Save $40 on the Brooks Ghost 16 shoes, the most comfortable pair for standing all day
For days when you're walking or standing for long periods of time, your footwear makes all the difference. While a poor choice in shoes can leave you nursing tired, achy feet, a good one will keep a spring in your step all day long. Luckily, one of the most comfortable pairs of sneakers we've ever tested, the Brooks Ghost 16s, is on sale now. Even at their usual price of $140, the Brooks Ghost 16s are worth it for their high quality and durability. But right now, you can score a pair for $40 less. All colors and sizes of both the men's and women's Ghost 16s have the same discount, at least the ones that are still in stock, so you won't want to pass up this deal. The Ghost 16s have everything you need to set yourself up for success when spending a day on your feet. They feature lightweight but supportive cushioning, a stable heel and rigid sole, and breathable uppers, which ultimately made them the best shoes for standing all day we've ever tested. Designed to be a running shoe, the Ghost 16 has excellent shock absorption and maintains its structure even after hundreds of miles. The shoe's higher heel drop of 12 mm also serves to relieve pressure on the plantar fascia tendon, making it one of our favorite shoes for plantar fasciitis. With the current discount at Brooks, the Ghost 16s are 29% off. Add a pair to your cart now for just $99.95 while the deal lasts. Brooks Ghost 16 deal: Frequently asked questions Do Brooks shoes run true to size? Brooks generally recommends ordering a half to a full size above your typical dress shoe size, for both men and women. That said, many reviewers said that the Ghost 16s feel roomy or run large, so your usual size may be just fine. Are the Brooks Ghost 16s waterproof? The regular Brooks Ghost 16s are not waterproof. However, there is a waterproof version of the sneaker, the Ghost 16 GTX, which is also currently on sale. Vionic coupons, Rothy's promo codes, and Vivaia coupon codes.

Keep scrolling to see my top 7 picks from this massive Brooks savings event, or browse the entire Brooks sale for yourself from $84.

Whether you're going for a run, lifting weights, or running errands, these shoes offer comfortable, adaptive cushioning that'll support your foot all day. The Ghost 16 is one of the most popular shoes you can get from Brooks, thanks to its lightweight cushioning with improved midsole foam compared to its predecessor. This shoe is great for long runs or walks, or for simply throwing on to run errands. For those looking for maximum cushioning in a running shoe, this is the one for you. In addition to plenty of Brooks' nitrogen-infused foam, the Ghost Max 2 also features an upward curve at the heel and toe to improve heel-toe transitions and a broad base to increase stability. In the market for a new training shoe? The Brooks Hyperion is one of the lightest options when it comes to running shoes.

As the name of this shoe implies, the Hyperion Max 2 delivers maximum nitrogen-infused cushioning in both the heel and the forefoot.

The 8 best shoes for standing all day on concrete, slick floors, and other surfaces that cause achy feet
Best overall: Brooks Ghost 16 They have every feature our podiatrists want to see. Brooks' Ghost 16 sneakers have everything podiatrists say is ideal for the best shoes for standing all day: lightweight cushioning, heel stability, a rigid sole, and a breathable mesh upper. Its insoles are removable if you need to add more arch support. Importantly, they lace up. Priya Parthasarathy, DPM, Maryland-based podiatric surgeon with Foot Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic, says lace-up shoes offer better support for standing all day compared to slip-ons. They're comfortably cushioned, but firm enough for long shifts. Our chef tester wore these shoes over a dozen 10-hour kitchen shifts, and during long travel days. Its DNA Loft v3 foam footbeds felt lightweight and slightly springy, but also firm enough to prevent joints from feeling fatigued eight hours into a shift. He raved about how much support they offer for the knees and lower back. They're breathable, even in the waterproof version. Breathability is a key feature Dr. Oldani recommends for standing-all-day shoes. Heat and sweat puts you at and a greater risk for blisters, infections, or slipping around inside your shoe. Our tester wore the waterproof Ghost 16 GTX sneakers during messy restaurant shifts and in drizzly weather. Their well-designed Gore-Tex membranes were effective at keeping his feet dry amid spills and splashes. Best budget: Sorel Caribou Clogs They're surprisingly comfy and incredibly lightweight. Over the past three years, I've worn these clogs for long travel days, running errands, concerts, and standing for over five hours during volunteer shifts. Despite being only $60, the Sorel Caribou Clogs are remarkably supportive and easy to wear. They're made with injection-molded EVA in every part of the shoe, and the material is firm but structured — enough to keep my high-arched feet