Epic Hoka sale live from $12 — here's 13 sneaker and apparel deals I'd shop now

Tom's Guide05-06-2025
Looking to upgrade last season's sneakers and athletic apparel? There's no better time than the present — especially since Hoka is currently hosting a huge sale ahead of summer.
The brand with lightweight, colorful and comfortable kicks, is currently discounting the best running shoes and fitness apparel, including the Hoka Mach 6, which you can snag for $111. You can also grab the Hoka Speedgoat 6 for just $123, which is our favorite trail running shoe.
Ready to trade in your old sneakers for a sparkling new pair? Hoka's sale is the way to go. Below, I've rounded up all the Hoka sneaker and apparel deals I'm adding to my cart now.
They may look a tad alien-like, but these recovery shoes can help ventilate your feet and recover them for your next hike or run. They feature a cushioned EVA midsole and breathable vents. They're available in a variety of colors, although the Cosmic Pearl color (pictured) is the only one on sale.
If you're in the market for a running or training shoe to continue your 2025 fitness goals, the Hoka Solimar is streamlined and balanced for nailing those daily miles. Plus, the extended heel pull at the back means you'll be able to take them on and off with ease — before you change your mind about exercising.
I'd move fast on this shoe since only two colors of the Mach 6 is reduced and some sizes are already sold out. That's not a surprise given the quality of the Mach 6, which is one of the best shoes we've tested in 2025 thanks to the versatile ride of the shoe that delivers both comfort and speed for training runs, or even races.
The Arahi 7 is a stability shoe that offers extra support for runners with flat feet thanks to the J-Frame in its midsole. It's comfortable and durable, and the women's shoe is also on sale in a variety of colors.
2025 might be the year you're planning on hitting the trails and the Challenger 7s are a serious choice for mixing up your terrain. There's protective cushioning for when you want to go faster and a reimagined outsole design means you can use them as all-terrain running sneakers. The women's version is also on sale.
The Hoka Speedgoat 6 is our favorite trail running shoe thanks to its comfortable, lightweight design. The outsole grips well on a wide range of terrain, and the cushioned midsole protects the legs over runs of any distance. The men's version of the shoe is also on sale.
The Stinson 7 is a very cushioned road-to-trail shoe that offers a lot of comfort on both surfaces. It's also a stable shoe that provides a lo of support for long runs, or even hikes.
Whether you're buying them for yourself or as a gift for a runner, these socks are fantastic value thanks their discount. The Hoka Lifestyle Athletic Crew sock is available in a range of colors at discounted prices, with the most affordable dropping to just $12.
These fuschia bike shorts are high-waisted and equipped with pockets to snugly hold your phone and other essentials during your workout. And with such soft, stretchy fabric, we won't judge if you want to just lounge around the house in these.

I ran 40 miles in the Hoka Challenger 8 and it might be the most versatile running shoe I've tested

