Many of the best Memorial Day sneaker sales are still going on after the holiday.
Dick's Sporting Goods
The thick cushioning and breathable mesh upper of this sneaker make it an excellent option for anyone craving more support. We named it the best shoe overall for standing all day. This 20% discount is available in 10 colorways at Dick's Sporting Goods this week. All colors of the women's Clifton 9 are also on sale.
Dick's Sporting Goods
You can pick from 10 discounted colorways at Dick's Sporting Goods, including the neutral Barley shade above. Our favorite stability running shoe for men, the Arahi 7 is designed to prevent overpronation (when your ankle rolls inward as you walk). It's not as cushioned many of Hoka's popular designs, but the sacrifice comes a more stable build overall. Women's sizes are also on sale.
Hoka
Our gear editor named the Mach 6 the best Hoka shoe for tempo runs. If you're looking for a lightweight trainer that'll keep up, the Mach 6 is speedier and more dynamic than its plusher Clifton 9 cousin. Hoka only has two colorways available for this price, but a wide array of sizes are in stock.
Dick's Sporting Goods
The super-comfortable Hoka Bondi 8 has been a customer favorite for years, thanks to its excellent cushioning and bouncy foam sole. It's a great everyday choice for those who are on their feet for most of the day or enjoy taking long walks. Right now, select men's sizes and colorways are on sale for the lowest price we've ever seen these sneakers; most, however, are available at a sale price of $116, just a dollar more than its previous lowest price.
On
Plush and stable, the Cloudrunner was designed to minimize impact using On's proprietary CloudTec cushioning and lightweight foam. It also has a higher 9mm heel-toe drop that's good for runners who tend to land heel first. This discount is available in two colors and sizes 10.5 through 13.
Dick's Sporting Goods
The Cloudswift 3 has a sock-like fit and ribbed lacing to keep the sneaker firmly in place while you move. It has a springy sole and a durable, rounded tread that grips the ground and propels you forward. Reviewers also comment on the sneaker's overall comfort, noting that it requires little to no break-in period. This discount is available in seven colors, though sizing is limited depending on the colorway.
On
If you're looking for an On Cloud Memorial Day sale on trail-running sneakers, we've got you. Right now you can get 25% off the On Cloudsurfer Trail-Running Shoes, in a gray-and-light-green colorway (Frost/Lima). With a moderate cushion and a 7mm heel-to-toe drop, these offer comfort, flexibility and shock-absorbing grip and traction. The deal is available in eight sizes at the time of this writing.
On
With a light, extra-cushioned design, these sneakers are designed to help propel you forward for more speed. The woven uppers are light and breathable, and the shoe also has excellent reflectivity to help keep you visible in the evenings. This colorway (Black/Iron) is now on sale for 25% off, and it's still available in most women's sizes.
Brooks Running
Our favorite women's walking shoe overall after extensive yearslong testing, and our favorite men's walking shoe for long distances, the Brooks Ghost 16 sneaker is made for walkers who want to get some serious miles under their feet. The sneaker is well-cushioned, supportive and stable—albeit a bit bulky. Brooks is offering nine colorways for 21% off at the moment in a solid array of sizes.
Amazon
The newest version of this sneaker (the Glycerin 22) is our favorite men's running shoe for wide feet. The style is very well-cushioned, with a high 10mm drop and spacious toe box. If you don't need the latest design, this 21 model is 38% off in seven colorways at Amazon right now (a few other colors are also on sale for slightly less).
Amazon
Highly cushioned with a rocker-style sole, this sneaker is the our editors' pick for the best shoe for standing on concrete all day—and the best men's walking shoe for cushioning. It was super popular with our testers for its overall comfort and extremely soft landing. However, its higher stack and weight leave it better suited for standing and walking versus more demanding activities. Two colors are on sale in women's sizes and one is on sale in men's.
Asics
Our editors named the Asics Gel-Kayano 31 the best running shoe overall for men thanks to its excellent support, impact absorption and a design that promotes proper alignment. As our gear writer Steven John puts it, 'Essentially, this shoe holds your foot exactly where it should be, with your heel locked in place, arches supported and toes free to spread out with each step.' Both men's and women's sizes are on sale for $40 off in a range of colors and sizes, so don't miss out on the rare chance to save on this model.
