The 10 Sneakers Actually Worth the Splurge This Holiday Season

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Shopping for running shoes is no cake walk: you want to get the best pair possible to protect your feet, but they can get expensive! Since you should be rotating your running shoes around every six months if you're using them frequently, a new pair of sneakers is the perfect gift for your fit friends and family. These are our absolute favourite picks of the season; they're sure to be crowd-pleasers.
