Amazon has gone all-out for its extra-long Prime Day this year—so much so that it’s hard to know where to start. Our recommendation? The Prime Day sneakers sale. Savings on bestselling walking shoes, running shoes, cross trainers, and more slowly rolled out as part of the retailer’s early Prime Day deals. But as of today, Tuesday, July 8, there are simply too many options to count.
Now that Prime Day is officially underway, you can take your pick from markdowns on brands like Brooks, Asics, Puma, and Saucony. Or, if you want to save some time, let us do the legwork: You can scroll down and shop the very best of the sale right here.
There’s just one catch: The best deals are only available to Amazon Prime members. Sign up for a free 30-day trial now to make the most of the sale (and get fast and free shipping while you’re at it). Now, step right up to start shopping.
