I may say so myself, but I’m an expert on running and walking shoes. As WH’s Fitness Commerce Editor, I regularly walk half marathons every week for fun (I know, crazy) and test out different sneakers, reaching up to 60 miles a week. Simply put, I know how to find shoes that provide the best comfort, stability (responsible for keeping your foot in the correct position), and shock absorption (reducing impact on your joints). As a shopping writer, I too know a bargain when I see one. Today is Amazon Prime’s Big Deal Day, one of my favorite unofficial shopping holidays, and I found an incredible discount on Asics, the editor- and celebrity-loved running shoe (!).

Myself and the WH team love the brand’s signature cushioning, which allows us to easily walk miles in them without experiencing joint pain. What sets Asics apart from competitors like Hoka is its iconic gel technology. What is it? Unique foam in the heel absorbs shock. This accommodates walkers who tend to overpronate (rotate inwards) their feet. We were so impressed with this style that it was chosen for our roundup of the best running shoes for wide feet.
For fast walks and races, we recommend the Gel-Nimbus 24 (44% off!). It provides explosive rebound with each step, helping you increase your speed. If you’re looking for a sportier street-style shoe, look no further than the Gel-Quantum 180 (67% off!), which absorbs shock and turns heads. Plus, ASICS sneakers look super cute, and even A-listers like Jennifer Garner wear them. Earlier this year, Garner was spotted wearing Gel Kayano 29, which was 47% off (!).
why you should trust me
It’s no exaggeration to say that I’ve tested over 100 pairs of sneakers over my career. Whether it’s walking, running or lifestyle sneakers, I know what features to look for. Check out my credentials in my latest Lululemon Beyondfeel running shoe review. And ASICS and I go way back. The first time I wore Asics was during my high school cross country season. It was Gel-Cumulus 12. This was my first training shoe and I had good results. Now I wear Gel-1130 while walking, jogging, and looking stylish on the street.
