Prime Big Deal Days are here. During the 48-hour sale, which is exclusive to Prime members, sneakers will be discounted. You can also find deals on beauty, tech, household essentials and more.

I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day sneaker deals -- each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20% off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months or lowest price ever. I'll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
