The best UK Black Friday deals
Nike Vaporfly 4% Flyknit – £146.47 (was £209.95)
We’re not going to lie, this is a major deal. It may have been advanced by the Nike ZoomX Vaporfly NEXT% but 4% is still a phenomenal shoe that’s seen many a runner tick off a few PBs over the last year.
As well as featuring Nike’s famous carbon plate, it has one of the best cushioning to weight ratios you’ll find out there today and uses Full-length ZoomX Foam to make running very fast extremely enjoyable.
Adidas Women’s Ultraboost 19 – £111.97 (was £159.95)
If you’re looking for a great all-rounder shoe to tick all of your fitness boxes then this modernized version of adidas’ ridiculously popular Ultraboost range is a great shout.

Roclite 315 GTX – £69 (was £145)
Inov-8’s Roclite 315 GTX is by far one of the best trail shoes out there today, offering one of the most durable pieces of kit for tackling tough terrain. As well as GORE-TEX to protect against the weather, the outsole has one of the most impressive grips we’ve come across making it a beast at tackling the worst the weather can throw at you.
Saucony Triumph ISO 4 – Men’s £49.99 / Women’s £39.99 (was £139.99)

It’s one of the heavier running shoes you’ll find (320g for men and 270g for women), so not a great option for racing, but if you want a great deal on a tried and tested training shoe you can’t really go wrong.
Nike Epic React Flyknit 2 – £64.95 (was £129.99)
Another great all-rounder shoe that’s main strength lies in the extremely bouncy Nike React foam outsole. That soft material adds a lot of support as well as a nice level of energy return to road running.
Add to that a breathable upper and some of the nicest shoe designs on the market and you can see why it’s a popular choice for runners as well as people just looking for a comfortable, fashionable pair of kicks.
La Sportiva Bushido Shoes – £60 (was £120)
For any trail runners out there, La Sportiva’s Bushido shoe is killer option if you want comfort, stability and grip over long distances.

Salomon Speedcross 4 – £64.99 (from £110)
As trail shoes go, there aren’t many that have seen the level of kudos given to the Speedcross 4 since it was first released. Incredible grip on the trickiest surfaces, a quick and easy to use lacing system, an impressive level of durability and a light and nimble design.
