    With vacation season drawing to a close, many people—including myself—are falling back into a more normal routine, and that includes returning to a workout schedule. Plus, the arrival of cooler weather means it's time to retire sandals, espadrilles, and flip-flops for closed-toed shoes. In summary, 'tis the season for sneakers, and if you're like me, you've worn down your go-to pairs and are in desperate need of some new ones. After all, running, lifting, and even walking in old, over-creased sneakers can lead to slower, more ineffective workouts and even to physical pain.

    For that reason, I've scoured the sales sections of Nike, Reebok, and Nordstrom, all of whom are slashing prices significantly on both fashion and athletic sneakers. Whether you're training for a marathon or a lifting competition, running at the gym or simply walking to the mall, these brands have something for everybody this Labor Day Weekend.
