Hoka's secret sale: score cushioned kicks up to 35% off
The footwear landscape rarely yields genuine discounts from brands as coveted as Hoka. Yet, here we are: the performance powerhouse has quietly begun clearing out select styles, offering a surprising opportunity to snag top-tier running and walking shoes at significantly reduced prices – up to 35% off. But move quickly; these deals won’t last.
The models you need to know
The current refresh of Hoka’s clearance section is, admittedly, selective, encompassing just over 100 items. However, the picks are potent. The Bondi 9, a perennial favorite for recovery runs and all-day comfort, is currently marked down 20% to $140. For those seeking a bit more pep in their step, the Clifton 10 (also 20% off at $124) earns high praise from our senior entertainment editor, Brady Langmann, who describes it as “squishy enough to protect your joints and bouncy enough to give you some energy return on a run, without leaning too far in either direction.”
Speed demons will appreciate the Mach 6, now 25% off at $105. It’s available in a classic black-and-white colorway – a failsafe choice for any runner. Beyond the performance-focused models, everyday essentials like the Transport (30% off, $105) are also included, lauded by our ecommerce editor, Luke Guillory, as “simultaneously his best workout, running, and hiking shoe.” The Transport’s easy toggle design makes it exceptionally versatile.
And for those post-workout moments, or simply those days when maximum comfort is the goal, Hoka’s recovery slides are a must. The Ora Slide 3, boasting the brand’s signature EVA-injected outsole and Meta-Rocker technology, is a steal at $39 (35% off). The Ora Mule, equally plush and propelled by the same innovative tech, is also discounted at 20% to $64.
The scarcity of sizes is already becoming apparent—a common phenomenon with Hoka releases, especially discounted ones. The brand's following is clearly devoted, and they’re ready to pounce. But, with swift action, securing the Hoka shoes you've been eyeing—or perhaps even complementing your collection with a sleek running jacket—is still within reach. Don’t hesitate; the best deals are vanishing as quickly as they appeared.
