Take it from us: this is your best chance at snagging a pair of these expert-approved shoes at a fraction of the normal price.

What makes Brooks so great? For starters, most of its sneakers are designed for runners, meaning they're made to withstand major mileage on the road, trail, and everything in between. That hardy construction includes cushioning that can come in handy on a run. Nelya Lobkova, DPM, a board-certified podiatrist and founder of Step Up Footcare, recommends Brooks especially if you have foot pain because they’re known for being both cushioned *and* supportive, making them doubly nice on muscles and joints. And it's not just Dr. Lobkova who gives Brooks the greenlight—multiple Brooks styles have the American Podiatric Medical Association seal of approval.
Whether you are looking for something more neutral and lightweight, or more stable and supportive, Brooks has dozens of models and styles to choose from on sale for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. As a bonus, if you spend $140 or more between November 23-27, you’ll get a free SPI Belt (normally $27), which is a nifty, lightweight running belt that holds your phone or keys. What’s more, all Brooks apparel is 25 percent off from now through November 27, including best-sellers like the Convertible Sports Bra (normally $60), which lets you switch between a racerback and over-the-shoulder strap style, and the Luxe Hoodie (normally $98), which is the ultimate cold-weather running companion.
So sprint, don't walk! The Brooks Black Friday event has some of the deepest discounts of the season.
