Here at Travel + Leisure, we love highlighting footwear brands that can walk the walk, so to speak. Sure, we love beautiful, aesthetically pleasing footwear, but shoes that also deliver on functionality and comfort tend to catch our attention the quickest. So, it’s no surprise that athletic shoe brand Hoka continues to earn shoutouts across our site for its travel-ready styles. The French-born company is responsible for creating some of the best and most reliable running shoes and walking sneakers to have graced our desks thus far.

But with higher quality often comes a heftier price tag, and Hoka shoes are no exception, with most styles hovering around triple-digit territory. Thankfully, we’ve just discovered some rare discounts on some of the brand’s most popular models hiding in the sale sections at Zappos, REI, Nordstrom, and more. The Clifton 9, for example — one of Hoka’s highest-searched styles — is 20 percent off right now at Zappos, and the best-selling Bondi 8 running shoe is marked down 30 percent. Hurry, though: We can’t promise how much longer certain sizes will be in stock.

Hoka Men’s Clifton 9 Running Shoes

Since its initial release in early 2023, the Clifton 9 has become one of the most beloved and highly-rated shoes among Hoka brand loyalists, and for good reason. Made with symmetrically cushioned footbeds, padded collars, and breathable uppers, these sneakers have earned the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health. On sale for 20 percent off in men’s and women’s sizes, multiple five-star reviewers who struggle with chronic foot pain attest to their comfort. One reviewer with arthritis, bone spurs, and plantar fasciitis shared that the Clifton 9 has been “amazing from the start” and has unexpectedly reduced knee pain during use. 

Hoka Unisex Ora Recovery Mule 

Give your feet some TLC post-run by slipping on the Ora recovery mules. On sale at Nordstrom for 37 percent off in this gorgeous light purple shade, these slip-ons have a ventilated clog silhouette that provides maximum airflow while still keeping your toes covered. Plus, they feature thick, cushioned EVA soles that absorb shock with every step. 

Hoka Men’s Rincon 4 Running Shoes

The Hoka Rincon running shoe, now on its fourth iteration, was designed to be as lightweight as possible without sacrificing the cushion and support necessary for long runs. The new-and-improved Rincon 4 has a bouncier, longer-lasting foam insole, a tighter-fitting upper, and thick EVA rubber outsoles that add extra protection — without the extra weight.

Hoka Men’s Speedgoat 5 Trail-running Shoes

If you’re in the market for a hiking shoe that’s light and comfortable enough to run in, these aptly named Speedgoat 5 trail runners are for you. One feature that makes this beast of a shoe so unique is the rugged, textured Vibram Megagrip outsoles. These traction-lug bottoms provide enhanced grip and added stability across slippery surfaces and loose soil, which helps prevent accidents and falls. 

Hoka Women’s Transport Shoes

The Transport sneakers boast many of the comfortable features — like EVA midsoles and breathable uppers — that Hoka is known for but have a more casual silhouette that’s stylish enough to wear as a daily lifestyle sneaker. Also on sale in men’s sizes, these shoes are versatile enough to wear to the airport, while commuting, and, of course, out running.  

Hoka Women’s Hopara 2 Sandals

Some outdoor adventures — like rainforest hikes and river rafting — call for a rugged sandal, rather than a hiking boot. These amphibious Hopara 2 sandals take the best features of both shoe types, allowing you to traverse muddy puddles, creeks, and muddy patches with ease. Unlike some athletic sandals, these shoes come with laced mesh uppers that fully cover your toes from rocks and debris while still promoting water drainage.

Hoka Women’s Skyline-float X Hiking Shoes

The Skyline-Float X hiking shoes are on sale for 20 percent off in a gorgeous color combination made of aquatic blues, light purple, and neon orange. These hiking shoes have a low-profile cushion bed and rugged outsoles that allow you to better grip uneven surfaces. Many five-star reviewers share that they’re stellar for hikes, with one writing that “these shoes are as comfortable as the Hokas I wear to the gym, and have the traction I need for hiking.” If you prefer a less vibrant colorway (or are looking for a different fit), they’re also on sale in unisex sizes in the colorways White and Golden Lichen / Dark Olive. 

Hoka Women’s Anacapa Breeze Mid Hiking Shoes

Higher shafts equal more ankle stability on hikes. The Breeze Mid version of Hoka’s Anacapa hiking shoe provides extra support for long treks and was specifically engineered for warmer climates. Designed with ultra-ventilated air mesh uppers, compression-molded EVA foam midsoles, and grippy Vibram outsoles that make traversing slippery surfaces a breeze, these hiking shoes will be your new go-to summer hiking shoe. (Psst: Men’s sizes are on sale, too.)

Hoka Unisex Ora Recovery Slide 3

The third iteration of the ever-popular Hoka Ora Recovery slide is currently on sale in eight vibrant colors. These sandals feature the same plush cushioning, wide base, and EVA midsoles found in the OG Ora Recovery slides but with a more futuristic silhouette. Considering five-star reviewers say they feel like “heaven,” they’re a steal at just $48. 

Hoka Men’s Bondi 8 Running Shoes 

On sale for $116, the Hoka Bondi 8 running shoes are a steal at 30 percent off. Thanks to its shock-absorbing foam crash pad and soft, ultrasoft foam interior, these fan favorites are built for long-distance runs. One five-star reviewer attests that they’re “great for being on your feet all day.”
