Our fave podiatrist-approved sneakers are 40% off at Nike’s Black Friday sale

Share:

Attention shoppers, runners, walkers and all people who love a good Black Friday deal: Nike has slashed its prices on a ton of sneakers for Black Friday, and we’ve spotted deals of up to 60% off. (In this case, our advice is run, don’t walk, before the goodies sell out.)

The deal that we’re eyeing most, though? The mega sale on podiatrist-approved Nike AirZoom Pegasus 41s — which we dubbed the most comfortable women’s running shoe for everyday earlier this year. And it just so happens to be doubly marked down to $84 if you use the special code BFRIDAY.

Want to consider your options? This rare Nike discount is just one of many great Black Friday style deals, including plenty more on shoes.

A fancy pair of running shoes for less than $100 is hard to come by, but such is the magic of Black Friday.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

While you never want to compromise on high-quality sneakers, it’s no secret that Nikes are usually on the pricier side. These kicks are already marked down to $120 (from $140), but with the extra Black Friday coupon code, you can save an additional 30%. Who doesn’t love a double discount?

Why do I need this? 🤔

There’s a big reason we included this particular pair in our list of the best running shoes: They’re both podiatrist-approved and personal trainer-approved. According to Dr. Gregory Alvarez, a podiatrist at the Ankle & Foot Centers of America, these Nikes are “a versatile cushioned trainer with good responsiveness for regular mileage runs up to long distances.” Meanwhile, Andrew White, a certified personal trainer, recommends them to clients for daily training because they “offer consistent cushioning and support.”

Long story short? With ample arch support, breathable fabric and comfortable cushioning, these shoes will keep your feet nice and stable as soon as you finish tying those laces. Plus, they come in 18 colors and patterns (not all styles are on sale). This fun neon peach pattern is calling our name, but you can also grab them on sale in white, black, hot pink and more.

What reviewers say 💬

Nike fans can’t say enough good things about their AirZoom Pegagus 41s.

Pros 👍

“A great everyday runner for casual wear or for a quick 5-10 kilometer run,” explained a reviewer. “Plenty of spring in them and super comfortable and light.”

“I absolutely love them,” wrote another Nike customer. “Very comfortable around my feet and the cushioning gives me a lot of support, especially around my ankles, where I’ve had a lot of injuries in the past. Would highly recommend them to anyone who enjoys going for a run, whether it’s a long or short distance, this is the type of shoe that wants to get you moving 24/7.”

“These sneakers have been a game-changer,” shared a pro walker in their five-star review. “I’ve put over 1,000 miles on them and they’re still just as comfortable as day one.”

“My wife loves these sneakers,” shared a final fan. “She works two jobs and is on her feet most of the day. These sneakers allow her to do so without her feet hurting at the end of the day.”

Cons 👎

Even though they’re generally big fans, a couple of shoppers did note some areas for improvement.

“This is, personally, one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn,” explained a four-star reviewer. “However, my only criticism is that the upper mesh tends to fold in on the inner sides even when trying it on in the store. … Though it doesn’t impact functionality, it is aesthetically displeasing.”

Meanwhile, a reviewer had a bone to pick with the sound. “I absolutely love the comfort and rebound of this shoe,” they explained in their four-star review. “These are amazing. But literally after a month, the left shoe started squeaking, making a constantly loud popping sound every time I stepped on the heel.” (However, the reviewer still loved them so much that they bought a new pair.)
