Amazon's newly announced Big Spring Sale is slated to offer shoppers massive savings on seasonal products, including fitness equipment, spring fashions, and everything you'll need for sprucing up your home. Running shoes are expected to make a big splash during the sale, which kicks off on March 20, but some of the biggest brands have already started to drop prices.

Saucony, Asics, and New Balance are some of the brands offering steep discounts on running shoes ahead of Amazon's spring sale, with some styles discounted by as much as 56% off. Brooks and Altra are also offering deals on their top-ranked road running and trail running styles.

After Men's Journal browsed through the Big Spring Sale's early deals on men's running shoes, we found these five that deserve your attention first.

Saucony Ride 16, From $60 (was $140) on Amazon

The Saucony Ride 16 is a plushy, bouncy running shoe that features the brand's popular foam midsole that's both comfortable and shock-absorbing. This shoe was designed with higher sidewalls that help better contain a foot, making daily runs that much more enjoyable. It's available in over 15 colors in sizes 7 through 15 wide.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I have tried multiple brands and models, and the Ride 16 falls in my top three of all-time best shoes for my half marathons…No more heel pain after long distances! Great pricing considering the high quality. I recommend ordering a half-size bigger than your usual size."

One of the immediately noticeable features of the New Balance Fresh Foam Roav V1 is the full rubber outsole. This, combined with the breathability of the mesh upper and foot-hugging Ultra Heel construction is enough to make this a grippy, comfortable option for running on any surface. It's available in over 30 colors in sizes 4 through 18 wide.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Holy moly, where have you been all my life New Balance? These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! I usually put insoles in my shoes but there's no need with these. So well constructed, too. I see these lasting a long time and when they do finally bite the dust, I will be replacing them with another pair of New Balance."

Asics Gel-Kayano 29, From $85 (was $160) on Amazon

Many Asics loyalists have followed the Gel-Kayano for years because it's a great neutral running shoe with just a dash of extra support. This model has a lot of cushioning, between the plush OrthoLite sockliner and foam midsole, and gives runners the experience they've grown to expect. There's something to be said about consistency.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I am a former athlete who has gotten very out of shape over the last few years. These shoes have allowed me to keep pushing myself on this weight loss journey in relative comfort. They give me the support I need, while also being very comfortable."

Brooks Ghost 15, From $110 (was $140) on Amazon

Currently the No. 1 bestselling road running shoe on Amazon, the Brooks Ghost 15 seems to work for many types of feet. This running shoe features a steeper 12mm drop, which means it props up the heel slightly more than others to better engage forward motion and keep feet, ankles, joints, and hips happier when running. It's also offered in one of the widest ranges of colors and sizes, with over 30 exciting tones and three different widths.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I've got 30-plus running miles in them now almost entirely on roads. So far they've been comfortable and supportive of my heavy frame. They have a slightly thicker cushion than any of my previous running shoes, but I don't feel like it's overdone or that I can't feel the road. Of note, the middle of the heel of the sole is very soft."

Altra Lone Peak 7, From $80 (was $150) on Amazon

While the Brooks Ghost 15 is the top choice in road running, the Altra Lone Peak 7 is currently the No. 1 choice among Amazon's many trail running shoes. With spring unfolding, trails will start to host runners once again who choose to add textured terrain to their routes. This pair boasts multiple tread patterns to its outsole, which is perfect for exposed roots, hillsides, and rock.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I love these shoes. I have tried several boots and trail runners and these are by far the most comfortable. I didn’t like the sponginess of the Hokas or the feeling of wearing platform shoes. The zero drop on these is great with excellent grip. No slipping whatsoever when going over rocky and rough terrain here in the Appalachians."
