It's safe to say Jennifer Garner has a go-to shoe. The actress has been spotted in Brooks sneakers so often that it's hard to keep track of which ones she owns. She's worn both the Adrenaline GTS 23 and the Glycerin 21 while out and about in Los Angeles, and she even wore a pair of Brooks sneakers on the red carpet.

It's not surprising that Garner is a fan of these podiatrist-recommended kicks. Brooks has been making running shoes since the 1970s, so the brand has had a long time to perfect its technique. Over the years, it has introduced new technology designed to make styles that are comfortable for everyone, whether you're a runner with shin splints or you need something that prevents pesky pronation.
Garner isn't the only fan who appreciates the comfort and support that Brooks sneakers offer. Natalie Portman, Reese Witherspoon and Olivia Culpo have all been snapped wearing the brand's athletic shoes.
If you're on the hunt for new sneaks — whether you need to keep up with your exercise goals or stay comfy while running errands or strolling around the neighborhood — now's the time to add Brooks to your shopping list. A bunch of the brand's bestselling styles are on sale at Amazon, starting at just $65 (down from $100!). See what's up for grabs below.

One of the many reasons Brooks has so many fans? The sizing is super impressive. This bestseller is available in whole and half sizes 5-13 and four different widths: regular, narrow, wide and extra wide.
"Best shoes EVER!" raved one fan. "The durability and quality of these shoes are amazing! They're so comfortable and provide great arch support. They're lightweight and the stretchability is like no other shoe I've ever owned. I’m a nurse and this was the best purchase I've made!"
Amazon
Like the look of these squishy, supportive kicks? You can choose from more than 20 colors in sizes 5-12. More than 700 shoppers have given them a five-star rating thanks to the comfortable fit and ample cushioning.
"The best general tennis shoes/walking shoes of my life," one person gushed. "I put them on my feet and I was thrilled. They were easy to wear even without 'breaking in.'"
Amazon
If you can believe it, nearly 10,000 shoppers rated these sneakers five stars. People who like a sleek profile will appreciate the slimmer sole on this style, but they're still very supportive, fans say.
"This is the most comfortable sneaker I have ever had," one buyer wrote. "No breaking in was needed. It is lightweight, slip resistant and soft. This is from a woman that has flat feet, plantar fasciitis and very sensitive feet and toes."
Amazon
Designed with maximum cushion, these sneakers are a great option for people who plan to run or just walk. The sole is outfitted with special technology that "promotes smooth heel-toe transitions," so each step feels smooth and effortless.
"I am a plus-size woman so I was looking for a walking/everyday shoe. This is it!" a comfy customer commented. "The sole is thick but lightweight. This shoe offers me great support for my knees, feet and back. I wear these shoes all day every day and they are holding up very well."

Feeling adventurous? These futuristic-looking kicks are ideal for rugged, uneven terrain. The soles are extra grippy to prevent trips and falls, and the upper is ultra-breathable to keep your feet cool in all conditions.
"Very stable trail shoe that feels light when running on trails. Great for my ankles. Great value," a reviewer wrote.
Amazon
Don't love the look of a thick, chunky sole? Consider this sneaker with a lower profile. According to the product description, it "delivers a springy ride and all-day comfort," and shoppers seem to agree.
"So comfortable for long days on the feet," a buyer said. "I bought these as a medical student who is on their feet for upwards of 60 hours a week. They are perfect and have made my days feel less long. My feet never hurt after a shift in these shoes."
