Amazon Prime Day is happening now through June 26, offering Prime members exclusive discounts on sneakers. Some of the best Prime Day deals include 43% off running shoes from Adidas and 32% off New Balance cross trainers.
As a commerce editor for NBC Select, I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I know how to find the most worthwhile deals. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best Prime Day sneaker deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months.
I’ll frequently update this list throughout Amazon Prime Day, so check back daily for new additions.

Nurses who are on their feet all day recommend them. Plus, the sole has a rocker shape that propels you forward with every stride and the upper is lightweight and breathable.
These classic Keds have a canvas upper that is lightweight and great for warm days. The insole is lightly cushioned to provide comfort. The low-profile shoe is timeless and can be worn with everything from floaty dresses to linen shorts.
Another sneaker that made our list of the best wide toe box shoes, this style is currently on major sale. The barefoot style has a zero-drop sole to give that barefoot feeling (and natural toe movement), with minimal cushioning. In place of laces, there is an adjustable hook-and-loop closure at the instep for a secure fit.
If you are on the hunt for an effortless slip-on, look no further than these sneakers from Skechers.

I evaluated the quality of these deals by running them through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel, and I only included ones that:
