August marks the end of summer, but we are still on the move with our outdoor walks, hikes, and runs. And when it gets too unbearably hot, we prefer the comfort of our own home or gym with air conditioning but can still get in a good sweat sesh. Check out the athletic shoes our Fitness editors have been loving this August, and add to your cart before summer is over!
Hoka Clifton 8 Sneakers
"Why yes, I do love running with marshmallowy foam on my feet! These Hoka Clifton 8 running sneakers [2] ($130) are so comfortable and have completely alleviated the plantar fasciitis and knee pain I often deal with when running. These lightweight shoes offer stability, support, and great traction for road runs. I'm a huge fan!" – Jenny Sugar, staff writer, Fitness
Rens Original Coffee Sneakers - Rebel Black
"Every pair of Rens Original Coffee Sneakers [3] ($119) is made out of six recycled plastic bottles and (yes!) 150 grams of used coffee grounds. Sustainable and statement-making is what I like to call them. They're completely waterproof and comfortable enough for me to lounge in them and do my weekly treadmill hikes with them securely on my feet. Read my full review of these unique shoes [4] to get the full picture!" – Sam Brodsky, assistant editor, Fitness
Brooks Ghost 13 Running Shoes
"I've been going on a lot of walks this summer as I work my way back from a running injury, and the Brooks Ghost 13 Running Shoes [5] ($110, originally $130) have been my go-to. These shoes give a lot of cushy support and bounce and I like the all-black look, which goes with just about anything while I'm out and about. My feet are pretty picky, but these have done the job!" — Maggie Ryan, assistant editor, Fitness
