Running Shoe Bargains Worth Grabbing: 12 Deals for June 2023

Introduction

Retailers rotate stock fast, and that is good news if your timing is right. This roundup gathers twelve running shoes that were heavily discounted at the start of June 2023, from versatile daily trainers to top-line super shoes. A quick caution: if a deal online looks too good to be true, it probably is. Stick to established retailers, and remember that deep discounts often mean limited sizing, so act quickly.

Adidas Takumi Sen 9

At Sportsshoes, the Takumi Sen 9 is down to around £135, which is genuinely hard to beat for this shoe. It is low in weight and high on pace, durable enough for regular use, and light enough to serve as both a training and racing option. Plenty of colorways are available, with the red version arguably the standout. With the line still receiving fresh colorways, there is no sign of it being retired soon.

Adidas Adizero Boston 11

House of Fraser has the women’s Boston 11 down to roughly £70, which works out at about half the retail price with full sizing available. This version earned lots of positive feedback thanks to its dual-foam midsole and an improved, foot-hugging upper, and it delivers resilient cushioning underfoot. It is one of the tougher, heavier shoes in the lineup, but the traction is excellent and at this price it is an easy recommendation.

Nike Pegasus Turbo Next Nature

The black anthracite canyon purple and vivid purple version of the Pegasus Turbo Next Nature has dropped from £145 to just over £100. It is a great lightweight do-it-all shoe that many runners have enjoyed, and Nike keeps releasing new colorways of it, which is usually a sign of a successful model. For lighter-built runners, it makes a solid daily option, and at this price it feels much more appropriately costed than at full retail.

Nike ZoomX Vaporfly Next% 2

Select sizing of the Vaporfly Next% 2 in black hyper violet and football gray flash crimson is down to £112, an exceptional price for a top-line racer. This is the shoe in which a runner delivered one of the fastest marathons of all time, so it remains right up there on performance. Many consider it better than the recently released Next% 3, making it a superb tempo training shoe at half retail. Only UK sizes 8.5, 9, and 11 were left at the time of the deal, and oddly these pairs were not in Nike’s sales section, so search the site directly.

Adidas Adios Pro 3

Sportsshoes has the Adios Pro 3 in a newer bright red colorway down to £176 from the usual £225 UK retail price. That is still a significant outlay, but for a current-generation super shoe it makes the shoe noticeably more attainable. If it has been on your shortlist, this is a good window to pick it up.

Puma ForeverRun Nitro

Start Fitness has the ForeverRun Nitro in a range of colorways, from orange and black through to blue hues, down from £140 to £109. It is a really fantastic versatile model, and among the brightest shoes out there if you want something loud. Some of the related models on the site even include a free pair of socks, which softens the price further.

Puma Liberate Nitro 2

Also at Start Fitness, the Liberate Nitro 2 is £25 off, bringing it down to around £80. It is light and nimble, very value-friendly, and delivers better cushioning than the Adidas Adizero SL, plus slightly better lockdown over the top of the foot than the Pegasus Turbo Next Nature. If you want a lower-stacked midsole and a more pacey ride over shorter distances, this is a very well-rounded buy at well under £100.

Adidas Ultraboost Light

The deeper discounts on the Ultraboost Light continue, down to about £135 at Start Fitness with loads of colorways and sizes available. It is hard to see the appeal of paying full price elsewhere for the same shoe when this pricing exists. The lighter Boost material offers more reasonable resilient properties, making this a comfortable option for easy miles rather than fast work.

Saucony Endorphin Speed 3

Wiggle has the Endorphin Speed 3 in women’s sizing for about £124, roughly 25 percent off retail, though most colorways are limited to larger women’s sizes. This is a highly versatile shoe built around a nylon-plated, lower-weight foam midsole, an approach that works brilliantly for tempo days and long efforts alike. Small tweaks like swapping the insole or laces can tailor the fit further.

Asics Metaspeed Sky Plus and Metaspeed Edge Plus

Sportsshoes has the Metaspeed Sky and Edge series discounted to as low as £135, though those deepest cuts come with very select sizing. More broadly, plenty of the Sky Plus and Edge Plus models sit around £180, still a good £45 off retail. The Metaspeed series tends to be among the last super shoes to see discounts, so this is worth noting. The Sky Plus is one of the lightest race shoes available, with a nice wide forefoot base and a super low profile, and it suits lighter-built runners looking for maximum propulsion and rebound.

Nike Alphafly Next% 2 (Original)

For the original Alphafly Next%, resale platforms are the place to look, with prices as low as around £115, likely because buyers stockpiled pairs. Numerous listings also appear on eBay in the £130 to £140 range, some as dead stock that has never left the box, and eBay runs its own legitimacy checks. Buyers have generally had good experiences with authenticity on StockX, so both are reasonable routes if you want the original model.

Buying Advice

These bargains share a pattern: excellent models at strong discounts, but often with limited sizing. The best value depends on what you need. Daily mileage runners should look at the Boston 11 and Pegasus Turbo Next Nature. Tempo-focused runners get outstanding performance per pound from the Endorphin Speed 3, Takumi Sen 9, and Liberate Nitro 2. Racer buyers should prioritise the Vaporfly Next% 2 and Alphafly Next% 2 deals first, since those stocks disappear fastest.

Conclusion

June’s discounts cover the full range of running needs, from sub-£100 trainers to flagship super shoes at half retail. Move quickly on limited sizing, verify unfamiliar retailers before buying, and match the shoe to your actual training rather than the size of the discount.
