I have weak knees but this Saucony running shoe supports my joints, and the entire line has a 25% discount—but I've found certain styles reduced by 56%!

I've tested a lot of workout shoes, including sneakers designed for running, weightlifting, conditioning and walking.

Realistically, though, most of us don't have the space or the budget to invest in a shoe for every single activity we do.

That's why I've been on the hunt for a shoe that can do it all.

At the start of this year, I found it: The Saucony Ride 18, which is discounted by up to 56% on Saucony's website right now.

Best Saucony Ride 18 deals

Saucony Ride 18 - Womens
Saucony Ride 18 - Womens: was $145 now $63.71 at saucony.com

This cool white women's sneaker is discounted by 40% already, but if you apply the code CHEER at checkout, it drops down by another 25%, bringing the price to $63.71! That's 56% off the original price. You'll have to move quickly to get it as there is limited availability.

Saucony Ride 18 - Men's
Saucony Ride 18 - Men's: was $145 now $108.75 at saucony.com

Sadly, that 56% discount is restricted to the women's shoe above, but you can still get 25% off all other colorways and sizes by applying CHEER at checkout.

This shoe might be designed for running, but it has become my go-to for every type of movement.

It’s stable enough for dumbbell workouts, comfy enough for long walks and stylish enough to wear casually.

As it’s a run shoe, it has a lot of cushioning underfoot, which means that it feels bouncy and light when you’re jogging.

I also find that it’s super supportive for my joints, which is useful as I have a long-term knee injury and generally weak knees.

The midsole foam is firm, which helps me feel stable when I move around—useful for someone whose knee regularly gives way.

And as it’s so comfy, I often throw the shoe on for daily walks and errands, so it’s definitely my most-worn footwear.
