Finding a great pair of running shoes at a decent price shouldn’t depend on big sales moments alone. That’s why the Runner’s World team keeps tabs on the best running shoe deals all year round, and April is no exception. While it’s not traditionally one of the biggest discount months on the calendar, there are still plenty of worthwhile savings to be found if you know where to look. We’ve spotted strong offers on trusted brands including Brooks, New Balance and Asics, with some prices cut by up to 50%.

And these aren’t just throwaway markdowns on shoes not worth your time. Most of the pairs featured in this guide has been tested by the Runner’s World editors, so you can shop knowing they’ve earned our recommendation. One of the best ways to save is to stay open-minded: the biggest discounts are often found on older iterations or less in-demand colourways, even when the ride and performance are still excellent.
