Start the Year with a Fresh Pair of Running Shoes—Hoka’s Bondi 8 and Mach 6 Are Up to $100 Off Today

Two years ago, when I was in the hospital for back surgery, I noticed that every single nurse was wearing Hoka shoes, so when I got home I promptly ordered a pair. They are by far the most cushioned sneakers I’ve ever owned and have lasted through miles upon miles of recovery walks and—eventually—runs.

Right now, Hoka is having a holiday sale which includes its best-selling Bondi shoe, the dynamic race shoe Mach 6 (next on my list), and even cozy half-zip fleeces and jackets. If you’re looking for a holiday gift or want to outfit yourself, these are the eight items you won’t want to skip. 

Best Buys from Hoka’s Holiday Sale

Bondi 8

I just replaced my Bondi 7 with the Bondi 8 this year. They’re best for everyday walks and casual runs, thanks to its lightweight-yet-plush cushioned foam and crash pads at the heels. In fact, the cushion is quite high, making it a great option for those who need a little joint relief. 

Mach 6

Hoka’s streamlined Mach running shoe features a foam midsole for added support and comfort whether you’re pounding the pavement or the treadmill. These have a slightly narrower imprint than the Bondi, so they are often preferred by racers. 

Kaha 2 Low GTX

Get all the cushioned support of everyday Hokas with a little extra traction for taking on those muddy, slushy trails during the winter. These hiking shoes have sturdy soles and are water repellant, so weather won’t get in your way. 

Hopara 2

In the dead of winter, it’s hard to imagine wearing sandals at all but it’s also a great time to invest in a pair. The Hopara 2 have an open heel but otherwise function and feel like wearing a hiking-tennis shoe, which creates a strong base for wandering the trails in the spring and summer. They’re also water repellent and quick drying, so you can ford that stream without a care in the world. 

Ridgetop Half-Zip Fleece

While Hoka is truly known for their supportive sneakers, they make some top-notch athletic wear. Available in a cozy eggnog white or a swirly yellow, this fleece half-zip is a perfect addition to your closet whether it’s for lounging around or slipping on for a cold-day run. 

Ultralight Waterproof Jacket

Stay dry as a bone while running in the rain with this light jacket that won’t restrict your movement or make that distracting swishing sound when you pump your arms. It’s packable down to a little pocket, making it ideal for travel, and has a drawcord hood, articulated sleeves, and added reflective details for visibility. 

Elaro Knight Tight

While you’re shopping for athleicwear, you shouldn’t skip out on its clothing. These leggings are soft, stretchy, and made for just about every activity. Plus, it comes with a side pocket to hold phones or credit cards. 

Outseeker Down Jacket

Yes, Hoka makes a puffer jacket and it’s as warm as it is attractive. Available in violet with an orange lining or rust with a pink lining, it’s filled with ultra-light down and is water resistant. Pop it on to head to the store or for a stroll on a snowy day.
