Best REI Memorial Day Shoe Sales
Not only do our EatingWell editors love a good deal on walking sandals and running shoes, but so do our readers. REI is offering fantastic deals on brands like Chaco and Oofos, not to mention one of the best pairs of shoes we’ve tried, the Hoka Clifton 9 Road-Running Shoes. In fact, it’s the favorite walking shoe of the mom of one of our editors.
Hoka Clifton 9 Road-Running Shoes
REI
Remember how we mentioned that the mom of one of our editors absolutely loves this shoe? Well, she’s over 50 and walks 10+ miles a week in them. So if you’re on your feet a lot, or you’re looking to rack up the walking miles this summer, these Hoka sneakers might be for you.
Chaco ZX/2 Cloud Sandals
REI
These Chacos are new arrivals and already marked down by 25% for REI’s Anniversary Sale. We loved this particular brand of sandal when we tested them—a slightly different model took the top spot as our favorite walking sandal.

Best REI Memorial Day Accessory Sales
If you have a fitness-type trip on the calendar—or really a trip of any kind—these accessories are worth adding to your cart. You can score Memorial Day deals on a JBL portable waterproof speaker to take to the beach or the lake, a high-tech Garmin smartwatch for $100 off and more. Starting at $25, these accessories are a must if you’re an active traveler.
Garmin Venu 3S
REI
This is my favorite smartwatch. I’ve previously worn an Apple Watch and a Fitbit, but the Garmin Venu has been my favorite to date, and I’m two years in with my current model. I love the variety of activities it tracks, and the long-lasting battery life is a real bonus!
BioLite HeadLamp 325
REI
You don’t have to be a camping aficionado to own a headlamp. Having one on hand is great if you like to get outside for a walk or run early in the morning or in the evening after dark.
REI’s Anniversary Sale runs through May 26 and will help you get summer-ready. If you’re looking to save on more workout apparel and walking shoes, check out our recent coverage of Lululemon accessories hiding in the “We Made Too Much” section and a Brooks Ghost 16 sale.