from aching after long days. They're waterproof with a grippy outsole. These clogs are my go-to shoes in the cold (aside from when I'm tromping through snow banks in winter boots) because they seal out moisture and are made with Sorel's Evertread, a high-traction rubber that delivers reliable grip on slippery surfaces. I wouldn't classify them as completely "non-slip," but they are definitely grabby enough for nurses who may need stability on slick hospital floors. They're stylish. The nearly 2-inch platform on these clogs gives you a height boost and, while they are basically a huge block of rubber color, I get compliments on these clogs all the time when I wear them — to the point that I've had multiple people stop to ask what they are and say they're going to go buy them after I sing all of the above praises. There's even a luxury leather version designed by Proenza Schouler, though the collab is widely sold out. They're not great in the heat. The one downside to these shoes is that they aren't breathable. Being clogs, they're very easy to slip your feet in and out of to catch a little air, but they do build up heat during humid summers to the point where I don't wear them from May to September. Best non-slip: Crocs On the Clock Work Sneaker They're made for spills and easy to clean. Our chef tester wore these on multiple 10+ hour standing kitchen shifts — including one at a very messy oyster station — and only had good things to report. These sneakers, which are part of the Crocs At Work collection, have a synthetic Nubuck overlay that's good at preventing spills from seeping inside, and it's very easy to wipe clean. They're actually slip-resistant. Testing confirms: The Crocs Lock outsole is reliable at preventing a wipe out on slick kitchen floors. They're comfortable and breathable. These sneakers are built with Croc's premium LiteRide footbed, which is why they're beloved among cooks, nurses, and other professionals who are on their feet all day. Our tester reported that his feet felt well-supported and free of aches after long shifts on hard kitchen floors. The lace-up sneakers are ideal for most restaurant workers who need ankle security as they pivot during busy shifts. Our tester also appreciated how breathable the upper material of these sneakers are, especially with their waterproofing overlay. They're well-priced. I hear so many cooks complain about how the expensive, orthopedic non-slip shoes may be worth the price once, but with the stink and stains that come with months of service, they need cheaper shoes that can be easily replaced once they're trashed. The Crocs On the Clock Work Sneaker is easy to clean and rewear for longer, and at $70, they aren't too painful to replace when the time comes. They're polished enough for front-of-house service. We decided to rank these sneakers just above the Crocs Bistro Work Clogs (which are worth an honorable mention) because they offer a more clean, understated look for servers and bartenders. Best cushioning: Asics GEL-Nimbus 27 They have pillow-soft cushioning, yet with a more rigid structure. As someone whose knees become strained from hours of standing, I found the GEL-Nimbus 27s more nurturing than something like the Brooks Ghost 16s. That said, the GEL-Nimbus 27 have a firmer midsole (which helps to keep your foot from sliding around), and are rigid enough that they can't fold in half. They don't get squishy after a few hours of wear. High-cushion shoes aren't always ideal for standing all day because the foam compresses over time, creating a sinking or muddy feeling. But the joint relief is worth it for some, and after testing the Asics GEL-Nimbus 27s for 100+ cumulative hours across international travel days, I can confirm this is a high-cushion sneaker that maintains its structure. They're highly breathable, even in the heat. The jacquard mesh upper is both roomy and breathable, with plush sock liners that feel soft around the ankles. The ventilation and expandable space made these sneakers comfortable and cool after they'd been on my feet for 20+ hours on a long summer travel day to Copenhagen. Best for walking: On Cloudtilt Their soft-but-rigid cushioning stays springy after standing all day. I've tested a lot of different walking shoes, and the On Cloudtilts strikes a perfect balance between cushioned and supportive. On's signature technology, CloudTec, builds the midsole out of firm foam cutouts, or "clouds," to provide structured support. These clouds are organized in a sequential collapse pattern, so they compress gradually in away that offers just the right amount of give. This allows for better balance and disperses the impact of walking all day, thereby reducing fatigue in your legs. The uppers feel super stretchy and breathable. The Cloudtilts use a knit upper made from 100% recycled polyester that feels more elastic and forgiving — especially if your feet tend to swell. It hugs your foot like a sock without trapping heat. One downside: The sock-like upper means you lose some structure and lateral stability, so it's not ideal if you pivot a lot on