Best REI Fourth of July footwear deals
Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 20 Women’s Road-Running Shoes
4.4-star average rating from 395 reviews at REI
The Brooks Glycerin sneaker won an NBC Select Wellness Award for best workout shoe because of their prominent cushioning and their super comfortable fit, according to our reviewers. The tongue is thin and molds to your foot more than a traditional tongue, which can move around a lot as you run. The breathable upper keeps your feet both cool, free to move and comfortable, and they have an external lace system, which means the laces don’t touch your feet to reduce friction or irritation, according to the brand.
Balega No-Show Socks
4.8-star rating from 400 reviews at REI
You can pair these no-show socks with a pair of supportive running shoes to help keep your feet safe from irritation and excess sweat, according to the brand. The socks have antimicrobial properties to prevent bacterial growth, ventilated panels on the sides and a seamless to avoid the potential for blisters or other injuries, according to Balega. They also have compressive arch support for additional comfort.
Bridgedale Hike Women’s Lightweight Boot Socks
4.6-star average rating from 11 reviews at REI
If you enjoy going on walks through trails or rocky landscape, consider a good pair of socks to go with your hiking boots, such as these cooling ones from Bridgedale. They have moisture-wicking properties to control sweat and keep your feet cool, but they also provide sufficient comfort as you move thanks to their soft merino wool construction. These socks are great for slipping on during a chilly evening on the patio or backyard, too.
Hoka Arahi 6 Men’s Road-Running Shoes
4.3-star average rating from 1,191 reviews at REI
Hoka makes some of our favorite running shoes for men, and the Arahi 6 are a great option for experienced runners. They have a lightweight and ventilated mesh upper which helps keep your feet cool, according to the brand. Plus, they have an extra-long pull tab to help make taking them on and off easier, and they have maximum cushioning and a durable rubber outsole for outdoor runs, according to Hoka.
Injinji Trail Midweight Mini Crew Socks
4.7-star average rating from 372 reviews at REI
These ankle socks are ideal for walking outdoors, particularly on rocky terrain. The ends of the socks individually wrap around each toe to prevent blisters and other injuries by reducing friction against the skin, according to the brand. They’re made from a blend of polyester, spandex and nylon, and have a medium level of cushioning. The tops are also made of a mesh fabric to promote breathability, according to Injinji.

4.1-star average rating from 59 reviews at REI
This durable headlamp makes it easy to cycle or go for walks once it starts getting dark out. The ergonomic design lets you wear it around your head or neck, and it has a light at the front and a battery pack on the back to help balance the weight of it while you wear it. The headband is hydrophobic, so you don’t have to worry about it starting to slide off if it’s raining or you’re sweating, according to the brand.
Kammok Roo Double Recycled Hammock
4.9-star average rating from 509 reviews at REI
If you’re a fan of stargazing at night or simply love relaxing in something other than a tent, consider this durable Kammok Roo hammock. It fits up to two people at once comfortably and it’s made from sturdy, recycled ripstop fabric that has a weight capacity of up to 500 pounds, according to the brand.

REI Co-op Half Dome Sl 2+ Tent with Footprint
4.2-star average rating from 316 reviews at REI
Every camper should have a go-to tent, and this half dome tent is a great choice. It’s lighter than the previous model, weighing just over 3 pounds, and accommodates up to two people, plus room for gear, according to the brand. The top part of the tent is made of mesh paneling to help with ventilation and the durable ripstop fabric helps prevent drafts from getting in. It’s also equipped with multiple pockets and loops for easy storage.
REI Co-op Flexlite Air Chair
4.1-star average rating from 576 reviews at REI
Cool summer evenings call for gatherings around a campfire or fire pit, so it’s good to have a durable folding chair to bring with you.
