Just found this thread today. Like someone mentioned, chasing the latest version of a shoe right when it drops is usually a losing game because those margins are strictly protected by the brands. In my experience, the technical specs between the newest model and the previous one are often so marginal that you're basically paying a fifty dollar premium for a different mesh pattern or a new colorway. I've tried many different setups over the years and I actually learned the hard way that higher price tags dont always equal better durability. A few years back, I splurged on the most expensive pair I could find, thinking the advanced foam would save my joints during marathon prep. Instead, the outsole delaminated in under 200 miles. It was a total failure. Since then, I focus way more on the reliability of the mid-sole materials and the actual stack height data rather than the marketing hype. The one I got recently was a clearance model and it has actually outlasted every flagship I owned previously. Honestly, sticking to the older versions suggested here is the smartest move for your budget and your knees.

Building on the earlier suggestion, honestly, chasing the latest Ghost 16 right now is a losing game because manufacturers keep the newest iterations at full retail through the holidays to protect their margins. In my experience, the knee pain you mentioned is often exacerbated by the high heel-to-toe drop on the Brooks... the Ghost is typically a 12mm drop which can really hammer your joints if your form isnt perfect. Over the years, Ive found that the real Cyber Monday wins are in the one-version-back technical trainers. Since you need a size 11 Wide, you should definitely look at the New Balance Fresh Foam X 880 v13 Road Running Shoes. Ive logged about 400 miles on mine and the Fresh Foam X provides way better vibration dampening than the Brooks DNA Loft foam. You can usually find the v13 for around $95 to $105 right now since the v14 is the new flagship. Another solid bet for your 5k would be the Asics Gel-Cumulus 25 Road Running Shoes. They moved to the PureGEL tech and a 8mm drop which is a sweet spot for knee health without feeling too mushy. I saw them for $110 on a few sites yesterday. Id jump on the New Balance though... wide sizes are always the first to vanish when the real discounts hit next week. If you wait until the actual Monday, those 2E widths will be long gone.

^ This. Also, forget the Ghost 16 if youre on a $115 budget. You should hunt for the Brooks Ghost 15 Neutral Running Shoes instead. Theyre clearing them out for $90-$100 at most shops. For the knee pain stuff, Saucony Triumph 21 Road Running Shoes are a solid alternative to Hoka and usually hit that $110 price point during these early sales.

> honestly both are sitting at full price everywhere I look I feel your pain!! Snag the Hoka Clifton 9 Road Running Shoes instead, they're amazing for knee pain and way cheaper right now. Perfect for that San Diego 5k!

Does anyone know if there are actually any early Cyber Monday 2026 shoe discounts live right now or is it all just fake hype to get us to click? Im seriously losing my mind looking at these prices and my current runners literally have holes in the soles. Im stuck between the Brooks Ghost 16 and the Hoka Clifton 10 but honestly both are sitting at full price everywhere I look which is ridiculous for early sales. I need a pair before my 5k in San Diego on the 5th and I really cant spend more than $115 tops because I'm already over budget for the month. The Brooks are usually my go-to but I've heard the Hokas are better for knee pain which I've been having lately but then again the Brooks are usually cheaper? Or they used to be anyway. Everything is like 160 bucks now it makes no sense. I checked Zappos and even the local outlet and nothing is marked down yet even though the banners say early black friday or cyber monday. If I wait until the actual day theyll probably be sold out of size 11 wide anyway since that always happens to me. Is there a specific site I should be checking or should I just bite the bullet and buy the Brooks now...
