Asics Gel-Cumulus 27 (Women's)
Asics Gel-Cumulus 27 (Women's): was $140 now $89 at Amazon

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.

Nike Pegasus 41 Running Shoes (Women's)
Nike Pegasus 41 Running Shoes (Women's): was $140 now $116 at Amazon

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.
