Brooks, New Balance and More Are Up to 70% Off During Zappos’ Big Spring Sale—Shop Editor Picks

Spring calls for us to take inventory of what we have and what we might need before heading into the warmer seasons. And if you’re anything like me, one of the first things I think of to refresh are my shoes. Whether it’s my athletic shoes or my lounge shoes, I am always taking stock this time of year. 

It’s not often that big sales align with the perfect time for a closet refresh. But, thankfully, Zappos heeded the call with its massive Big Spring Sale. We found so many incredible brands hiding among the deals, including so many editor-loved items (and items on our wishlist). Shop all of our favorite picks below, including Brooks sneakers, comfy slides and slip-on Skechers, on sale right now up to 70% off. You’ll want to hurry, though—deals end April 21.

Athletic Propulsion Labs Big Logo Techloom Slide

“These are, hands down, the most comfortable and supportive slides that I've ever owned,” says News, Trending & Updates Editor Abby Abesamis Demarest. “I always have a pair that I wear around my house at all times, and a pair that I wear out. They are expensive, though, and you're not going to find a better deal than this one. I'm currently on pair six and seven of these, and will definitely be stocking up.” 

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22

These Adrenaline GTS 22 sneakers are a longtime favorite of Assistant General Manager Penelope Wall for all things running and walking. They started out as her perfect shoe for half marathons years ago, after a sales associate at a shoe store recommended them to relieve some achilles tendon pain. Now, they’re her perfect walking shoe thanks to their continued support and comfortable cushion. 

Reedbok DMX Comfort +

“The Reebok DMX Comfort sneaks are on sale, and when I tell you these are my current favorite walking pad sneakers, I mean it,” Dani DeAngelis, associate news and trending editor, says. “I've written before about how they're unexpectedly waterproof, but let me emphasize about their other amazing qualities. They're so cute, for starters. The amount of compliments I get on these is beyond average. Plus, they're comfy and durable, meaning my feet are never a worry on long walks indoors and outdoors.”

Bogs Classic II Tall Ikat

“I think spring is a great time to score on boots,” says Wall. “Our family loves Bogs because they're great year round as a rain boot in the summer and are warm enough to get us through cold Vermont winters.” These tall burgundy boots are Wall’s current on-sale pick, though you’ll find heaps more from the brand at a discount right here. 

New Balance FuelCell Trainer v2

“I'm in desperate need of a new shoe for the gym—mostly weightlifting and a little bit of HIIT-style conditioning at times,” says Senior Commerce Editor Brierley Horton. “These New Balances have really great reviews and I already own a pair of New Balance tennis shoes (the Coco Gauff ones!) that I love, so I'm bought into the brand.”

Skechers Martha Stewart Ultra Flex 3.0 - Neptune Hands Free Slip-Ins

Carolyn Malcoun, associate editorial director, tried these Martha Stewart and Skechers collab sneakers as soon as they came out. She fell in love with their comfort and design, since you can just slide your foot right in. There’s still enough comfort and support, plus the chic design makes them an extra-great pick in her eyes. Shop them in every color on sale right now. 

Brooks Ghost 15

Both Editorial Director Victoria Seaver and I swear by our original Ghost 14 sneakers, and this updated version is another must-buy. They still have the support Seaver and I swear by—she loves the shoes for her neighborhood walks, since they help prevent any body pain from walking on the hard pavement. I love their lightweight design for running, since they provide just the right amount of support while maintaining a barely-there feel on my feet. The shoes have been updated a bit for even better cushioning and a more seamless upper. 

Brooks Glycerin GTS 20

After testing a wide variety of running shoes on the market, the Brooks Glycerin GTS 20 ranked as our absolute favorite pick of all. That’s because of how incredibly versatile its design is. It has a neutral support, with a nice cushioned sole that never gets in the way. The grippy traction on the sole allows us to use it on a variety of terrains, whether it’s outside or on a gym floor. They’re currently on sale at Zappos right now, so score them where you can. 

On Women's Cloud X 3

I’ve recently acquired a pair of On’s sneakers (the brand sent samples to try), and I am loving their unique and lightweight design. The shoes from this brand are different from the ones currently in my collection, as they all feature a unique soles pattern that has openings, or holes. This keeps the shoe lightweight and airy. The Cloud X 3 is a popular pick among shoppers for their breathable, lightweight, cushy and durable design. Shop a few shades on sale now, starting at $112.
