Hoka's 'Amazing' Walking Shoes That 'Have So Much More Cushion' Than Other Sneakers Are A Super-Rare 20% Off

This summer was filled with discounts on almost every Hoka hiking shoe, from the light and breezy Speedgoat trail runner to the ultra-durable Kaha hiking boot. The brand's iconic running shoes very rarely go on sale, but a select few have received surprise discounts at Dick's Sporting Goods, including the Clifton, the Solimar, and now the ever-popular Bondi.

The Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoe is on sale for $132 at Dick's Sporting Goods right now—a rare 20% off the normal price of $165. These sneakers have maintained a 4.3-star rating after more than 4,300 votes, and they're a top 3 bestselling style at Dick's along with the Hoka Clifton and Brooks' Adrenaline. The Bondi is only on sale in a single color—a nice neutral gray-green tone—but it's available in all sizes from 8 to 14, though that may not be the case for much longer.

Get It

The Bondi 8 is one of Hoka's bestselling models—if not the top dog—because it offers a massive stack of cushion that makes people feel like they're walking on air. Its light and bouncy foam midsole is ideal for pounding neighborhood pavement on short runs, but it's also great as a walking shoe and a shoe for standing all day. Up top, a breathable mesh upper helps keep feet cool while underneath, strategically placed rubber inlays help fight abrasion, extending the life of the shoe months beyond the average pair. They're also certified by the American Podiatric Medical Association as a style that promotes good foot health.

Shoppers wear the Bondi everywhere from the track to the coffee shop, but it's becoming increasingly popular among medical workers who need all-day support. "I am a resident physician and am on my feet for 80 hours a week," a shopper began. "The Bondi 8 is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn in the hospital…I used to just buy cheap shoes and would wear them until they fell apart, but these shoes are amazing. They have so much more cushion than other shoes that are popular among healthcare workers. My feet aren't sore at all at the end of my shift."

Hoka running shoes rarely go on sale, which is why it's shocking to see the Bondi 8 for just $132 at Dick's. If you've been shopping for a new pair and you're into this neutral tone, grab yourself a pair soon, because when it comes to Hoka sales, sizes don't hang around for long.
