I’m not sure why Hoka has opted to reduce all of its most popular sneakers right now, but as someone who has been reviewing running shoes for over 10 years, there are two main reasons why I think it’s definitely worth checking out the sale.

One is simply that some great sneakers are going for a song, including some of my favorite running shoes available, like the Hoka Clifton 10 and Mach 6.

The second is that I’ve seen a preview of what’s to come from Hoka in 2026, and in many cases, the current model is very similar, so you’re not missing out on a huge upgrade in performance by opting for the shoe on sale.

All colors of the Mach 6 are reduced, some to $112 and a couple to just $98, which is a great price for this cushioned, lightweight sneaker. I've been testing the upcoming Hoka Mach 7 recently and it only has minor updates on the Mach 6, so I'd defintely opt for the older shoe at this reduced price instead. The women's version of the shoe is also on sale.

Hoka Arahi 8

I didn't expect much from the Arahi 8 when I tested it last year, but it proved to be a very pleasant surprise, which a comfortable smooth ride that carried me through a 20-mile run in marathon training. It's a stability shoe, but works well for neutral runners too, and I've previewed the upcoming Arahi 9 and it doesn't have many updates on the Arahi 8 aside from a new upper.

Hoka Speedgoat 6

The Speedgoat 7 has just launched and does seem to be quite a big update on the Speedgoat 6, with a new midsole foam. However, I ran a lot of happy miles in the Hoka Speedgoat 6 on a variety of terrain in my testing, so would still recommend looking at the older shoe in the sale. Both the women's and men's Speedgoat 6 are reduced to $108.

Hoka Clifton 10 (Women's)

The Hoka Clifton is one of the most popular running shoes from any brand, and a top option for newer runners in particular. It's comfortable, but pretty lightweight, and I enjoyed using the Hoka Clifton 10 for easy and fast training runs. This is another shoe that's not due for a big update in 2026, so don't wait for the Clifton 11, bag this deal instead. The women's Clifton 10 is also on sale.

Hoka Challenger 8

The Hoka Challenger 8 often goes overlooked, but I think it's the most versatile shoe in the Hoka range thanks to its comfort on both road and light trails. I used it for a variety of runs on a variety of surfaces in my testing, and always enjoyed it's cushioned, rockered ride. The women's Challenger 8 is also down to $124 in the sale.