the job. The secure laces are easy to slip on and off. Dr. Parthasarathy says she finds lace up shoes are more supportive for standing and walking all day compared to one-size-fits-all slip ons. That said, sometimes you want a shoe that slips on and off easily. I love that this lace system lets you tighten across the top of the foot as needed, but has enough stretch and a simple stopper knot so you can slip them off without having to untie and re-tie every time. Best for working outdoors: Wolverine Overpass CarbonMax 6" Boot They're proper work boots — durable, weather-ready, and grippy. Wolverine has been making work gear since the early 1900s, with a long-standing reputation for quality and durability. While my husband has torn through other boots within half a landscaping or construction season, this pair showed no wear-and-tear (besides dirt stains) after two and a half months of heavy use. These boots are made with premium waterproof leather, an abrasion-resistant toe, and a ContourWelt construction that feels both flexible and secure. They have a composite safety toe. Wolverine's Overpass CarbonMax boots are made with a composite safety toe made from lightweight carbon fiber. This meets the ASTM standards for impact and compression, and feels more lightweight than steel-toed boots. Unlike steel, it also won't conduct heat or cold, making it a better choice for extreme weather. It's also thinner than traditional steel toes, giving your toes more wiggle room without sacrificing protection. They're comfortable for standing on soil or concrete. These boots required zero break in time and were comfortable for an all-day shift right out the shock-absorbing midsoles and removable Ortholite footbeds minimized foot fatigue, even after standing on concrete or uneven ground for 8+ hours. They also have a slight lift in the heel to take the pressure off your foot tendons. They're lightweight and breathable. Despite being incredibly durable and having that protective composite toe, these boots weigh just 1.63 pounds. And even though they're waterproof, they're still quite breathable thanks to a moisture-wicking mesh liner. They're backed by a 30-day comfort guarantee. Wolverine offers a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don't find these boots comfortable once you've worn them on the job. Best sandal: Fitflop RELIEFF Recovery Toe-Post Sandals These combine the ease of flip flops with orthotic-level support. These look like your average poolside flip-flops, but they're secretly built like a recovery shoe. They combine a firm, supportive sole with a plush recovery foam footbed that absorbs shock and relieves pressure at key points like your heel, arch, and ball of the foot. The wide toe box also lets your foot spread naturally, and the slight 1-inch heel takes pressure off your plantar fascia — a feature recommended by our podiatrists. I've worn the Fitflop RELIEFF Recovery Sandals for over 8+ hours walking and standing in museums and shops around Spain, as well as over four straight days out and about in New York City, and my feet felt as comfortable as if I were wearing sneakers. They're surprisingly stylish for orthotics. With their slight heels and regular-width straps, these flip flops blend in perfectly with a casual summer outfit without screaming "sensible footwear." They do rub a little in the humidity. I don't think this is a deal breaker because no blisters formed, and they felt fine when I wore them for shorter stints in drier West Coast climates. But after two days of standing on subways, in line at museums, and walking around a humid late-June New York, the straps caused some friction between my toes and outer edge of my foot. I wore preventative Band-Aids, which fixed the issue. Best clogs: Dansko Platform Pro Their legendary support earns them podiatrists' praise. There's a reason "Dansko" is pretty much synonymous with "supportive clogs": The brand's shoes are built with a footbed like no other — contoured specifically to reduce strain on the feet, ankles, and lower leg and made with memory foam to learn your foot's curves the more you wear them. I wore the Platform Pro clogs during six-plus hours of standing at an outdoor concert, as well as many all-day stints at my standing desk. They offer me incredible arch support and strategic cushioning on certain areas where I want it most, like the ball of the foot. The heel counter is very firm, and there's a slight 0.5-inch heel-drop wedge — two features podiatrists recommend for lessening foot fatigue. They're slip-resistant. Designed with an outsole that grips on wet, dry, and oily surfaces, the Platform Pro is ideal for kitchens, hospitals, or anywhere with slick floors. The chrome-free, breathable lining keeps your feet from overheating through long shifts. The leather is super versatile and ages well. I particularly love how chic and versatile the leather Platform Pros are over any other Danskos. They pair nicely with jeans or slacks, so they're great for any dress code. They're not too clunky — though they're a bit loud, and not the most