Summer can be a strange time for runners: with spring marathons done and autumn training blocks still on the horizon, the calendar can feel unusually quiet. But that doesn’t mean the running has to stop. If anything, it’s the perfect time to refresh your kit, with July often bringing some of the best discounts of the year as brands make space for upcoming autumn releases (not to mention, Amazon Prime Day, which runs from July 8-11).

As RW's chief gear editor, I've been busy scouring the sales to find the biggest savings on top-rated running shoes — from daily trainers to carbon-plated racers. Here are the best running shoe deals this month.

When it comes to trail running shoes, we've also spotted a handful of great deals. That includes 30% off the Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed. Asides from being sold on the Pink Fusion colourway alone, the Agravic Speed is an excellent lightweight and cushioned trail racer, designed for faster running on more groomed trails.

Or, if you live in a city where you have to navigate a fair bit of pavement before you get to the trails, the On Cloudsurfer Trail is a good bet for a quality road-to-trail option: now 23% off.

Adidas continues to dish out the deals on the men's side, too, thanks to the sports giant's Summer Sale. Take 30% off the Terrex Agravic 3 — a simple, all-rounder trail runner with a more classically firm ride.

Or scoop up a pair of the Hoka Speedgoat 6 for under £100. I took this shoe on a trail running holiday to the French Alps last year and it provided the perfect blend of cushioning, nimbleness and grip.
