Everyone deserves a comfortable pair of shoes, even if they aren't the leader of the free world. (Nordstrom, Hoka, Dick's, Zappos)
If you love to get your daily steps in or simply value comfy shoes, you've probably heard about Hokas from a doctor, friend or fellow walker.

If you've seen a pair of Hokas in the wild, there's a good chance they were Cliftons. Unbelievably comfortable, lightweight and supportive, they're our best walking shoes for women this year, and you can score this springy style for 35% off. There are 10 styles to choose from and they're all down to $94 — the lowest they've been in 30 days. But you'll have to act fast, as certain sizes and colors are selling out fast.
"They're absolutely cloud-like," raves Deputy Editor Izabella Zaydenberg. "They were the only shoes that didn't exacerbate my plantar fasciitis (especially when I walked for hours at Disneyland)."
Race to grab these runners at nearly $30 off, their lowest price in 30 days. With a shock-absorbing midsole and tons of cushioning, they'll see you through your daily walks or treadmill adventures.
"After many months and many attempts to find shoes that would help me heal my plantar fasciitis, I discovered Hoka and the Arahi 7. I was amazed at how light the shoes are and even more amazed with the support and comfort they provide my feet. I immediately felt that these shoes put me on the path to rapid healing and I was right," wrote one happy shopper.
These ultra-breathable hikers boast a mesh knit upper with perforations that let air in and keep your feet from overheating as you work up a sweat on the trails. Thick soles promise to keep you stable on slick ground, while an extended heel provides stability and an overall smooth ride.
Even customers with foot ailments love these comfy, supportive kicks. "I purchased these because I've been having issues with sciatica and leg pain. These are the only shoes that won't make my pain flare up as severely. They are very comfortable and also super cute! I've gotten lots of compliments," raved one.
Did you know that Hoka makes ultra-comfy sandals too? These unisex slides have airflow channels built into the strap for breathability, and certain colors are on sale just in time for spring.
Dr. Polina Zaydenberg, a New York-based podiatrist, explains why these slides feel so great on your feet: "The sole has a rocker bottom, which is helpful for people who have metatarsalgia because it helps with propulsion. And the sole is also a good shock absorber."
Check out these ultra-lightweight sneakers that weigh in at just 6.81 ounces! With their soft, stretchy, and breathable upper and a padded tongue, they offer an incredibly comfy fit. We’re absolutely in love with the cream color — it’s super versatile and goes with just about anything!
Even people with foot issues are singing their praises. "I had surgery on both my feet so hard to find a shoe that works for me. These shoes are supportive and comfortable," wrote one five-star reviewer.
These all-purpose trainers are specially designed to transition from outdoor runs to high-energy HIIT workouts at the studio. They feature a plush tongue and collar, and an ultra-cushioned insole for extra comfort. And guess what? This week, you can grab this pretty aqua style for under $100!
One five-star reviewer wrote, "I'm 55 years old and this shoe changed my life. I got a part-time job in retail after a 12-year hiatus and I thought I was going to have to quit because I couldn't take the pain from my feet. A friend highly recommended Hokas, so I took her advice and bought a pair. GAME CHANGER! I've already convinced five of my friends and both of my sisters to get them!"
Meet one of the brand's most popular pairs of kicks. These lookers have amassed tons of five-star ratings from shoppers and made our list of the best Hoka shoes for walking. At less than 9 ounces, they won't weigh you down on a trip despite their ample support. Yahoo Commerce Editor Saundra Latham packed them for a cruise, walking over 15,000 steps a day in them: "They're ultra-cushioned with a flexible upper that's almost sock-like, so it molds to my foot," she said.
These sporty sneaks with ultra-plush padding have the thickest insole of the shoes on this list. While the brand recently unveiled the new Bondi 9 sneaker, you can still get certain colors and sizes of the Bondi 8s at a nice discount.
If you're looking for a pair of shoes to get you through long travel days when you have to walk a lot, look no further than Hoka Transports. The cushy insole will help you get through an entire day on your feet, while the reflective details will help you stay visible if you have to make the trek after dark. Another travel-friendly feature: They have toggle laces, making them easy to slip on and off at airport security.
Owners say they are "absolutely worth every penny" even at full price, but right now you can snag a pair for as little as $120.