Asics
These lightweight and breathable trail-running sneakers are now 25% off in the colorway shown, with all sizes still in stock; most men's sizes are still available and on sale for the same price as well. Proprietary cushioning technology provides lightweight impact absorption for good bounce, and an OrthoLite Hybrid Max sockliner offers comfort no matter where your adventures take you.
Asics
Designed for road running or treadmill workouts, these running sneakers are lighter weight than their previous iteration, but still cushioned enough to provide comfort and bounce with every step. The mesh upper is made with over 90% recycled materials, a foam blend outsole offers good traction, and this sneaker is also American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) accepted.
Nike
Our team named the Nike Metcon 9 the best CrossFit shoe for men due to its well-rounded, versatile design that can help you power through nearly any workout. It has a rubber strip on the inside of the foot to take on rope climbing, and its slight heel drop is ideal for weightlifting. The sneaker also quite stylish, coming in eight colorways to fit your desired aesthetic. Keep in mind it's a heavier shoe overall.
Columbia
If you're looking for a walking shoe that can handle rainy day strolls, our editors recommend the Columbia Konos TRS OutDry Shoe. Its padded, supportive and features a durable outsole with plenty of traction for walking in wet weather. The upper material is also designed to keep your feet dry, so you don't have to deal with sopping wet socks.
Fleet Feet
New Balance is one of the best sneaker brands for wider-than-average feet. Because it offers widths narrow (B) through extra-wide (4E), all sorts of runners can feel comfortable while wearing this shoe regardless of their size. We particularly recommend the New Balance 880 V14 Wide for beginner runners due to its light weight, sturdy support and ample cushioning underfoot.

Yordan Alvarez's ‘small' hand fracture adds another chapter to Astros' ambiguous medical history
HOUSTON — A month into an injured list stint for 'inflammation,' a small fracture has been discovered in Yordan Alvarez's right hand, sidelining the Houston Astros slugger for the foreseeable future while inviting further scrutiny on a medical staff struggling to get players back onto the field. Alvarez underwent imaging on Friday evening that revealed a 'small' fracture near the fourth metacarpal, general manager Dana Brown said on Saturday. The fracture is '60 percent healed,' according to Brown, who still hopes Alvarez can return 'in the near future.' Advertisement Alvarez has not appeared in a major-league game since May 2. On Saturday, the three-time All-Star acknowledged the injury occurred in a game prior to that date, but Alvarez attempted to play through it 'because I've played before with pain in my hand.' 'I didn't think it was going to be something big,' Alvarez added through an interpreter. 'But I think the fact that I kept playing caused my hand to stress more and caused the small fracture.' The team first described Alvarez's injury as a muscle strain on the top of his right hand. According to Brown, initial imaging taken on May 6 showed inflammation and fluid around the area. After three weeks of rest and ambiguous updates — always with positive undertones — team officials hoped Alvarez could return during this weekend's series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Two minor-league pitchers flew in from Florida on Friday morning to throw live batting practice against Alvarez at Daikin Park. Alvarez hit one home run into the right field seats and stung a few other line drives, but still felt pain in his right hand. Additional imaging ensued on Friday evening, which revealed the fracture. 'It doesn't surprise me that it was fractured,' Alvarez said. 'I knew there was something there on my first MRI with the muscle strain, but that's what I was dealing with. Time passed and it was supposed to get better, but it wasn't like that. I knew I couldn't go out there and support three or four games out there.' Both Brown and Alvarez said the Astros only took two images of Alvarez's hand: the one on May 6 and another on Friday evening. It's unclear why additional imaging wasn't ordered once Alvarez's inflammation subsided. Asked whether Friday's imaging came with Astros' doctors or an external physician, Alvarez replied, 'Both.' Brown acknowledged that Alvarez received a 'second opinion through him and his agent.' Alvarez's agent, Dan Lozano of MVP Sports Group, declined comment on Saturday. 'That's normal in baseball,' Brown said. 