10 Best Running Shoe Deals Under $110 Right Now

Introduction

Shoe inflation is real, and the old under-$100 deal list no longer works. Under $110 is the new realistic line, and right now it is full of genuinely great daily trainers from last year’s lineups as brands clear stock ahead of new versions. Every shoe here is a proven performer, not a leftover nobody wanted.

Why Now Is the Best Time to Buy Last Year’s Shoes

Brands turn over their entire lineups from top to bottom every year. ASICS releases the Nimbus every January, Saucony refreshes the Ride and Guide at the top of the year, and when the new model lands, the previous version drops sharply in price. That cycle is the whole reason this list exists: most of these shoes are a year old on paper but barely different to run in.

ASICS Gel Nimbus 26

The Gel Nimbus 26 is a solid, comfortable daily trainer that will last as many miles as you need. It sits in the same sturdy all-rounder camp as the Skyflow and Supernova Prima: not too soft, not too firm, with a Gel unit that makes heel landings genuinely comfortable. The hybrid ASICS grip is decent in the wet, and it does not firm up too badly in the cold, which makes it a strong winter workhorse for bigger runners and anyone logging relaxed miles.

The Paris colorway is still available on sale, and it honestly adds a point on its own. Expect to find it around $107 with membership app discount codes, or slightly above $110 without one.

Puma ForeverRun Nitro

This is the standout budget deal of the list. The ForeverRun Nitro balances cushion, support and comfort the same way the Nimbus does, with lots of bounce that approaches Supblast levels, plus race-derived foam similar to the MagMax. The outsole is excellent, which makes it a great winter pick, and an all-black colorway is available for the full murdered-out look.

At $65 at Dick’s Sporting Goods, this is the cheapest shoe here and arguably one of the best values in running right now. It handled a 12-mile double day with ease and encourages you to pick up the pace more than any other budget shoe on this list.

ASICS Novablast 4

One of the top daily trainers of the year, now discounted to $99 with membership app codes now that the Novablast 5 is out. It is a complete tank: super comfortable, good pop off the forefoot, and well suited to long runs, bigger runners, and anyone who wants a touch of stability.

The trade-off is traction. It is not great in the wet, and if you live somewhere rainy and plan serious marathon pace work, the ForeverRun Nitro is the smarter pick. For pure time-on-feet comfort at a four-hour-marathon distance, though, this is a banger.

Saucony Surge 3

The Surge 3 was $60 a few weeks ago and has since been raised to $75, presumably because word got out. It is still well under the $110 line. This is a max-cushion shoe in the Nimbus mold but even more robust: comfortable, cushioned, with good bounce, a protective ride, and a heavier build that is built for cruising at any relaxed pace.

If you are choosing between this and the ForeverRun Nitro, the Nitro is the faster, grippier shoe for anything race-pace, while the Surge 3 is the pure comfortable cruising pick.

Adidas Supernova Rise

An underrated comfort-oriented daily trainer that just got an upper-only update with the Rise 2, meaning the original is now discounted to $89 with discount codes. The upper was already near perfect for easy miles: padded tongue, cushioned, comfortable.

The midsole uses DreamStrike Plus foam with firmer EVA in the rearfoot for support, plus support rods designed to mimic the tendons of your feet. It is not a shoe for picking up the pace, but it is a great low-to-the-ground treadmill option if you dislike tall stacks on the belt.

New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v13

The 1080 v13 at $107 is one of the favorite shoes in this entire roundup, and for good reason: it is very soft but does not bottom out. It is the ultimate relaxed-mileage shoe, encouraging easy effort rather than pushing the pace, and it was a staple during high-mileage 100-mile training weeks.

It is also surprisingly durable. One pair logged 300 miles with the outsole still in decent shape, good traction, and foam that was not overly compressed. If your winter goal is stacking miles and building an aerobic base without thinking about pace, this is probably the best shoe on the list.

Nike Vomero 17

The Vomero 17 is a grinding, workmanlike shoe and easily a top-five workhorse of the 2020s. Lower to the ground than the 1080, still comfortable, with a ZoomX layer on top and a thick, hard, crunchy outsole that gives it its mileage-eating character. Put it on and all you want to do is run.

It is $102 with Nike’s discount code on Nike.com, and the stability version, the Nike Zoom Structure 25, can often be found under $100 as well.

Saucony Tempus OG

The deepest discount here with race foam involved: $70 on Sierra. The Tempus OG mixes race foam with training foam in a lightweight package around 259 to 278 grams, and despite being classified as a stability shoe, it is really just a fast, versatile banger. It goes slow when you want, goes fast when you need, and offers mild overpronation support without the bulk of heavier stability shoes.

The Tempus 2 is only an upper update on the same midsole and outsole, so the ride is identical. Choose the baby MagMax ForeverRun for grip and a pounding, workmanlike ride; choose the Tempus for lightness and glide.

Brooks Glycerin 21

The Glycerin 21 is a do-your-job shoe. It is not flashy, but one of the best-selling trainers in running for a reason: comfort, support, and DNA Lofts v3, one of the best training foams on the market, also found in the Ghost Max 2 and Adrenaline GTS 24. It will last hundreds of miles.

Like the Novablast 4, it is a great one-shoe marathon training option if you are building to 40 or 50 miles a week for the first time and do not want to manage a rotation. The deal at $106 was spotted at Dick’s Sporting Goods. The Glycerin 22 is a full rework with new DNA Tuned foam, which is exactly why this version is now discounted.

Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GTX

The closer is arguably the best shoe of the group on style alone: the bright pink Miami Vice-adjacent colorway of the Pegasus Trail 5 GTX. It is Nike’s best daily trainer of 2024, better than the standard Pegasus because it drops the odd Air Zoom unit in the forefoot and feels bouncier on well-tuned ReactX foam.

The outsole is great in the wet, the Gore-Tex upper is waterproof, and it handled an 18-mile double day comfortably. It firms up slightly in the cold but not badly if you put power down. At $90 on Nike.com, it is a genuine winter daily trainer that also works as casual wear. Note that Nike’s discounting is layered, with MSRP cuts stacked on top of extra code discounts, so never pay full price.

Overall Buying Advice

If you want the cheapest great shoe, the Puma ForeverRun Nitro at $65 is hard to beat. For pure relaxed mileage, the New Balance 1080 v13 and Saucony Surge 3 are the comfort picks. For a do-everything marathon trainer, look at the Novablast 4 or Glycerin 21. For grip and wet weather, the ForeverRun Nitro and Pegasus Trail 5 GTX lead the way, and for a fast lightweight option with race foam, the Tempus OG at $70 is remarkable value.

Conclusion

Almost every shoe on this list was a top-tier daily trainer at full price, and the only thing that has changed is the sticker. Match the shoe to the miles you actually run, and any of these ten will feel like far more than a discount pick.
