Best REI Fourth of July Sales 2024
Below I’ve rounded up the best deals to shop during REI’s Fourth of July sale. All products below are based on our previous coverage and NBC Select editor favorites and/or highly rated at REI.
Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 20 Women’s Running Shoes
Average rating of 4.4 stars from 395 reviews at REI
The Brooks Glycerin sneaker won an NBC Select Wellness Award for Best Workout Shoe for its prominent cushioning and super-comfortable fit, according to our reviewers. The tongue is thin and conforms to your foot more than a traditional tongue, which can move around a lot while you run. The breathable upper keeps your feet cool, moving freely and comfortable, and they have an external lacing system, which means the laces don’t touch your feet to reduce chafing 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 protect your feet from irritation and excessive sweating, the brand says. The socks have antimicrobial properties to prevent bacteria growth, ventilated side panels and a seamless construction to prevent the chance of blisters or other injuries, Balega says. They also have compressive arch support for added comfort.
Bridgedale Hike Women’s Lightweight Boots Socks
Average rating of 4.6 stars from 11 reviews at REI
If you like to hike through trails or rocky landscapes, consider a good pair of socks to go with your hiking boots, like these cooling socks from Bridgedale. They have moisture-wicking properties to help manage sweat and keep your feet cool, but they also provide plenty of comfort as you move thanks to their soft merino wool construction. These socks are also great to throw on during a chilly evening on the patio or in the backyard.
Hoka Arahi 6 running shoes for men
Average rating of 4.3 stars 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, ventilated mesh upper that helps keep your feet cool, the brand says. Plus, they have an extra-long pull tab for easier on and off, and they have maximum cushioning and a durable rubber outsole for outdoor running, Hoka says.
Injinji Trail Midweight Mini Crew Socks
Average rating of 4.7 stars from 372 reviews at REI
These ankle socks are ideal for outdoor hiking, especially on rocky terrain. The ends of the socks wrap individually around each toe to help 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 uppers are also made from a mesh fabric to promote breathability, according to Injinji.

It’s lighter than the previous model, weighing just over 3 pounds, and can sleep up to two people, plus room for gear, according to the brand. The upper portion of the tent is made of mesh panels to help with ventilation, and the durable ripstop fabric helps prevent drafts from seeping in. It also comes equipped with multiple pockets and loops for easy storage.
