With a new year comes new goals. And if running more is on your resolutions list, odds are you want to invest in a pair of quality running sneakers to get started. As an avid runner, I’m here to let you know that while it’s possible to hit the pavement in just about any sneaker, it’s essential to invest in a shoe made specifically for running. Doing so will provide comfort and prevent injury down the line.
If you’re not sure where to look, you’re in luck. Nordstrom is having a Half-Yearly Sale offering some of the best-selling sneakers for up to 56% off right now. But for a full rundown of your options, here are a few styles to consider.
For starters, a shoe like the Hoka Bondi X will give you maximum cushioning while delivering on style and stability—it’s perfect if your goal is to do more long runs. For those who want to get faster, try the Nike Superrep Go 3 Flyknit. It was designed to have an ultra-light feel that allows users to go fast during speed runs and track workouts.

On the flip side, the Brooks Glycerin Stealthfit 20 is a great choice if you enjoy quick 5k’s or recovery runs. For everyday street style, try the eco-friendly Adidas Ultraboost 1.0 DNA or Converse Chuck Taylor® All Star® 70 Lift High Top Platform Sneaker—both would look great with a hoodie and matching sweatpants.
And if you want a sneaker that can take you from the office to the gym, my favorite is the Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 40. These sneakers keep my feet comfortable all day, and I love how easy it is to dress up or down. It’s the everyday training shoe that I recommend to all my friends.
No matter what you’re shopping for, you’re sure to find a style that’s perfect for you. This sale won’t last long, so add them to your cart ASAP!
