You don’t have to wait until Black Friday to get a great deal on running shoes. While there are tons of The GTX version is also on sale in going on throughout the holiday shopping season, Hoka has taken over the month of November with a massive 20 percent discount on one of their most popular shoes: the Bondi 8.
The cushioned runner is the star of the ongoing sale; however, it is far from the only shoe Hoka now offers at a reduced price. In fact, many of the most popular options from the company are more than $30 off. What makes this all the more exciting is how many of the shoes on sale are ones our team here at Runner’s World has personally tested and reviewed. Several pairs are mainstays on our list of the best Hoka shoes and across several categories. In fact, some shoes currently discounted are considered to be some of the best for recovery, walking, and cushioning.
Many of Hoka’s shoes are also on sale at Nordstrom, so we’ll include links to both in case one sells out. We’ve also added some shoes exclusively on sale at Nordstrom to ensure you don’t miss the best price on any potential kicks. Whether you’re shopping for a family member or looking to treat yourself, make sure to check out the shoes on sale from Hoka while the deal lasts.
Hoka November Sale 2024
The Bondi 8 stood out to our team due to the high stack cushioning in its midsole. The shoe isn’t meant for breaking any speed records, though we wouldn’t be surprised if you broke a distance record or two. The cushioning completely nullifies any shock on hard roads and has an extended heel for any softer landing. This is your top choice for long distances or just softer recovery runs.
The men’s iteration of the Bondi 8 is very similar to the women’s version, which is also on sale. It is slightly beefier and weighs slightly more than the Bondi 7, but the shoe still maintains the same thick cushioning that our testing team loves. The discount for both the men’s and women’s versions of the shoe is nearly universal, so toggle through to find your correct size if it is sold out in one color.
While less tailored for a run than the Clifton 9, the chunkier Clifton LS subs out some of that quickness for a thicker midsole better equipped for walking. The shoes have a slightly heavier design than their run-focused counterparts, that extra weight is translated into cushioning that supports you for travel days and walks through the neighborhood, no matter the distance.
Health & Injuries Arahi 7 is the right option for you. The updated model comes with a “J-Frame” cushioning that runs along the inside edge of the shoe for a firm, stable fit as you run. The cushioning is also relatively bouncy so you can expect a solid response while running.
The Transport X doesn’t have quite the same style of cushioning as many other Hoka running shoes, though still has much of the same support. The thick midsole is slightly more responsive than other options which is backed up further by the internal carbon plate that provides an extra kick once you pick up the pace. The rocker design also helps keep your momentum from heel to toe.
Give A Gift A Part of Hearst Digital Media are the only thing your feet will want to slip into. In fact, we consider them to be the best overall recovery shoes across any brand we’ve tested. The breathable top is paired with an ultra-cushioned bottom for continuous support when every step feels uphill. Our testers particularly liked the arch support; others even used it to ease plantar fasciitis pain.
This trail running shoe from Hoka balances the brand's thick midsole cushioning with a grippy Vibram outsole with several thick lugs running down the core. The shoes work great for hiking, with the midsole keeping your feet comfortable during long hikes. At the same time, the shoes have enough spring to keep you moving for faster-paced adventures.
The GTX version is also on sale in Women’s sizes.
While you may know the classic Bondi 8 more than many other models on sale, don’t let that keep you from nabbing the shoes that best fit you. Walkers may much prefer the Clifton LS for its beefy cushioning that handles full days out and about while limiting foot pain. If you want a bit more speed during your short runs, consider the Transport X, which has an embedded carbon plate that propels your foot off the pavement. These models may not be as popular as the Bondi 8 but may be a better choice depending on your specific needs.
Hoka rarely offers discounts of 20 percent or more on most of their shoes. Across both their website and for a few models on Nordstrom, there are savings beyond what you’ll see for the rest of the year. If you’ve got running shoes on your holiday shopping list or want a solid pair of kicks to get you through the winter, don’t wait.
