Meet the the waterproof version of our favorite Brooks running shoe, the Ghost 16. The Ghost 16 GTX has the same balanced feel and everyday training capacity as the Ghost 16, but with an additional layer to help water roll right off the top.

That means your feet stay nice and dry, even when you’re caught by those sporadic summer rains. GORE-TEX Invisible Fit technology allows for a nice, breathable feel, too. We discovered during testing that this shoe fits like a glove, creating a reliably comfortable feel, even as you rack up the miles. It’s currently 29 percent off.

If cushioning is a priority, the Ghost Max 2 should be on your feet. This highly cushioned shoe is a 2024 Men’s Health sneaker award winner that also boasts the coveted APMA seal of acceptance, earning it some serious bragging rights. The road-running sneaker delivers with a protective feel and smooth ride thanks to its rocker shape, helping you seamlessly transition from landing to toe-off.

Our testing found it does an excellent job of relieving under-foot pressure while pounding the pavement. There’s a broad base for added stability, too. Men’s Health cover star Jeremy Renner is also a big fan of these shoes, and wore them in our shoot, crediting them with helping his running practice. The Ghost Max 2 can be yours for 20 percent off.

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 GTX

Adrenaline GTS 23 GTX

Brooks shoes have a reputation for stability across the board, but the Adrenaline GTS 23 GTX offers a little something extra in the way of GuideRails support through the midsole to tamp down on excess movement. Now 29 percent off, the shoe also delivers with responsive cushioning and impressive arch support, making it a solid choice for overpronators (a common issue of when your feet roll inward).

The GTS 23 GTX has the added bonus of being waterproof, so you can focus on your speed—not dodging puddles—during training runs.

Best All-Terrain

Brooks Divide 5

If you’re an equal opportunity surface runner, the Divide 5 is for you. This all-terrain shoe has a lightweight, softly-cushioned feel for road-running, but is still rugged enough to deliver support over trails. That versatility recently earned the Divide 5 a spot on our guide for the best trail-running shoes.

The Divide 5 also has high-performance sticky traction to keep your footing as you cruise over uneven terrain. The shoe maintains its soft, breathable feel over long sessions, too. Three colorways are currently 27 percent off.

This high-stability trail shoe won’t weigh you down, whether you’re working your way through wet or dry conditions. The outsole is extra grippy to help you keep your footing over a range of terrain. Right now, you can make this pair yours for 23 percent off.
