole, the top layer of which is made from a particularly springy PEBA material. It's a speedier option than shoes like the Glycerin and Ghost, and still comfortable for easy runs as well.

When it comes to running fast, carbon plate racers are the shoe to go for, but they're normally prohibitively expensive. Thanks to this $75 saving the Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 is under $200 in the Amazon sale. It's still not exactly cheap, but if you have PRs in mind, it will help get you there with its lightweight, propulsive design.

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 Clifton is the most popular Hoka running shoe for a reason. It’s the perfect place to start with the brand, offering a smooth, comfortable ride that will suit runners of all levels well. It also offers better value than Hoka's rivals, like the Bondi 9.

The Hoka Skyflow is a comfortable cushioned running shoe with a midsole made from a lightweight supercritical EVA foam. It's a protective shoe that's also quite versatile, and a good option for runners of all levels. The women's version is also on sale.

The Hoka Cielo X1 2.0 is a wildly fast carbon plate running shoe that has a very aggressive rocker and a springy midsole foam. It’s not stable, and it’s not a shoe I’d use regularly, but when it comes to your fastest workouts and key races the Cielo X1 2.0 will help you fly, and it’s been reduced by $83 in the Hoka sale.

Pick up a pair of New Balance cross trainers with a discount? Don’t mind if I do. No-sew construction and an adjustable lace closure makes for a snug fit. And, if you're worried they won't match your running gear, there are lots of different color options to choose from.

Whether you're running miles or just running errands, the Fresh Foam 680 v8 are a perfect fit – and that's thanks to the midsole foam cushioning, integrated rubber outsole and no-sew construction for a comfy fit and feel.

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.

The New Balance 1080v14 is a previous candidate on our list of the best running shoes. We gave it 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.

Big discounts on carbon plate racers are hard to find, so this $95 saving on the fastest shoe in the New Balance line-up is certainly eye-catching. It's not a shoe you'd use for your everyday runs, but if you're chasing PRs, the SC Elite v5 will help you get there.

These affordable running shoes are designed for new runners, but still provide everything you need out of a pair of runners. They have soft, responsive cushioning on board and stay secure on your feet.

Super cushioned and perfect for all kinds of workouts, these Nike shoes have dropped in price. They're designed to be stable and flexible and have a rubber wrap to keep your feet in place. Their simple style means they go with any kind of workout gear, too.

Featuring a lightweight mesh upper, full length Nike Air foam cushioning, and that signature rubber waffle outsole, these road running shoes are great for daily runners who prefer pounding pavements with plenty of padding underfoot. Elastic midsole support provides a secure, comfortable fit with a soft, springy stride.

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.

The Saucony Cohesion 14 were already budget-friendly at $75, but now you can get a pair for even less. Shoppers on Amazon love these shoes for their comfortable and supportive design, earning these a 4.1-star rating.

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.
