I test walking shoes for our best walking shoes guide and have been keeping an eye out for discounts on my favorites. Of my top nine in the guide, five are currrently discounted for Amazon Prime Day, including the shoe in the number one spot, the Hoka Bondi 8. 

Amazon Prime Day can be a great time to invest in some good footwear, as we often see discounts from big names like Adidas and Brooks. Unfortunately, there won't always be a deal in the size and style you're looking for, so it tends to be a game of Amazon shoe-roulette. 

I've rounded up the deals I've found with the best discounts below. Read on to see how much you can save on walking shoes this Prime Day.

Save up to 17% You can save close to $30 on these bouncy, cloud-like trainers from Hoka, depending on the size and color you select. I rated these shoes 5/5 stars when I tested them, so even at full price, I think they're worth their weight in gold.

Brooks Ghost 15 Men's: was $109.95 now from $99.95 at Amazon

Save up to 9% For under $100 you can bag one of the top-rated shoes from Brooks. I actually prefer the Brooks Ghost 15 to the Brooks Ghost 16, so although they're a generation behind, I think they're the more comfortable option. As is often the case with Amazon, the discount you can get depends on the size and design you pick.

Hoka Bondi 8 Women's: was$165,now from $144 at Amazon

Hoka Bondi 8 Women's: was $165, now from $144 at Amazon

Save up to $21 My favorite thing about the Hoka Bondi 8 is the amount of energy return you get with each step. It's as though you're walking on clouds, which is ideal for a long day walking on concrete, or if you work on your feet and want to keep them comfortable and cool.

Brooks Ghost 15 Women's: was $109.95 now from $99.95 at Amazon

Save up to 9% I rated the Brooks Ghost 15 a 4.5 out of 5 stars when I tested them, and I'm not the only one. It's a great time to buy your own pair (superior in my opinion to the newer Ghost 16 model) with discounts on multiple colors and sizes for Prime Day. Brooks also offer a range of width options, making them a great brand if you have particularly narrow or wide feet.

How to choose the right shoe for you

Before you buy, consider how much cushioning you want from your walking shoes. I like to have a really high level of cushioning in my shoes, to relieve the pressure on my feet when walking. I also like it when this cushioning is cleverly zoned to provide extra comfort where I need it. 

Breathability and weatherproofing are especially important for walking and the ideal shoe design for you will vary depending on your climate. Consider if you need waterproof shoes, more grip to deal with wet pavements, or light, breathable mesh uppers to keep your feet cool in the heat.

You'll also want to think about getting a secure fit, ensuring that both the sole and the rest of your foot are able to move without sliding around inside the shoe. Several companies offer narrow and wide options so you can pick the model that's right for you. You might also want to consider a shoe that doesn't have intrusive seams to avoid chaffing and blisters.