lightweight. The platform on these clogs gives them a bit of an elevated look, but they're also designed with Dansko's signature rocker sole to promote natural movement as you walk. This helps to minimize the clunkiness. That said, they aren't quite as lightweight as, say, the Sorel Caribou Clogs. They're also a little noisy to clomp around in on hardwood or concrete floors, so if you work in a quiet office, these might not be the best pick. Other shoes we tested Honorable mention: Crocs Bistro Work Clogs Many cooks and chefs prefer shoes that slip off easily in case of hot liquid spills. The Crocs Bistro Work Clogs do just that — and kept our kitchen tester's feet supported on countless 10+ hour shifts — while still offering Crocs Lock slip-resistant tread, toe protection, and a heel strap to keep your foot secure as you move around the kitchen. Dansko Bridget: With a double strap to hold your toes in place and Dansko's supportive contoured footbed, we found these sandals to be supportive. However, the heel cup was very narrow. Hey Dude Wally Work CE Classic Slip Resistant: These non-slip shoes are lightweight, have removable insoles, and are overall pretty comfortable, but they aren't breathable enough. : While we like the sleek and versatile aesthetic of these double-strap FitFlop sandals, they didn't provide enough arch support after three hours of standing. Consider them only if you have flat feet. Hoka Gaviota 5: While these are our favorite walking shoes for arch support, the Gaviota (and most Hokas, for that matter) aren't rigid enough to off-set the high cushioning. They started to feel too squishy after a few hours of standing in them. Nike Motiva: With a breathable upper, wide toe box, and balanced cushioning, the Nike Motivas proved to be comfortable for hours on your feet — though not quite as supportive as the Brooks Ghost 16s or Asics Gel Nimbus 27s. Oofos OOmy Zen: A slide-on, high-cushion sneaker from a great recovery footwear brand, these shoes are very comfortable for walking all day. They run a full size small and may be a little too cumbersome for some people, but if you're not a fan of the Asics Gel Nimbus 27s, these are a solid high-cushion alternative. : These lightweight boots are made with the same top-tier durability, composite toe, and high-traction outsoles as the Wolverine Overpass boots, and come with a cushioned, energy-returning footbed. They just take a little longer to break in. What to look for in the best shoes for standing all day "Wearing high-quality, comfortable footwear for standing all day lowers your risk of injury and other foot issues, such as plantar fasciitis or neuromas," says Dr. Parthasarathy. Conversely, choosing unsupportive footwear can create inflammatory conditions that may take months to resolve, Dr. Oldani adds. Here's what both experts recommend: A shoe that matches your activity. If you're walking a lot during your shift, you'll want something with more ankle support than clogs. If you're working construction, you need a boot durable enough to withstand flying debris. Cushioning. This is crucial to increasing shock absorption and reducing stress on your ankles. Rigidity. When you hold the shoe by heel and toe, you shouldn't be able to fold it in half. Supportive heel counter. A solid heel counter cradles your Achilles tendon and prevents you from excessively rolling your feet inward as you step (also called "overpronation"). Breathability. When you're in an active profession, even air flow prevents overheating. A slight wedge. A slight lift in the heel (half an inch, ideally) takes pressure off your Achilles and plantar fascia. Removable insoles. Ideally, you can place a custom orthotic in your shoe as needed. Secure straps. Some people find a lace-up shoe provides better support for standing all day because it keeps your foot in for sandals, look for styles with adjustable ankle straps, including one over the toes for better stabilization. FAQs What are the best shoes for standing all day? After testing 22 pairs of shoes, we think the Brooks Ghost 16s are the best shoe for most people who spend hours on their feet. They're cushioned to absorb shock, but rigid enough to not fold in half, with a firm and supportive heel counter. Are flat shoes good for standing all day? No, flat shoes aren't ideal. You actually want a shoe with a slight 0.5-inch heel, as this helps take strain off your foot tendons, and one with a supportive footbed, Dr. Priya Parthasarathy says. Are HOKAs good shoes for standing all day? It depends on which model, but for the most part, HOKAs are too flexible to be supportive over hours of standing. If you want a similar high-cushion shoe with a more rigid midsole for better support, opt for the Asics Gel Nimbus 27s. What should I do if my feet hurt after a long day of standing? If your feet hurt after standing all day, Dr. Priya Parthasarathy recommends rotating your shoes to provide different levels of cushion and support, stretching during and after your shift, and icing to reduce inflammation. She adds that wearing compression socks may also help.

