I was a long-distance runner in my heyday, and when I started my running journey, I spent hours researching the best running shoes. I was on the hunt for comfy and supportive sneakers that would ward away aches and pains, and after talking to more serious runners, I settled on a pair of Brooks. When I first put them on, I was amazed at how they propelled me forward with each step—and I’ve been a fan of Brooks ever since.
While I don’t run anymore, I can still appreciate a good walking shoe—and Brooks’ best shoe of all is on sale right now. The Brooks Ghost 16s are the brand’s most popular sneaker and are widely acclaimed by runners, podiatrists, and nurses alike. Take a quick peek at their five-star reviews, and you’ll find masses of shoppers comparing these sneakers to “walking on a cloud.” Thanks to the recent drop of the Brooks Ghost 17s, these sneakers just got put on rare sale in every single color.

Currently available in over 15 colors, these sneakers are sleek and easy to style. Whereas popular running shoes often have a chunky silhouette, this pair is relatively low-profile. Right now, you can snag a pair with classic, neutral color combinations or bold hues. In fact, even our go-to spring sneaker style is included in the sale: the all-white walking shoe.
These sneakers deliver on more than just style, though. A nurse practitioner previously told Travel + Leisure that these shoes are a “lifesaver” for work and travel, adding that they provide comfort and support for 10-hour days on her feet.
