We compared the takeaways from podiatrists, editors, and reviewers to figure out which Amazon Prime Day sale is better: Hoka or Brooks running shoes.

The sale, which kicks off October 8 and runs through October 9, is the perfect time start some pre-Black Friday shopping, but also stock up on stuff you might need like socks, a fanny pack, or if you've had your eye on some new earbuds. And, of course, it always worth shopping for a great basic like walking shoes when there are deals like these.

The shoe features a thick footbed that provides extra cushioning in the heel for all-day comfort and support during longer walks. Additionally, the lugged outsole ensures no-slip traction, making it perfect for a day out on the water.