I'm tracking the best Prime Day fitness deals LIVE — huge sales on Skechers, Garmin, Oura and more
Staff picked deals:1. Quick Links2. Running shoe deals3. Apparel deals4. Fitness tracker deals5. Sleep tech deals6. LIVE: latest updates I've been covering Prime Day since 2016, only a year after Amazon launched it's annual shopping event for Prime members. And, as Tom's Guide's Buying Guide Editor (and, previously, the site's Fitness Editor), I know what makes a great fitness deal. That's why I decided to dig into the discounts available right now on Amazon to find you the running shoes, fitness trackers and apparel deals that are actually worth your money, so you can boost your fitness without breaking the bank. One of my favorites so far is the Columbia Triple Canyon 60L Backpack, which is down to just $135 right now but has a massive internal pocket with organization and a rain cover. And the Brooks Ghost 16 which have dropped to just $99 for an impressively comfortable everyday running shoe. This women's edition of the Ghost 16 is a impressive all-round running shoe. It's comfortable and well-suited to every day training runs. Like most running shoes, it comes in a huge variety of colors, and the discount will vary by size and color. There are also similar savings on the men's version of the Ghost 16. If you're looking for one of our favorite all-round Hoka running shoes, the Mach 6 is perfect, and several colors are discounted by almost a third right now. It's well cushioned, making it a great choice for casual runs, but also light enough if you want to add a bit of speed. The women's Mach 6 is also down to $111 in specific colors and sizes. If you're a New Balance fan in need of a bouncy every day running shoe, I present the Fuel Cell Propel V4. Unsurprisingly, it's pretty good at propelling you forwards, helping you clock the miles without as much strain. Despite the large outer sole, it's surprisingly light, so it doesn't feel heavy on your foot. The men's Fuel Cell Propel V4 is also discounted right now. The Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 is an ideal shoe if you want to pick up the pace. It's designed to be responsive and lightweight, with an energetic ride that makes it a great choice for race day or speedy workouts, with cushioning that'll see you through longer runs too. Oh, and (you guessed it) the men's version is also discounted. In her Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review, my fastidious colleague Erin Bashford declared these one of the best options for beginners, explaining that "they're very comfortable and the 1½-inch thick foam provided extra help on runs where I needed a little extra help." As someone who attended an outdoor festival just a few years ago, I know the value of a practical bag like this. It has a rain cover (excellent), weight distributing straps (helpful) and dedicated areas for your packing, including a space for a hydration bladder (I really could have used one of those). I don't understand them, but people seem to love these Adidas sliders for going about town, getting a coffee or taking a trip to the beach. They're versatile for sure, and dry quickly. Plus, they're half price right now which makes them an absolute steal. Patagonia makes some of the best outdoors apparel (and it's pretty ethical too), like this insulated women's vest. It comes in five colors from XXS through XXL. It's windproof and you can wear it under a coat during winter, or alone in early fall when the temperatures haven't dropped too far. Ever noticed that when your feet get hot, you get hot? That's why sweat-wicking socks like these are so important, as they keep your feet cool, and reduce moisture so you don't end up with rubbing and painful blisters that'll keep you from lacing up. We were so impressed with this Garmin tracker that we ranked it as the best fitness smartwatch for women. It has all the basics (steps, heart rate, sleep) but in a smaller, less bulky package. There's also built-in GPS for tracking outdoor workouts, and we found that it can last up to two weeks between charges with moderate use. Garmin launched it's fancy new Fenix 8 almost a year ago, but why buy that when you could get many of the same features for almost half the price? It has all the Garmin classics, like sports tracking, training analysis and outdoor navigation features, and incredible battery life. Our marathon-runner-on-staff, Nick Harris-Fry, managed to make it last three weeks on a single charge, even while running around 70 miles per week! The Galaxy Watch Ultra is Samsung's Android-friendly version of the Apple Watch Ultra. It's designed for the outdoors, lasts two days between charges and has a massive AMOLED touchscreen