I’m training for a half-marathon — these Brooks sneakers, 30% off, are easing my foot pain

I didn’t always love running. Back in high school, even doing just one mile for my gym class final would make me feel anxious. But as an adult, I grew to enjoy seeing new neighborhoods and beating my personal records. And let’s face it: It’s a lot cheaper to go outside than to join a gym.

These days, I’m training for my second half-marathon but one thing I still don’t like about running is the occasional foot, ankle and knee pain. I tend to overpronate, which means my foot rolls in as I walk and run — but I’ve found a pair of Brooks sneakers that help keep me stable, and they’re 30% off at Amazon.

The supportive sneakers come in a wide range of colors. I went with this pink shade, but there’s also black and white, or bolder hues like hot pink or aqua.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

A good pair of running shoes should support your feet and ankles, provide cushioning without weighing you down and help propel you forward — but can cost $150+. The Brooks Adrenaline GTS usually rings in at $140, but right now it’s down to $100. For this quality, that’s a great deal — especially considering it could save you a trip to the podiatrist.

Why do I need these? 🤔

Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling running shoes are expert-approved. Professional marathon runners like Des Linden (the 2018 Boston Marathon winner) and Josh Kerr (the bronze medalist in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics men’s 1500m race) wear Brooks shoes. So it’s fair to say the brand makes really good running sneaks.
