Whether you're training for an autumn marathon or just logging a few miles around your neighbourhood, now's the time to kick out of your old running shoes and throw on a new pair. And thankfully, the right pair of running shoes doesn’t need to cost an arm and a leg. We've found plenty of deals on editor-approved road and trail favourites this August from brands including Nike, Hoka, Adidas and more.
That's right, we don't recommend any old running shoes on sale. The options below are all trainers that we have personally tested and genuinely rate, so you know that you'll be spending your money wisely.
Best women's road running shoe deals
Hit the road running with sales from Saucony and Hoka. That includes 30% off the Hoka Mach 6, which senior writer Rachel Boswell tested. She described it as that ‘annoying but amazing person you know who is good at everything’. In the world of running shoes, it is a solid all-rounder – a trusty companion on anything from a short loop around the block to a Sunday long run, or an easy effort to intervals.
What everyone's reading
If you're after max-cushioning, the Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 has also slipped to less than £130, a tidy saving of £55! The midsole features a hefty wedge of FlyteFoam Blast+ foam, and it’s paired with a layer of Pure Gel in the heel; together, these materials generously cushion each footfall and create a very plush, running-on-marshmallows sensation.

Best men's road running shoe deals
On the men's side, you can score 33% off the Mizuno Neo Vista, a bouncy and surprisingly light shoe that helps you glide through the miles, making it a great pick for long runs. The Neo Vista stands tall with 44.5mm of Mizuno’s EVA-based Enerzy NXT foam in the heel and 36.5mm in the forefoot, creating a nearly bottomless feeling underfoot.
For overpronators, take 20% off the Saucony Guide 18 with a wide, stable base, raised sidewalls and slight rocker geometry. A great daily trainer.
Best women's trail running shoe deals
Looking to hit the trails? The North Face's Altamesa 300 is a bargain at just £66. An everyday trail shoe, the reinforced internal heel counter offers rear-foot stability, while the padded collar and heel cup deliver exceptional comfort and lockdown.
Or, save 21% on the brand new New Balance Fresh Foam X Hierro v9. I ran a 100km ultramarathon in these back in June and can't rave enough about their blister-free comfort if you're spending several hours on your feet. An excellent option if you're tackling longer distances.
Best men's trail running shoe deals
On the men's side, the Hierro v9 is also on discount. Or snap up a pair of the Hoka Challenger 7s for less than £100. This is one of the best all-terrain shoes going, impressing our testers with how well it could handle both trail and road sections.
