What everyone's reading
What makes the Black Friday 2025: Dates, deals and what to expect such good value? In a word: versatility. This mid-weight, neutral daily trainer is designed to cope with the majority of your regular weekly miles, particularly the 80% of lower intensity efforts that should be filling your running schedule. Or if you’re running for the health and mood-boosting benefits.
I’ve run hundreds of miles in the Black Friday 2025: Dates, deals and what to expect, firstly in testing, but it quickly became a go-to running shoe for when I wanted guaranteed comfort and a ride that maybe isn’t the most energetic but is reliable.

It’s protective but not pillowy, sinky soft. You wouldn’t lace it up for your fastest training runs but there’s a bit of snap that means it can handle everything up to tempo. Not to mention, excellent disappearing comfort from a nicely roomy fit that’s good for longer time out on the grind.
Balanced and brilliant value

That keeps the Ride 17 light enough to work for more than just your slowest runs.
This is what I’d call a workhorse — the kind of shoe that's an easy choice for when you’re heading out for a 'clear your head' kind of run.
It’s also an excellent choice for beginner runners or if you’re looking for one shoe to do it all up to race day.
This Black Friday discount brings the Black Friday 2025: Dates, deals and what to expect to its lowest price ever — well under £100. sales. In an era of super trainers, the.