'There's a lot of guys that do that and we're not opposed to it. The beauty is our doctors will always communicate with the doctor (who gives) the second opinion and we'll work through it.' Advertisement Nowhere in Brown's team-written biography does it describe any medical education in his past, yet he sat atop a bench on Saturday afternoon attempting to explain how a $2.8 billion entity has now twice failed to discover a fracture in one of its franchise players. Last season, after insisting for almost three months that outfielder Kyle Tucker suffered a 'shin contusion,' the club acknowledged he suffered a fracture, but only after The Athletic prepared to report the story, citing multiple league sources. No two injuries are identical, but the parallel between Tucker and Alvarez's predicaments is difficult to ignore. Understanding how damaging the public perception can be is crucial, too. Players needing months to recover from fractures is understandable to a fan base. Needing that for a contusion or inflammation is more difficult to digest. The Astros continue to refuse all interview requests for head trainer Jeremiah Randall, claiming the sport's collective bargaining agreement prevents it. Still, the Pittsburgh Pirates, Minnesota Twins and Athletics are among teams that make their medical staffs available in either informal or on-the-record settings. The Detroit Tigers issue a formal injury report twice a week. On Saturday, Houston opted for its head of baseball operations to deliver a radiology lesson. 'I think part of the problem is twofold: You don't see the calcium or callus buildup until five weeks or so, and that's part of the problem,' Brown said. 'When you do these imagings and you have so much fluid and inflammation, it is very, very difficult to diagnose it. Even with multiple opinions, it's very difficult to see.' Both Brown and Alvarez acknowledged that swinging a bat within the past week may have exacerbated the injury, inviting wonder why Alvarez did so in the first place. Advertisement 'I was in agreement with that plan, but I knew something wasn't right,' Alvarez said on Saturday. 'But there wasn't anything more to show after the first MRI. When I first hit off the pitchers yesterday, I knew I wasn't going to be able to play three or four games straight and that's when we decided to do again the MRI.' Three years ago, former general manager James Click called into question the team's 'return to play procedure' after admitting Jake Meyers rushed back from a shoulder injury. Click promised a review, but got fired before it could be conducted. Perhaps it would behoove Brown to begin one of his own. He already acknowledged rushing pitcher J.P. France back from a shoulder injury last spring. Luis Garcia still hasn't appeared in a major-league game since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2023. Lance McCullers Jr. had several setbacks while recovering from flexor tendon surgery. Asked if he is concerned about how Houston's medical staff has handled his injury, Alvarez said he is not. 'Because maybe I should have said something before that I wanted another study,' Alvarez said through an interpreter. 'But I didn't do it because that was the first thing that came out. It got to the point where I wanted to do another study and that's what we did.' As a result of it, Alvarez will not swing a bat for the foreseeable future. Neither Alvarez nor Brown wanted to put a timeline on his return, though doing so would've accomplished little. Gone is any benefit of the doubt — or believability — in anything this team reveals about its injured players. 'Just let it heal completely and he'll be back,' Brown said.

Aaron Rodgers keeps future with Steelers, football uncertain while focusing on personal priorities: report
Print Close By Ryan Canfield Published May 31, 2025 The Pittsburgh Steelers and Aaron Rodgers have been linked for months in free agency, but that doesn't mean a union is imminent. Rodgers, 41, reportedly has not given the Steelers any guarantee he'll sign with the team. Rodgers "has not affirmatively told the Steelers that he's coming," NFL Network's Tom Pelissero said during a recent appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON The four-time NFL MVP said he has not closed the door on retirement. "I'm open to anything and attached to nothing. Retirement could still be a possibility, but right now my focus is and has been and will continue to be on my personal life. … There's still conversations that are being had," Rodgers said on "The Pat McAfee Show" in April. "I'm in a different phase of my life. I'm 41 years old. I'm in a serious relationship. I have off-the-field stuff that requires my attention. I have personal commitments I've made not knowing what my future was going to look like after last year that are important to me. "And I have a couple of people in my inner, inner circle who are really battling some difficult stuff. So, I have a lot of things that are taking my attention — and have, beginning really in January — away from football." STEELERS STAR LINEBACKER SAYS AARON RODGERS FREE AGENCY SAGA IS NOT A 'DISTRACTION AT ALL' Voluntary offseason practices are underway, but it remains to be seen whether Rodgers decides to play football and sign with the Steelers or if he will decide to call it a career after 20 seasons. With the New York Jets last season, Rodgers threw for 3,987 yards, 28 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 17 games. The Steelers last season went 10-7 with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields as their starting quarterbacks. However, Wilson and Fields departed in free agency. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Fields left for the Jets, and Wilson left for the New York Giants. The Steelers have three quarterbacks on their roster — Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson and sixth-round draft pick Will Howard.