for easy use in all conditions. Plus, it integrates with Samsung Health on your phone for AI-powered actionable insights based on your data. Apple's entry-level smartwatch is almost down to it's lowest ever price with this Prime Day discount. It's a few years old now, but still has the latest software and can do a lot of what you get on the more expensive Apple Watch 10. It's a steal at this price, especially since it's cheaper than some Fitbits right now, and is easily one of the best options if you own an iPhone. Google might be confusing us all with its Fitbit/Pixel Watch branding (the company acquired Fitbit a few years ago and has merged some features into Google-branded smartwatches) but the Charge 6 is still easily the best fitness tracker out there, especially at this price. There are several colors to choose from, it has built-in GPS, and the battery lasts up to a week between charges. Incredible value for just over $100. Oura only released the Ring 4 late last year, but this Prime Day fitness deal already drops the price of the most expensive variant by $75. Although you'll need to buy this plus the Oura membership, you get week-long activity, sleep and health tracking with actionable AI insights to help boost your wellbeing. The all-black design is also discounted right now for Prime Day. The starting price is lower, as is the amount of money off, but the amount you save with this deal basically nets you a free year of Oura membership. Oura's lineup only varies in color, so you get the same experience no matter which ring you choose. If you're not after a specific finish, this tallies with the black edition for the lowest price over Prime Day. I'm more of a matte than shiny fan, so to me, the extra you pay for the brushed silver makes it worthwhile. After all, the ring will be on your finger pretty much every moment of the day (except when it charges), but, as with the others, the actual data and experience remains the same.

Don't buy running shoes until you see this — my favorite Brooks pair is 40% off for Prime Day
If you're looking to upgrade your daily running shoe (or maybe you've been inspired by Tom's Guide and want to try Jeffing for the first time), I've got good news — one of the best running shoes on the market has 40% off right now. I review running shoes for a living, so much to my partner's despair, you can imagine how many pairs I have lurking at the bottom of my wardrobe. It takes a lot for a shoe to get my seal of approval, but one pair that has is the Brooks Ghost 16, and right now you can grab it for $80 on Amazon. The Ghost 16 is one of Brooks' best-selling running shoes, and for good reason — it's seriously cushioned and comfortable, and is a fantastic running shoe for easy miles and long runs. Not for you? Check out my top Asics Prime Day pick, as well as our other Prime Day deals here. Right now, the men's Brooks Ghost 16 in this grey colorway is down to $80 in the Prime Day sale. You'll have to cycle through the different options to find the best deal for you in your size. The Brooks Ghost 16 is also on sale in the women's shoe, however, it's a little more expensive at $99. Again, you'll have to look through the different colors to find the best deal in your size. For a shoe to be on its 16th iteration, it must be doing something right. The Brooks Ghost has a cult following, thanks to its comfort and cushioning, and the 16 is our favorite version yet. It's the first to feature Brooks' nitrogen-infused DNA Loft v3 midsole foam, and as a result, it's a major upgrade on the Ghost 15. It's a reliable daily trainer that's perfect for beginners. For a shoe to be on its 16th iteration, it must be doing something right. Our fitness writer Jess Downey loved the underfoot feel of the Ghost 16 when testing. 'On the roads, I found the DNA Loft v3 struck a good balance between soft and responsive. I noticed the shoe felt soft and forgiving underfoot, but it also felt stable, which we have the thick rubber outsole to thank for this,' she said. Tom's Guide's Nick Harris-Fry, a 2:25 marathon runner, enjoyed the shoe for longer training runs. 'I've run 50 miles in the shoe, and the ride is very consistent. It's not a particularly springy or soft shoe, but it is comfortable enough for long runs, and the foam is resilient, so it feels exactly the same at the end of a 13-mile run as it did at the start. That's in contrast to some shoes with softer foams that can feel great at mile one but harden up by the end of a long run.' If you're looking for a comfortable, reliable running shoe, you can't go wrong with the Brooks Ghost 16. It's not the fastest shoe or the lightest shoe, but it's extremely comfortable and durable, and for $80, it's a great price.
