These Labor Day Hoka Deals Will Put a Literal Spring in Your Step
2 min readI’ve tried plenty of athletic sneakers over the years, but Hokas remain longtime staples in my collection. As someone with scoliosis who needs extra back and joint support—especially when I’m pounding the pavement—I personally love the super-plush yet stable ride they provide, thanks to the brand’s oversized foam midsole and Active Frame technology, which helps cradle the foot and keep it properly aligned. Coupled with the shoes’ astonishingly lightweight build, it’s easy to see why several Hokas have earned the American Podiatric Medical Association’s seal of approval for promoting good foot health.
Back in the day, I owned one of the earliest iterations of the ultra-popular Bondi line, and I credit it in large part with helping me get into running for the first time. I’d historically shied away from the sport because of the intense impact I felt in my spine, particularly when running outdoors. While no Bondis are currently on sale for Labor Day weekend, the upside is that a handful of the brand’s other bestsellers are.
Though the discounted selection is relatively tight, you can grab styles like the snappy Mach 7 and Gaviota 6—the latter ideal for anyone with wide feet or in need of maximum stability—for 20 percent off at Hoka.com and retailers like Zappos. And while it’s now a season old, the iconic Clifton 10 can be yours in a slew of colorways for up to 36 percent off. (FYI: Taylor Swift is even famously a fan of the Clifton 9.) A nice middle ground between the brand’s slightly firmer options, like the aforementioned Mach 7, and ultra-stacked silhouettes, like the Bondi 9, the Clifton 10 combines perfectly pillowy cushioning with signature MetaRocker geometry that helps propel you forward with every step. That makes it as great for standing all day as it is for marathon training.
Hoka is known for stealthily adding new styles and colorways to its sale section, but they rarely stay in stock for long. Act fast to grab what you like below before it disappears.
