Summer clearance! I've spotted 11 epic shoe deals on New Balance, Hoka, On and more
With hundreds of footwear picks to choose from, I've narrowed it down to just 11 deals I'd recommend buying, ranging from top running sneakers, like On Cloudrift for just $119 to top summer support with a pair of Archies Flip Flops for just $32.
So, whether you're hitting the trails, hitting the beach, or even hitting the sofa for a night in, I've got you covered with prices starting from just $19. But hurry, some of the items I've picked are selling out fast.
It probably seems crazy to talk about heated anything during the summer months, but it's a great time to grab a bargain ready for later in the year. These battery heated slippers will keep your feet toasty during those cold winter nights (and days) and right now, they're half price! Three AA batteries is all you need to warm up the slippers and the thermal seal will make them last a lot longer, too.
A more summer appropriate shoe are these flip flops, but what's especially good about them is the up to 2.2 cm of orthotic arch support and a stretchable strap to adjust width. Flip flops don't have to be uncomfortable and by molding to your feet, you'll feel happier wearing them all day long.
I love my Birkenstock Arizona's and I'm a little bit tempted to buy another pair, especially at this price and in this eye-catching pastel color. They're super comfy and lightweight, as well as being shock absorbent, waterproof and kind to the skin. But hurry, at time of writing, most sizes were already sold out.
Vans' Old Skool shoes are iconic low tops worth adding to your footwear collection. Not only are they stylish, but they're also focused on comfort with reinforced toe caps, supported padded collars and waffle outsoles. If you're yet to invest in some Vans, this 29% off deal is a good time to take the plunge.
Running shoes don't have to cost you hundreds of dollars, in fact they can cost you just $54, thanks to this New Balance deal. The Arishi v4s are excellent shoes, supporting you with a Fresh Foam cushioned midsole, breathable mesh upper and durable rubber outsole. All for an excellent price.
Merrell makes some of the best hiking boots we've ever tested and while we haven't tried out the Alverstone 2, they have a seriously impressive spec sheet. A waterproof membrane, breathable suede leather and Cleansport NXT for natural odor control are just a few of the reasons these are great boots for long hikes. But, an even better reason to buy them is that they're 39% off.
These shoes were made for walking (and light running) both in and out of the city. They're light, breathable and ready for wherever your next adventure takes you. So, if you prefer long walks to long runs, these are an excellent pick covered in breathable mesh built for getting your steps in.
The Hoka Clifton 9s are some of the best men's running shoes we've ever tried, especially for beginners. So, when we see any discount on them, we want to talk about it! They're comfy for any length of run, provide a smooth, rockered ride and are incredibly versatile to suit your running skills and needs. Now, just $119.
For some serious women's running shoes, I'd recommend the Asics Gel Kayano 31 built to last long distances. Padded with lightweight cushioning and improved breathability, they even use a 4D guidance system to help provide adaptive stability. A lot of fancy footwork for just $124.
When we reviewed the On Cloudmonster 2's back in 2024, we found the cushioning protective and stable and the fit very accommodating. So, if you're a fan of big cushion and a firmer-feeling running shoe, these are for you. And while there's four different colors available at this price, they're all selling out quickly.
The Hoka Anacapa are some of the best hiking boots money can buy, especially for those looking to prioritize ankle stability. And the Anacapa 2 are an upgrade with more recycled materials and improved waterproofing and breathability. So, get comfy on your hikes and know you saved $50 in the process.

The way it effortlessly removes stains, grease, and grime and leaves just about any surface shiny and scratch-free should be considered witchcraft.

Say aloha to kissers so soft and silky that they made this reviewer feel like they stumbled upon "literal lip magic." A mini belt bag that'll surprise you with just how roomy it is. Use it to keep your phone, wallet, headphones, and maybe even a protein bar to snack on close to you and easily accessible.

