All model names, retailer references, and deal figures in this table come from Travel + Leisure’s October 8, 2025 roundup. Its summary described the Clifton L Suede as 35% off and the roundup’s maximum discount as 48%; these are the publisher’s historical claims, not current sale rates. The Arahi 7 has two different prices in the article: $75 in its detailed section and $103 for the men’s version in the summary. Treat those as distinct reported claims, not a clean head-to-head price comparison.
How to choose among the models
The roundup was a shopping list, not a standardized comparative shoe test. Its descriptions can help narrow the use case, but they do not establish that one shoe performed better than another in measured trials.

#1 Best Overall
For cushioned everyday running or walking
- Bondi 9: The article described a plush EVA midsole, breathable knit upper, and padded 3D-molded collar, and positioned it as a highly cushioned running shoe.
- Clifton 9: The roundup cited responsive foam cushioning, a taller stack, and knit upper, and presented the model for both walking and running.
- Mach 6: Described as a lightweight, responsive road shoe for everyday, speed-oriented training.
- Solimar, Rincon 4, and Kawana 2: These were included among the broader daily-trainer selection; the roundup did not provide comparable testing data for them.
For stability
- Arahi 7: Travel + Leisure characterized it as a lightweight stability shoe. A stability label is not a promise to treat or prevent foot problems.
For commuting, travel, or walking
- Transport: The roundup positioned it for walking, hiking, commuting, and travel, noting toggle lacing, a Vibram outsole, and a water-repellent upper.
- Clifton 9: The source also presented this running model as an option for walking.
For hiking, trails, or water
- Anacapa Breeze Mid: Presented as a hiking boot; the article mentioned a Vibram Megagrip outsole.
- Anacapa Breeze Low: A lower-cut hiking option in the roundup.
- Kaha 3 Low GTX: Listed among the hiking footwear; the model name indicates a GTX version, but the roundup did not supply a standardized waterproofing test.
- Torrent 4: The roundup included it among trail footwear.
- Hopara 2: Described as an amphibious sandal for warm-weather hikes and trails, with water-draining overlays.
For recovery
- Ora Recovery Shoe 2: The least expensive reported item in the roundup at $63, framed as recovery footwear. That historical price does not establish its current price or suitability for a particular injury.
How to check a HOKA deal before buying
- Open the retailer’s current product page and confirm the exact model and generation. A newer model is not automatically interchangeable with the one named in the 2025 offer.
- Select your size and color, then verify the price shown for that specific variant. A headline price may not apply to every size or color.
- Confirm the seller, stock, shipping, taxes, and return terms before checkout. The old retailer links and availability are not evidence of a current offer.
- Compare the shoe’s intended activity and terrain with your needs, including cushioning, stability, water resistance or drainage, and fit or width options. The roundup does not provide a consistent test across these criteria.
What later listings can—and cannot—tell you
A recent REI category listing included HOKA models such as Bondi 9, Arahi 8, Clifton 10, Speedgoat 6 GTX, and Mach 6, with changing prices and markdowns. At the time that page was observed, it showed Clifton 10 at $99.87 against a displayed $155 comparison price and Speedgoat 6 GTX at $118.83 against $170. Those were retailer-page observations, not guaranteed checkout prices, and they do not verify any October 2025 deal. [REI HOKA sale and outlet category]
HOKA’s New Zealand sale category also showed regional pricing for models including Clifton 10 and Bondi SR. Those prices were in New Zealand dollars and are not directly comparable with the U.S. prices in the 2025 roundup. [HOKA New Zealand women’s sale category]
Rank #2
- ENGINEERED MESH
- Lining Textile
Model generations matter when comparing listings: the official HOKA Fall/Winter 2025 product sheet identifies products including Clifton 9, Speedgoat 5 GTX, and Bondi 8, but it does not validate the deal prices or performance descriptions above. [HOKA Fall/Winter 2025 product sheet]
Quick Recap
Rank #3
- The ultra-cushioned game-changer
- One of the hardest working shoes in the HOKA lineup, the Bondi 9 delivers peak plushness for everyday miles. Overhauled from top to bottom, we’ve increased the stack height and added a new premium foam midsole to deliver that soft, resilient ride that’s become synonymous with the Bondi. Elevated with a 3D molded collar and structured knit upper with zonal breathability, this ultra-cushioned cult favorite has been finished with Durabrasion rubber to combat high wear zones.
- Engineered mesh with 55% recycled polyester
- Reflective upper details
- Extended heel pull
