It’s the time of year to set new fitness goals, and that often means upgrading your kit to keep up with you. If you’re looking for new sneakers, you’ve come to the right place — I review some of the best running shoes for a living, and my go-to easy running shoe from Brooks just went on sale.

The Brooks Ghost 16 is one of the most popular running shoes around, and right now it’s on sale for $89 on Amazon. The discount is applicable on the beautiful neutral and all-white color, and at the time of writing, there are still plenty of sizes available — grab this one while you can.

The biggest saving right now is on the men’s shoe, which is discounted to $89 in grey. The women’s shoe is also on sale for $99 in an on-trend neutral color, as well as two white colors for those who prefer to wear white sneakers in the gym.

The Brooks Ghost line is a staple, comfortable, everyday running shoe, well-suited to beginners and more experienced runners alike. The Ghost 16 is a major update on the Brooks Ghost 15, with an all-new midsole foam made from the DNA Loft v3 material used in the Brooks Glycerin 21.

Sure, this shoe isn’t the most exciting running shoe on the market, but it ticks all the right boxes — it’s plush underfoot, it’s supportive, and it’ll keep you comfortable, whether you’re training for your first race, upping your walking workouts, or just on your feet all day.

Don’t just take my word for it. In our Brooks Ghost 16 review, Tom’s Guide’s resident shoe expert and 2:25 marathon runner Nick Harris-Fry wrote, “The mix of comfort and versatility mean that the Ghost 16 would be a good option for new runners in particular — it will protect your body from the impact of running and it’s a bit cheaper than many cushioned shoes, including the Brooks Glycerin 21.”

At $89, you’re getting a fantastic shoe at a fantastic price. Grab this deal while you can!