Dealing with your baby's diaper rash? This magical ointment is here to save the day. A powerful callus remover because it only takes one "before and after" pic to prove that it works wonders on those rough, dry areas that can develop on your feet. Just apply the gel and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, then follow up with a foot scrubber. This is the *perfect* addition to your next self-care day. A Puracy spray that shocked one reviewer with how well it removed greasy stains. It uses six powerful plant-based enzymes to take care of the latest coffee stain you got as you rushed to work (but still had time for coffee, because there's always time for that). A Trtl neck pillow with soft fleece support that might actually make a restful nap on a plane possible. Its ergonomic design keeps your head from nodding back and forth to help avoid aches and strains. Your family activity-packed trip will probably already deprive you of sleep — might as well get as much as you can on the way there! A pair of gorgeous, super versatile heeled slip-ons if you want all the *slip on, slip off* ease, but in a classic open-toe design. These babies have a thick heel for stability as well as soft, thick braided straps to keep your feet in place. (Because having them slide all over the place can be so annoying!) A cat litter deodorizer because yes, you're a certified cat lady, but that doesn't mean you want your home to smell like one. This'll keep you from having to clean the litter box every day while keeping that stinky odor at bay. 😌 A bottle of Fanola "No Yellow" purple shampoo — you already spent major money to acquire that beautiful blonde look, so why would you let unwanted yellow tones get in the way? This'll cancel out the brassiness and help you keep it looking as good as the hair inspo on your Pinterest board before your next touch-up appointment. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets you'll appreciate because they power away the limescale and mineral buildup that you can't see in your dishwasher, so you can restore it to its squeaky-clean state and have one less thing on your plate. (Get it?) A set of versatile packing cubes that'll make SO much use of your luggage space, they'll likely be the last packing cubes you ever buy. The set includes varying sizes to accommodate different suitcases and even comes with a bag that has two separate compartments that let you separate the dirty clothes from the clean ones (or for your shoes and socks!). A pair of high-waisted squat-proof biker shorts if you're planning to take advantage of the sunny weather and go on some runs. These feature two side pockets and super soft, flexible material for maximum mobility. Perfect to pair with an oversized hoodie, sports bra, or a cute cropped tank! Plus, they come in different inseam length options and colors. An interactive cat toy that'll turn your cat into dancing Garfield. It has rolled cardboard on a steel wire with just enough movement that causes the toy to bounce or "dance" and serves as your cat's perfect outlet for playful energy. Have your phone ready for some cute and funny videos! A nontoxic carpet cleaning solution for when your floor has suffered through too much abuse from your pet. You can use it with your vacuum to remove those seemingly impossible stains and leave your carpet with a delightfully minty scent. A cooling, memory foam contoured sleep mask because they'll actually shut out all light while keeping your eyes comfortably nestled and ready for a nice, long nap (ya know, unlike all those *other* masks you've tried). This puts no pressure on your eyes while still allowing you to freely blink, so that you can get some beauty sleep before you land! A trendy, lightweight pair of New Balance 608 V5 Cross Trainers that amazed one reviewer with how well they carried them through a full day at Disneyland — and we all know that's the true test of comfort for any pair of shoes. They're made with minimal interior seams and are lined with supportive foam inserts so that your feet can kiss those painful blisters and midday discomfort goodbye. A lightweight anti-theft backpack because it's waterproof and has a wet bag, shoe compartment, laptop compartment, luggage strap, and a built-in charging port. It's also spacious while still being able to fit under an airplane seat. So if you suddenly start to feel chilly after all that airport chaos is over, you can just reach down and grab your jacket. And a handy RFID-blocking travel wallet, which can store so many of your usual travel and wallet contents, you'll think Hermione cast an undetectable extension charm on it. It can store your passport, boarding pass, three credit cards, a slim card, your ID, a ticket, your phone, your coins, a key, a pen, and...I think that's it? This is great for keeping everything together, especially for a multi-destination trip! A Wobble Wag Giggle ball that's so entertaining, your pup just might start paying more attention to this lil' toy than he does to you. With an internal noisemaker and six pockets to engage your pet's natural curiosity, the only thing that'll get your pup to stop rolling around and wrestling with it is a water break. A one-piece swimsuit because it blends support and style ~flawlessly~ thanks to its high neck and deep plunge neckline, which exudes a vintage, Old Hollywood glam look. Plus, the mesh panel is a perfectly subtle way to show off those assets! A pair of seamless scrunch leggings that'll hug your lower body *just* right. 😍 These come with a high waistband for ultimate comfort and material that gives you the perfect combination of softness and stretchiness. Whether you use them to work out or lounge around, they're nice and breathable so that you never feel suffocated in the heat of the day! A Snuggle Puppy so that you no longer feel so helpless when your furry bestie gets a little anxious or lonely. This has a realistic heartbeat that comforts them when they curl up next to it. It's especially helpful for pups who are crate training, have separation anxiety, or get nervous traveling (or those in new homes). ❤️ A Wet & Forget shower cleaner to rid your shower of soap scum, grime, and body oils without all the laborious scrubbing. It also removes stains from non-porous surfaces and leaves behind a soft, delightful vanilla scent. Plus, a shower door cleaner that'll have you singing 🎶I can see clearly now🎶 as you watch it work its magic so that you can finally be rid of the soap scum and hard water stains you thought you were stuck with.

