Despite the relative lack of equipment, running can still be an expensive hobby. The best running shoes are often pricey, but even high-quality pairs will wear down after a while. That’s why it’s worth keeping an eye out for deals on running shoes, whether you’re loyal to Saucony, Nike, or Brooks. Adidas also has a strong foothold in the running game, and right now, one of its most popular styles is on sale at REI—and it's selling out fast.
The Adidas Solarglide 6 is on sale for $98—a 24% discount on the normal $130 price. This supportive sneaker has earned over 140 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they "fit like a glove," making it a top-rated style at REI. There are three colors to choose from with sizes ranging from 6.5 to 12.5, but they're becoming more scarce by the day.

These neutral running shoes are designed for daily runs, with comfortable cushioning courtesy of Adidas’ popular Boost technology. The uppers are made in part from recycled polyester, and the outsole is made with rubber from Continental, a German tire company. While they’re not trail runners, the added grip keeps them secure on wet ground or varying terrain. There's also ample cushioning, which makes them comfortable, though they might be a little heavy for long races.
The cushioned comfort and everyday performance are major selling factors, according to customers. “This is the muscle car of daily trainers,” a shopper said. “The shoe is large, durable, and heavy, but will put down a lot of miles. The inside is very roomy for wide feet but has good enough lockdown for narrow feet…I use these for any easy run over three miles, as it’s not ideal for accelerating or speedwork. Nevertheless, this is one of my favorite shoes to run in and surpasses those narrow Nikes that I’ve owned.”
The shoes’ durability also adds to their appeal as an everyday runner. One shopper wrote that they put “over 875 miles on these Adidas shoes.” Similarly, another runner wrote, “As a collegiate athlete, they can take more miles than a normal shoe, which is great [for] high mileage.” One shopper even called it the “perfect everyday easy-run shoe,” adding that they were “great for recovery runs and to put the miles in. The shoe lasts for at least 800-1,000 km.”
If you need a durable shoe for everyday runs, Adidas’ Solarglide 6 offers plenty of cushioned comfort. It has features found on more expensive Adidas shoes, like Boost cushioning in the midsole and Continental rubber for the outsole. Since they've already started selling out, you’ll want to act fast to get your size.
