It’s that time of year when many of us reset our fitness goals—and if that’s you, take a look at your sneakers. Supportive shoes aren’t optional; they’re essential.
Brooks has long been a favorite of our editors, and for good reason. The brand’s shoes consistently perform very well in our podiatrist-recommended walking and running shoe tests thanks to their responsive cushioning, arch support and structure for neutral gaits. Podiatrists agree: many Brooks styles carry the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance.
Here’s the best part: The brand is running a winter sale right now, making it a great time to kick off your New Year fitness routine in a pair that actually supports your feet. A wide selection of women’s and men’s sneakers is currently marked down. And in case you need another reason to consider a pair of Brooks sneakers or apparel, it backs its gear with a generous 90-day return policy, even if you’ve worn it. You can put Brooks’ shoes (or apparel) to the test for three full months and send them back if they’re not for you. So with that said, get shopping and be sure to check out the Glycerin 22 shoe, it’s an editor favorite, and the Catamount 4 shoe, which is $50 off!

Brooks Glycerin 22 Shoe
Brooks
“The Brooks Glycerin is my go-to running shoe. They have just the right amount of support and cushioning,” says Senior Editor Megan Ginsberg. “I have 194 miles on my current pair, so when it’s time to replace them, I’d love to snag a new, fun color like the sherbert, apricot and pink ones that are on sale right now!”
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 Shoe
Brooks
This model of Brooks shoes is one I frequently see at the gym. It’s consistently popular for its soft-cushioning support and works for both road running and walking. At just $100, this is a great time to purchase a pair—and all nine colors are on sale right now.
Brooks Caldera 8 Shoe, Women’s
Brooks
Here in the Deep South, winter is my favorite time of year to hit the trails. We don’t have any snow, and the snakes are hibernating, so I am seriously considering this pair of trail shoes. The tread looks ideal for both dry and wet trail conditions, and the misty blue, coconut and chateau color is calling to me.
Brooks Caldera 8 Shoe, Men’s
Brooks
The men’s version of this trail running shoe is also marked down, and there’s an ample supply of sizes and two different colors available: Choose between dusty olive, lime and oyster or black, blackened pearl and white.
Brooks Catamount 4 Shoe
Brooks
These trail running shoes are slightly lighter in weight than the Caldera 8—and they’re designed for all-terrain traction and uphill efficiency. They seem to be the pair with the largest markdown on the Brooks site, too. Take $50 the original price!
Brooks Convertible 2.0 Sports Bra
Brooks
“The convertible sports bra looks very cool because you can convert the back to work with whatever top you’re wearing,” says Penelope Wall, assistant general manager. “I started wearing sports bras with a clasp a couple of years ago, and I will never go back—no more struggling to pull them on and off, especially post run when you’re hot, tired and sweaty.”
Brooks Spark 5-Inch Short Tight
Brooks
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: This style of shorts is my absolute favorite for weightlifting. They don’t ride up my thighs, and the waistband doesn’t roll down—they stay perfectly in place throughout the entire workout.
