New Balance Men’s Fresh Foam X 1080 V14 Shoes

One of New Balance’s most cushiest sneakers, the Fresh Foam X 1080 V14 Shoe is made for running, but it’s a solid shoe for everyday wear, too. Its outsole is treated with extra rubber in high wear areas to make it even more durable. The sneaker is also designed with a forefoot rocker that propels you forward into your next step, and a jacquard mesh upper that makes it really breathable, so it packs all-day comfort, too. Over eight fun colorways of this shoe are currently on sale. 

New Balance Women’s 574 Core Sneaker

There isn’t anything overly technical about New Balance’s 574 sneaker, like what you would find in some of the brand’s sportier and flashier styles, but its practical design is what makes it a great walking shoe. It packs just the right amount of cushioning in the midsole and heel, softening each step without weighing the shoe down. Plus, the ridges along the bottom offer traction on city streets and trails, and its wider build makes it comfortable to wear on all kinds of feet. Now 30 percent off, you can grab it for just $70. 

New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam X 1080 V14 Shoes

The women’s version of the New Balance Fresh Foam X 1080 V14 Shoe is a bit lighter and narrower than the men’s, but it’s still built with the same thick cushioning and breathable upper. Like the men’s shoe, the sneaker also features a gusseted tongue to help keep debris out, and its EVA foam delivers a cloud-like plush feel. There are a few colors on sale, but this black and white pair is one of the best deals you’ll find. 

New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam 680 V8 Running Shoe

If you have space for only one pair of shoes in your carry-on, make it the Fresh Foam 680v8. Made for everyday wear, this New Balance shoe can handle daily runs, walking tours, trips to the airport, gym sessions, and more. Shoppers also call it the perfect walking shoe, with one reviewer writing that they comfortably walked 98 miles in just about 2.5 weeks while wearing the 680.

New Balance Women’s 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer

A stylish “dad shoe,” the New Balance 608 V5 cross trainer sneaker is designed with a special cushioned midsole that absorbs impact without losing its plushness or shape over time. It’s also made with New Balance’s “phantom liner,” which gives the inside of the shoe a smooth feel—no need to worry about seams irritating your skin. The sneaker’s slightly higher rise provides some extra stability near the ankle. Now 18 percent off, you can grab it for just $65. 

New Balance 530

Now at their lowest price in 30 days, the New Balance 530s are streetwear cool—the perfect casual shoes to wear with your travel loungewear or other laid-back clothing. The mesh upper makes the shoe extremely breathable, but its contrasting color also adds a unique style element to it, too. One shopper calls them the most comfortable shoes they’ve ever worn, writing that they’re also great for travel. “They are the best for walking, particularly if you’re going on a trip and will be walking and visiting a lot.” 

New Balance Fresh Foam X Cruz v3

If you’re looking for a lightweight shoe you can wear everywhere—from the gym to grabbing drinks with some friends—the Fresh Foam X Cruz is it. It’s made with a removable padded footbed to soften each step, a roomy round toe, and a mesh upper that keeps airflow moving through the shoe. It also features a slip-on design that makes it easy to take on and off, a lifesaver if TSA asks you to remove your shoes during the security screening process. This all-white pair goes with everything, but you can also grab a few other colors on sale. 

New Balance 9060

The 9060 is New Balance’s “it” shoe, which is why it’s rare to find a pair on sale. But you can grab these grey and pink shoes for 25 percent off. The shoe is inspired by design elements from the 2000s, which gives it a vintage yet futuristic feel reminiscent of that era. In addition to being stylish, the shoes are comfortable, too, thanks to their shock-absorbing cushioning and breathable mesh upper. Despite being chunky, shoppers call it a great walking shoe with one writing, “…took these for a spin on several hikes where they held up super well and made me feel like I was walking on clouds.” 

New Balance Unisex Adult Made in USA 990 V6 Sneakers

While these fashionable 990 V6 shoes feel like they make style a priority, they were actually designed for performance, specifically running. The sneaker is built with New Balance’s “FuelCell foam,” which pushes you forward into your next step to help you keep your momentum up with less energy. Cushioning in the midsole also makes these shoes comfortable enough for all-day wear, and reflective accents keep you visible at night. And now, over half off, you can grab them for under $100. 

New Balance 2002R

The suede and mesh material on the New Balance 2002R sneaker make it a fashionable choice, but its stability and comfort make it worth adding to your closet.

New Balance Gender Neutral 471 Sneaker

Retro yet still modern, the 471 sneaker was inspired by runners from the ‘70s, but made with a contemporary design that prioritizes comfort so you can wear it all day with no complaints. The shoe is made with a removable cushioned insole for convenience, and it’s less chunky than other New Balance sneakers, making it a breeze to pack into smaller bags, like weekenders. A truly versatile shoe, you can wear these sneakers on your next run or dress them up to pair with a business casual outfit—up to you. 

New Balance Men’s 997 Casual Sneakers

With their minimalist style and easy-to-slip-on design, despite being lace-up shoes, the New Balance 997 is the perfect everyday shoe. It’s low-key, cushy, and durable enough to handle endless miles of wear, whether you’re running errands or trekking your way through a seven-day multi-city tour. The suede and mesh combination in the upper also makes it appropriate for wear during all seasons, since it keeps your feet warm without overheating. At $75, they’re a total steal.
