For those looking for soft, cloud-like comfort underfoot, the HOKA Bondi is a fabulous option. As the most cushioned shoe in HOKA's lineup, the Bondi is perfect for relieving feet and knees from the discomfort of age, long days of work, and the impact of walking or jogging on the joints. Featuring 360 degrees of comfort, the Bondi has a soft mesh upper and memory foam heel collar that matches the feel of the plush foam underfoot.


Best For Stability and Plantar Fasciitis Relief

HOKA Arahi

Many people are familiar with the pain associated with plantar fasciitis, and those who stand and walk on hard surfaces all day are even more likely to deal with it. Whether it's your case or you're someone who just needs a little bit of extra stability, you can try the HOKA Arahi 6. It's a shoe with plenty of underfoot support which helps reduce overpronation. The shoe's midsole and Hoka’s "J-Frame" geometry have been designed to combat the excess rolling of the foot (which results in imbalances in the body and ultimately cause the pain). HOKA added the brand’s "Meta-Rocker" sole, which gives a smooth feeling as your feet roll like in a rocking-chair. You may feel good working in them and in your post-work run.


Best For Casual Style

HOKA Kawana

Whether headed out for a run, working out at the gym, or walking around town, the HOKA Kawana is a versatile running shoe that looks and feels great. With a comfortable and inherently stable design that is suitable for both daily runs and gym session, the Kawana has the style and versatility you need to go from workout to hang out.


Best For Lounging At Home

HOKA Ora Recovery Shoes & Sandals

If you're on your feet all day, you are probably familiar with the overwhelming desire to kick your feet up the moment you get home, but oftentimes, our schedules and household chores don't allow us to do that. Thankfully, the HOKA Ora recovery shoes and sandals are the perfect solution. With amazingly soft cushioning, your feet will feel better the moment you slip a pair of Ora shoes or sandals on. As an added bonus the cushioned support may help speed up your recovery times so you can start the next day with your legs and feet feeling fresh and ready to go.

As a dedicated outdoor enthusiast, Liz grew up doing every outdoor activity except running, but after college, she was roped into her first half-marathon and has been hooked on running ever since. While still easily convinced to join in a marathon, half-marathon, or trail race, Liz is most often found mixing a run on her local trails or neighborhoods between mountain bike rides and rock climbs.
