Step into style with these discounted Bondi 8 sneakers. (Zappos)
Hokas are one of the most popular brands of walking and running shoes for a reason. The ultra-cushiony footwear brand is known for being incredibly comfortable and supportive and for its bold, bright, eye-catching colors. If you've been wanting to try out a pair for yourself, now is the time! The Bondi 8's are one of the brand's most popular styles (they even made our list of Best Walking Shoes for Women this year) and they are currently on sale across a number of retailers in both men's and women's sizing.
Normally priced at $165, you can grab them for as little as $82 right now. But you'll have to hurry, certain colors and sizes are already selling out, so be sure to snap up your faves while you still can.
The Hoka Bondi 8 sneakers are not only highly rated at every retailer where they're sold but they are also loved by podiatrists and even our own editors. Yahoo Commerce Editor Saundra Latham packed them for a cruise where she walked over 15,000 steps a day. "They're ultra-cushioned, with a flexible upper that's almost sock-like, so it molds to my foot," she said.
These sporty kicks have a super thick insole and weigh less than 9 ounces, making them a great option for anyone whose feet need ultra-plush cushioning. Other key features include engineered mesh construction, an Ortholite hybrid sock liner, a lightweight foam insole and a rubber outsole.
Latham noted that the upper is flexible, so "you do have to loosen the laces a fair amount before putting them on." But the comfort makes them worth the extra seconds, she said. Latham also added, "I've dealt with some plantar fasciitis in the past and would definitely turn to these if I ever have a repeat bout because they're so cushioned." Dr. Hillary Brenner, New York-based podiatrist and foot surgeon, is also a fan telling us, "These are my personal favorites because of the EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) foam midsole, which is excellent for shock absorption. It's an excellent shoe in regards to support."
The fan-favorite sneakers are no longer available at Hoka's own website — they've been replaced with the newer Bondi 9 version (which features upgraded cushioning, 2mm more in height, a retooled collar and a new version of the knit upper). But if you still want to give the older versions a try, we've found limited stock available at a variety of other retailers for as little as $82.
Here are all the Hoka Bondi 8 sneakers sales we've found on sale today.
You can save the most on Bondi 8s — up to 50% off — at REI right now. They've got seven men's colors still available and three women's, but sizes are selling out quickly.
Outside of REI, Zappos has the steepest discounts on Hoka Bondi 8 we've found. But they also have the most limited inventory and discounts vary by color and size.
Nordstrom has Bondi 8s for up to 30% off. While they have the most color combos still available the inventory for sizing is quite limited. So, if you see your size in your preferred colorway — act fast!