What to wear to the airport: Best airport outfits for travelling in 2025
For me, packing for a holiday is like an Olympic sport and I'm constantly trying to achieve gold. But, thinking back to trips over the years, the real challenge has been what to wear to the airport. You can master a capsule holiday wardrobe, but the airport outfit is a separate beast. Plus, the dress code can feel pretty lawless. The next time you're at the terminal, look around, you'll see a hodgepodge of looks ranging from the suited-up corporate work-tripper to the cute and cosy gal kitted out in head-to-toe Alo Yoga. That's where we come in, as we're here to find your perfect airport outfit formula. Firstly, the practical considerations. Is it a long-haul or short-haul flight? If you live in jeans, there's nothing wrong with denim on a short haul, but opt for on-trend (and much comfier!) wide-leg or baggy styles. The current 'jorts' trend is made for a relaxed travel look. Short haul also tends to mean you're a carry-on girlie who can get clever with outfit hacks. An oversized beach bag can double up as your under-the-seat hand luggage, and utilising a sundress and sandals combo as comfy plane attire means you're holiday-ready as soon as you land. The allure to wear a vest top and cargo pants or a cute co-ord is totally doable on a fleeting flight to a European getaway, but the plane's AC can expose you to arctic conditions, so layers are essential. A light cashmere cardi will keep you warm in the air *and* during holiday sunset dinners when paired with a white cotton prairie dress and straw bag for a romantic cottagecore aesthetic. Long-haul flights are where the cosy airport staples reallycome into play. In this situation, packing hacks be damned, dressing purely for comfort is key. Joggers and a slogan tee are a cool and failsafe combo, and a fleece-lined hoodie is like a sartorial blanket. Bury your head into the hood and block out the other passengers until landing. For footwear, fashion trainers are the obvious choice. Slip-on shoes like Vans' checkerboard slip-ons or Birkenstock's Boston suede sliders will serve you well during passport control. Below, find some winning outfit formulas approved by the best of the best celeb jet setters, plus the products to shop so that you can borrow their effortless off-duty airport style for your next flight. This is our walk-off-the-plane-ready-to-holiday look. Some feet-phobe folks may disagree, but toes out at an airport is fine by us, and we honestly wouldn't fly anywhere without a trusty pair of Havaianas flip flops by our side. Cashmere socks are a simple luxury well worth investing in. That, plus a roomy printed tee and track pants, equals a match made in travel heaven. Like a thin knit cardigan, an oversized shirt offers the same plane-to-holiday versatility. It's the coolest beach cover-up going. Taking notes from a chic and relaxed J Law, pair with some silk trousers that are soft on the skin and super breathable. If it's a long-haul flight, though, be aware of potential creasing. Some of us factor in time to exercise during our hols (personally, never), so if you're planning a morning 5k run on your trip, then embody this sporty persona at the terminal. Wearing running trainers means you don't need to pack 'em. A statement trainer can liven up your practical attire, especially in a bold hue like Puma's red Speedcats. Luxe accessories and layered necklaces will add an effortless elegance to trackies and a t-shirt. Once you've landed, employ this low-key, stylish combo of a football shirt and denim cut-offs to stroll the local beach town, shopping for souvenirs and pondering over ice cream flavours. Pair with the newest trainer trend of a ballet or Mary Jane hybrid style for all-day exploring. Have you ever seen anyone look as chic on a night flight? Cashmere and a '60s-style thick headband is the answer. Sophie Leen is the Bookings Editor for Cosmopolitan UK and Women's Health UK. She specialises in creating fashion and shopping content across both digital and print platforms, as well as producing all of our fashion editorial photoshoots, which have included our digital cover with Olly Alexander and our curve influencer's letter to the high street story. Sophie also looks after our Try Before You Train franchise where our team have tested and reviewed over 100 gymwear items.
