Why We Love This Deal
Adidas’ roots are in athletics, and the brand’s footwear has been worn by everyone from Olympians to everyday runners. Today, many look to its Adizero lineup that debuted in the early aughts for reliability, including this high stack height runner that’s a whopping half off for a limited time.
The Adidas Adizero Aruku Shoes usually cost $140, but Adidas’ Fall Refresh Sale takes them down to $70. Out of the 10 colorways, only the Silver Metallic/Grey Three/Grey Five option is half off, but the Crystal White/Grey Two/Blue is 20% off if you want a different hue and are willing to pay extra.

What You Should Know
- Upper: Synthetic and textile
- Midsole: Swirlfoam cushioning
- Outsole: Rubber
- Sizes: 4 through 14
This silhouette is based on an older model, the Adizero PR, that dropped in the early 2000s, but this time around, Adidas is hitting it with some modern touches. Up top, there’s a breathable synthetic/textile upper that looks just like the OGs, with a thin rubber outsole to cut weight while still providing traction. The big change here is the chunky rocker-shaped midsole that’s made of Swirlfoam cushioning, giving you exceptional support during walks and runs.

What Owners Are Saying
The best way to test a walking/running shoe’s claims to be supportive all day is to, well, wear them all day. Luckily, one reviewer wrote that they’ve worn the shoes for “one month now and have walked about 75 miles in them,” and said, “They are excellent walking shoes that are both comfortable and supportive.”
There’s also no denying that these shoes have a unique look, and if you’re worried that it detracts from the comfort, you can rest assured that they’ll keep your feet supported all day: “The shape of the shoe is so different, but it feels good to walk in.” Another reviewer said they’re “very sleek and comfortable.”
It can be hard to get a pair of reliably supportive running shoes for under $100, especially from a name brand, which is why the Adidas Adizero Aruku Shoes are a steal for $70. Stock is looking healthy at the time of writing, but over 30 people have grabbed a pair over the last day, and a few sizes are already gone.
