These Super-Comfy Sneakers Look Like Pairs That Cost Nearly Twice As Much

I’m a far cry from my first marathon, but I do love to go running (okay, it’s mostly jogging… and sometimes a walk/jog combo) on the regular. I’m also plagued by a lifetime of bad knees and some persistent post-pregnancy back pain, so finding the right sneakers has become a hobby all its own.

Lately I’ve been getting lots of first-hand recommendations for various models from On Running , and I have to say I’m pretty tempted: They’re supposed to be incredibly lightweight, reduce impact on your feet, provide fantastic arch support, etc. etc. Plus, their signature toothy outsole design just looks really cool. The only thing that’s really holding me back is the cost: On’s prices are on-par with every other big name running brand; but consistently pounding the pavement means I need to buy new sneakers somewhat regularly, and I’m getting pretty tired of dropping $150+ on a new pair every 6 months.

I think I found a happy medium in the form of Skechers’ Glide line of sneakers . I’ve specifically opted for the Go Run Glide Step Hyper model, but the line has plenty of options to choose from. There are dedicated options for running , walking , and just plain everyday , and in both lace-up and lace-less iterations. All Glide models claim to be featherlight, provide a cushiony, energizing stride, and offer an innovative midsole design that’s great for the foot. Like On, Glide models have a ton of eye-catching and very technical-looking outsoles that can make even the slowest jogger look like a die-hard pro.

Aesthetics and performance aside, I’m also a big fan of the cost: While some On shoes start around $140 and can exceed the $200 mark, the average Glide (both men’s and women’s models) will set you back around $100 (and sometimes way less). And especially when you’re re-upping as often as (or more than) I am, that adds up to a significant annual savings.
