On Black Friday, the biggest discounts on sneakers and other shoes come from running, outdoor and tech-driven lifestyle brands. Here's what to look for when choosing.

One of America's oldest running brands, with cult status among amateurs and pros alike. The US has both marathon series and the retro Originals line.

A favorite among American hikers and long-walk fans. Keen's signature feature is a patented rubber toe bumper that protects your toes from rock bumps.
German orthopedic classics and a year-round hit in the US. American stores carry many exclusive colors, narrow and regular fits, and insulated shearling versions.
The world's largest sports brand, with the strongest running lineup. In the US, the Nike catalog is more complete, and prices for running models are lower than in Europe.
An American classic with a wide choice of widths and a premium Made in USA line. In the US, the range of models and widths is noticeably larger.
For HOKA, Brooks, Altra and Saucony running and trail shoes, it's better to watch Running Warehouse, Fleet Feet, Road Runner Sports and outdoor giants REI and Backcountry, where discounts stack with club coupons.
In the US, shoe width is specified: B/M is standard women's, D/M is standard men's or wide women's, 2E/Wide is wide, and 4E/X-Wide is extra wide. This helps you find a perfect fit.
Lines are updated every year. As soon as the Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 comes out, last year's Speed 4 is discounted by 40-50% on Black Friday, even though it's almost as good technology-wise.
Shipping to the Prostobox warehouse in tax-free Delaware removes Sales Tax (0%): on a pair of high-tech sneakers worth $150-200, that instantly saves you $15-20.
If a store doesn't accept foreign cards, an operator will buy out your order with a US card while the item is still in stock.
