With spring around the corner, there’s no better time to start logging more miles outside—whether that means hot girl walks, casual jogs, or training for your next race. But if your sneakers are looking a little worse for wear after a winter’s worth of treadmill workouts, it might be time for an upgrade. Luckily, several editor-favorite Hoka styles—known for their stacked cushioning—are on sale, including the Mach 6, Clifton 10, and Bondi 9.
Most notably on sale are Hoka’s Mach 6 shoes, starting at under $100, available in 11 colors. “It’s my favorite recovery shoe after long runs because of its flexible, lightweight build and plush cushioning that doesn’t aggravate my knee pain,” writes Fitness Contributor Nicolette Accardi. “The cushioning also doesn’t feel bulky compared to other Hoka models, such as the Bondi 8.”
Also on sale are the Hoka Transport shoes. I love the shoe’s casual lifestyle look, combined with performance details like the quick-toggle lace, which makes this the ultimate commuter sneaker.

The Mach 6 earned the title of best walking shoe in the 2025Women’s Health Fitness Awards—and for good reason. Our editors love its plush cushioning, which helps absorb impact while still feeling light and responsive underfoot. It also offers subtle heel support, making it a solid pick for heel strikers or anyone who wants a little extra stability during long walks or everyday miles.

Our editors named the Arahi 8 one of the brand’s top stability picks, thanks to its supportive feel that subtly helps guide your stride. The shoe’s firm, H-shaped midsole adds structure without feeling overly rigid. After testing it on several runs, our tester noticed her stride felt more aligned and stable, even on longer distances. It’s also lighter and slightly roomier than previous versions, which makes it an easier pick for everyday training.
The Clifton 10 earned the title of best running shoe for beginners in the 2025 Women’s Health Sneaker Awards for its supportive-yet-cushioned feel. Compared with earlier versions, it’s softer and more flexible, which helps create a smoother ride that’s easier on your knees and ankles. Testers also appreciated the roomy toe box and lightweight design—two features that make it especially comfortable for building mileage.

Built for runners who like to mix pavement with dirt paths, this hybrid sneaker balances cushioning with reliable traction. It has a lightweight mesh upper that keeps things breathable, while the reinforced toe cap helps shield your feet from rocks and debris on the trail. The updated lug pattern also improves grip to help you transition between smooth roads and uneven paths.
On sale in this cute Rose Latte color, the Transport Hike GTX is a versatile hiking shoe with a low-profile silhouette. The GORE-TEX bootie is water-resistant and durable, geared towards day hikes and everyday adventures.
The Rincon 4 focuses on lightness with upgraded foams and extra cushioning. This latest version has an added 3mm of stack height to ensure softness, and the upgraded foam provides better rebound. On sale in two colors, these sneakers are great for your everyday runs.
Marked down in ten colors right now, the Transport is a great casual kick that also earns a star for style. Whether you’re hitting the streets or the trails, this shoe delivers impressive traction for walking on any surface. We also love that the material is Cordura, a water and abrasion-resistant fabric. It withstands scuffs and any wear and tear.
This max-cushion sneaker is a longtime favorite among our editors for recovery walks and jogs. During testing, we found the thick foam midsole does an excellent job absorbing impact while still feeling surprisingly stable underfoot. The rocker-shaped sole also helps guide your stride forward, which can make long walks and runs feel smoother—especially if you’re spending hours on your feet.
