The first-ever Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is finally here, and it’s bringing with it some next-level deals on goods from across the site, including some of the best New Balance shoe styles. This two-day sale happening October 11 and 12 has deals you usually only see during Amazon Prime Day or Black Friday with most discounts between 30 and 50 percent off.
New Balance makes shoes that are meant to be worn for long days and over a long period of time. Its popular range of thick dad shoes and chunky sneakers — like 608 V5s and Dynasoft Nitrel V4s — are on trend right now, but they’re also heavy on the function. Some of the other, low-profile sneakers are great for walking and for standing a lot. Shoes like the Roav V1 and Arishi V3 are made with New Balance’s signature Fresh Foam. Fresh Foam is underfoot cushioning that absorbs shock from your feet hitting the ground and disperses it, making the wear experience gentler on your joints.
New Balance is known for its American-made, comfortable, and functional sneaker range. They’re often designed with wider, supportive bases and plenty of arch support, making them some of the most comfortable sneakers around. It’s a great brand to rely on for supportive walking shoes for men and for women, especially if you have any particular foot issues you’re shopping for like plantar fasciitis, bunions or high arches. If you have chronic knee pain or diabetes, there are a ton of New Balance options that keep your feet and stride in a healthy stride and allow for plenty of proper blood flow.
Watch on FN
That’s not all the brand does well, however. New Balance also expands out from walking shoes to include some lighter weight New Balance runners and sneakers great for speed training and walking.
For the New Balance sneakers on sale this Prime Day, you’re looking at a variety of styles across price points. And because New Balance already is one of the best go-to brands for well-priced and well-made shoes, these major discounts make shopping even better. Whatever kind of sneaker you’ve been holding out on, now is the time to finally get a new pair — or a second pair of your most worn New Balances.
For a no-fail sneaker option for just about any need, check out the best Amazon Prime Early Access New Balance shoe deals.
New Balance Men’s 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer
The New Balance Men’s 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer is part of the New Balance thick-soled shoes for extra support. There’s an internal midsole shank for extra stabilization, and the wide support base is a great option for wider feet.
What reviewers say: “I don’t leave many reviews and I will keep this short. I was skeptical about buying a tennis shoe online but I was pleasantly surprised. This was a great overall shoe. I bought it because I recently picked up Pickleball and my running shoes were not a good stable court shoe. These turned out to be perfect for Pickleball and they are so comfortable and stylish they have become my everyday shoe.”
New Balance Women’s FuelCore Nergize V1 Sneaker
The New Balance Women’s FuelCore Nergize V1 Sneaker is a light runner that’s great for wearing with leggings all day long. These are mad with New Balance’s Memory Sole Comfort Insert for a fit that gets better as you wear them.
What reviewers say: “I had these in my Amazon cart for months waiting for them to go and sale and honestly wish I would have bought them sooner! Super comfortable, incredibly lightweight and very cute. I’ll be getting another pair in a darker color.”
New Balance Women’s 1080 V11 Running Shoe
New Balance Women’s Fresh Foam 1080 V11 Running Shoe is one of the more performance-heavy shoes New Balance makes, and they’re great options for all types of training. They’re made with New Balance’s signature Fresh Foam, which gives a lightweight, cushioned feel to your stride.
What reviewers say: “If you have a wider foot, this is a great walking shoe. Cushion is excellent and mesh material totally flexible. Stretches with no pressure on foot. Bought one pair, wore them out and am on my second. I walk daily and go through a lot of walking shoes. Will buy another.”
New Balance Men’s Arishi V3 Running Shoe
New Balance Men’s Arishi V3 Running Shoe is also made with that light, cushioned Fresh Foam but has a little more minimal of an upper construction. The mesh is no-sew, giving a seamless, stretchy and breathable fit to the top of your foot.
What reviewers say: “Love that they have an extra-wide size option. They look and fit great.”
New Balance Men’s Roav V1 Sneaker
The New Balance Men’s Roav V1 Sneaker combines Fresh Foam support with an Ultra Heel, which is the gray section you see at the back. The tougher back provides a snug fit and day-long support to the back of the heel.
What reviewers say: “My husband got these for his plantar fasciitis. He loves the shoes. Great for young adults who need support and still want nice looking shoes!”
New Balance Men’s Dynasoft Nitrel V4 Trail Running Shoe
Also in New Balance’s repertoire: trail running shoes. The New Balance Men’s Dynasoft Nitrel V4 Trail Running Shoe has that signature NB wide, thick base but is done up with an outdoor-ready traction on the under foot. Wear them on the hiking trail this fall.
What reviewers say: “Stand on my feet 14 hours a day. Very comfortable shoes! Helps with back and foot pain!”
New Balance Women’s 237 V1 Classic Sneaker
New Balance Women’s 237 V1 Classic Sneaker was made to be worn all fall long with your favorite wide-leg jeans or baggy trousers. They have the fit and support you’d want in a New Balance, but the modern take on the ’70s shape is made for fashion.
What reviewers say: “These are so cute! The quality is amazing and the colors are spot on! I have gotten so many compliments on them already. I can’t wait to wear these going into fall and winter!”
New Balance Women’s 410 V7 Trail Running Shoe
New Balance Women’s 410 V7 Trail Running Shoe has the signature running support but is done up with more support for when those runs happen out on a trail. The foam sole base and airy mesh upper give your feet the right kind of bounce and freedom. You’ll feel supported without feeling constricted.
What reviewers say: “I been buying these shoes for a couple years now. Love how great they are for jobs where you are walking 10k steps in 6 hours. My only con is they get worn down quickly with use. About 5 to 6 months, I notice my back hurts more when on my feet for long periods of time.“
