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.

WE'RE IN THE thick of marathon season, transitioning to indoor workouts, and jacketing up for fall—and Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event on October 8 and 9 is giving us the perfect excuse to upgrade our sneaker collection across the board.

The savings continue with women’s road running shoes as well, with many comparable sales on both gender versions. The women’s deals include discounts of 50 percent off. The highlight right now: more than $70 off both the Brooks Glycerin 20s and Saucony Triumph 21s.
