Brooks is one of the best sneaker brands, and there just so happens to be tons of discounts on its running and walking shoes for Amazon’s October Prime Day (Oct. 6–7) right now. While I sifted through the best walking shoes on sale, I found discounted Brooks sneakers that were top performers in our tests in the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab.

THE DEAL: Take 27% off our pick for the best overall walking shoe, the Brooks Ghost 17. The newest iteration, the Ghost 18, is only 8% off.

WHY WE LOVE THEM: Our footwear experts and consumer testers have loved all the sneakers in Brooks’ Ghost collection for running and walking due to their lightweight design, cushioning, arch support, stability, and comfortable heel.

The Ghost 18 even features more cushioning and a flat tongue designed to prevent rubbing and chafing. “Even after walking over 10 miles in this pair, my feet are still pain-free,” said Emma Seymour, Associate Director of the Textiles Lab. We also love that the sneaker has a large size range with four widths to choose from.

THE DEAL: Save your joints and save $30 on this stable running sneaker our footwear experts recommend.

WHY WE LOVE THEM: Cushioning and arch support are important for running shoes, but all that foam mustn’t sacrifice stability. Our testers found the Adrenaline GTS 25 sneakers kept their feet incredibly stable while running and walking. This, paired with the ample cushioning and a high heel-to-toe drop (12 mm), makes for a sneaker that helps reduce knee, foot, hip, and ankle pain.

"When I was experiencing foot pain, I relied on my pair of the Adrenaline GTS 23 (a previous version), which offered snug support throughout the shoe and was even comfortable during long distances," Seymour said.

THE DEAL: Take 22% off these forward-pushing running sneakers.

WHY WE LOVE THEM: Our consumer testers gave high scores for cushioning, fit, and traction for a previous version of the Glycerin 23. “It feels easier to run in these shoes, like they're helping to propel me forward and aren't dragging me down,” one tester shared. Another agreed that the sneaker had “good forward motion.” And while the sneaker has ample cushioning, the silhouette isn’t too bulky.

Superb Cushioning

THE DEAL: For more cushioning in the Brooks Ghost sneaker design, save 35% with the Ghost Max.

WHY WE LOVE THEM: For all the reasons we love the Brooks Ghost collection sneakers, the Ghost Max has similar features, with one main difference: more cushioning. The brand claims the midsole foam is infused with nitrogen for a soft foam that feels smooth as you run and provides cushioning with each strike of the foot. There’s also the brand’s GlideRoll Rocker transition technology, which promotes smoother heel-to-toe transitions as you run.

THE DEAL: Take 25% off these extra-cushioned running sneakers.

WHY WE LOVE THEM: One of our editors who tried the previous version of this sneaker said she originally thought they were too cushioned, but then said, “I quickly began to love the added cushion, especially on days when I run and then have to be on my feet for multiple hours.” The Glycerin Max 2 has a breathable mesh upper to help your sweaty feet on long runs and superb cushioning, which is ideal for running, long walks, and anyone who’s on their feet all day. Plus, they come in 14 colorways, including a bright blue and pretty purple that’ll make you stand out in a race.

THE DEAL: Run fast with these sneakers (that are 36% off) designed to spring you forward.

WHY WE LOVE IT: Our footwear experts think Brooks’ Hyperion sneaker line is worthwhile for runners training for long races like a marathon or those who want to beat their personal record. The sneaker is designed for speed, offering a lightweight feel, a springy responsiveness, and a carbon fiber plate to propel you forward. It also has a secure upper, great cushioning for absorbing impact, and a breathable design.
