If WIRED doesn’t write about Brooks running shoes more often, it’s because they’re so good and so reliable that it simply doesn’t occur to us. We just buy the next edition of the Brooks Ghost and carry on with our day. Several WIRED writers and editors wear Brooks running shoes as their everyday trainers, and these Brooks Running promo codes are some of the best that we’ve seen all season. As the days get shorter and colder, this is also the perfect time of year to upgrade your winter running gear for waterproof, warmer, brighter, or more compressive clothing to tackle the colder winter months. Winter miles bring spring smiles.

Save on Our Favorite Brooks Running Shoes

Brooks makes so many iconic running shoes that it’s hard to list them all. I’m currently running in the Brooks Glycerin Max, which is one of the cushiest shoes that I’ve ever tried. I don’t feel particularly stable on uneven terrain, but the padding is noticeably springy and cushy if you’ve been putting in some serious miles. WIRED director Michael Calore is a fan of the Brooks Ghost line, and if you’re planning on hitting the trails in the cold, wet Pacific Northwest, I would suggest the Brooks Cascadia Gore-Tex. The Adrenaline is the company’s most popular shoe.