The Hoka Challenger 8 is an all-terrain running shoe that's designed for training on both roads and trails, with more grip than a standard road shoe and a more comfortable ride than most trail shoes. It's one of the best trail-running shoes available for those who have to pound some pavements to get to and from those trails, and works well as a versatile daily trainer for those who split their time between road and off-road running. While it doesn't have the most exciting or fast ride, I found the Hoka Challenger 8 to have a smooth feel, and its versatile design makes it worth considering for beginners and experienced runners who need a road-to-trail shoe. The Hoka Challenger 8 launched in July 2025 and costs $155 in the U.S. and £130 in the U.K., which is a $10 price rise on the Hoka Challenger 7. It's the same price as the Hoka Clifton 10 road running shoe, and can be seen as a Clifton for the trails in many ways, and also matches the price of the Hoka Speedgoat 6, which is a more specialist trail shoe. The Hoka Challenger 8 is currently available in four colors, including the white model that I tested. It also comes in two widths, though the wide option isn't available in all colors. I found that the shoe fit me well in my normal running shoe size and width, the same size I use across the Hoka range. Like other Hoka shoes, including the Clifton and Arahi, the heel-to-toe drop of the Challenger has increased with this year's version. The Challenger 8 has an offset of 8mm, compared with 5mm on the Challenger 7. It also has a slightly higher midsole stack, and the Challenger 8 is heavier than its predecessor. It weighs 9.7oz in a US men's size 9.5, whereas the Challenger 7 weighs 9oz in the same size. It's still quite light for a trail running shoe, though, which are generally heavier than road shoes because of their more substantial outsoles. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The Hoka Challenger 8 has a mesh upper with a toe bumper to provide more protection when on the trails and some padding on the collar and tongue of the shoe for extra comfort. It's a comfortable upper all round, though if you are frequently running on uneven, rocky trails, a little more protection on the sides and front of the shoe would be welcome. The Hoka Challenger 8 uses a compression-moulded EVA foam in its midsole, similar to the material used on the Hoka Clifton 10. It's soft and comfortable over long distances, though it doesn't provide a huge amount of energy return. A mild rocker helps you to roll through the miles smoothly on even ground, and there are sidewalls of foam your foot sits within to add stability, though the Challenger 8 is a bit softer and less stable than trail shoes you'd use on more technical, uneven terrain. The outsole on the Challenger 8 has been redesigned compared to the Challenger 7 to offer more grip, with 4mm lugs that bite into soft ground quite well in my experience. To ensure the shoe is still comfortable on the road and hard ground in general, the lugs are quite broad, and the grippy rubber used provided good traction on wet surfaces during my runs. While I'd want deeper lugs if I were always running on soft and muddy terrain, the outsole of the Challenger 8 lives up to its billing as an all-terrain shoe in providing reliable grip on a wide range of surfaces. I've run around 40 miles in the Hoka Challenger 8 and used it on a wide range of different trails as well as the road, and tried runs at different paces in it. Along with running on the well-groomed dirt paths of my local forest, I also took the shoe to the Forest of Bowland in the UK for some fell running. The main thing I love about the Challenger 8 is its versatility. You can put it on and head for your run, not knowing exactly what terrain you'll run on and the pace you want to run at, and the odds are it will be fine. It's a great shoe for a trip as a result. My second run in the shoe was a 15-miler where I knew I'd start on the road and then head up a hill, but I wasn't sure what kind of trails would be waiting for me at the top. In the end, it was a real mixed bag of rocky paths, narrow forest trails with wet roots, and flat gravel tracks. Across the whole lot, the Challenger 8 was comfortable and gripped well. I would say that the stack height and soft midsole aren't ideal for the jagged rocky sections I tackled, where it felt unstable and that my foot was rolling from side to side more than I'd like. Shoes like the Speedgoat 6 would be better for that kind of terrain, but if it's just a short section of your run, the Challenger 8 will get you through. For most everything else, though, the Challenger 8 will be a safe bet, and I also found it moved well at faster speeds when I was on flatter trails or roads, so you can use it as a daily trainer for easy and tempo runs on mixed terrain. It's also a good hiking shoe for less challenging terrain where you don't need the support of a full boot, and comfortable for regular walks in urban environments as well. The Hoka Challenger 8 is the kind of shoe that can find a home in any runner's rotation, because its versatility makes it a safe option for all kinds of runs. It's my favorite road-to-trail shoe and a great pick for those who split their time between surfaces. However, that versatility can also count against it, because there are running shoes that are better for any specific kind of run. If you're hitting the mountains or the mud, you'll want a specialist trail shoe like the Speedgoat 6, and if you're just on the roads, then you can get livelier, more comfortable road shoes like the Asics Novablast 5. If its versatility as a running or hiking shoe sounds like it will suit you, I can happily recommend picking up the Challenger 8, and I'll keep it around my rotation for when the need to go exploring on a run strikes me.

_J.L-A.L_ and HOKA Reunite on the Trails

_J.L-A.L_andHOKA's partnership was inevitable. BeforeJean-Luc Ambridge Lavellelaunched his eponymous label, he was already in talks with Thomas Cykana, HOKA's senior director of collaborations. The duo launched atwo-shoe collaborationback in early 2023, reworking the Tor Ultra Boot. Now, it's time for the second chapter of this connection to unfold. TheMafate X, one of HOKA's technical trail runners, is the focal point of this project. While centered around performance, _J.L-A.L_ has applied its nuanced approach to design to merge the worlds of lifestyle and sport. The subtle use of elements like a shimmering finish serve as nods to various points of inspiration, including iridescent sushi. To fully dive into this new campaign, we spoke with Jean-Luc Ambridge Lavelle and Thomas Cykana to learn more about their beginnings and where it has taken them. The first _J.L-A.L_ x HOKA project was well-received by fans of both brands. How did the two parties initially connect? Thomas Cykana: I contacted Jean-Luc when he began designing apparel and hand-cutting patterns. His natural taste and knack for silhouette were unmistakable early on, so we were lucky to launch our debut collaboration on the first day his webstore opened in January 2023. His ability to touch the Tor Ultra made our Paris Fashion Week a success. Jean-Luc Ambridge Lavelle: We connected before I even started the brand. Thomas reached out via Instagram about working together on a project, and throughout the process, _J.L-A.L_ was born. It made sense to release the collaboration within this context. When putting the second collaboration together, what was your starting point? JLAL: The starting point this season was performance and silhouette. We wanted to produce something that met our perspective visually and held weight outside of a superficial value base. Although I'm not a trail runner, I spend significant time in the mountains and frequent trails. This shoe feels like something I would use, and it benefits people on a performance level. TC: HOKA is no stranger to technically crafted products, so focusing on using one of our most innovative shoes was a no-brainer. The Mafate X launched the first carbon fiber plate of its kind within the HOKA range, making it the perfect candidate for this partnership. 'We connected before I even started [_J.L-A.L_].' What makes the Mafate X an excellent canvas for this collaboration? TC: This shoe embodies HOKA's most iconic trail running aesthetic in proportion and figure. Seeing the reflectivity and laces dialed up by Jean-Luc makes this version special. JLAL: For me, it was the levels of texture and engineering. We saw a lot of room to develop it visually and enjoyed honing in on different materials and techniques. What sort of feeling do you hope people get when wearing the shoe? TC: My greatest hope is that this shoe enables the wearer to be freed of their inhibitions, even if only for a moment, and take a leap into the unknown. As a brand made to move people, this collaboration is a testament to our commitment to movement beyond the physical and into the creative and emotional realms. How 'From Earth & Water' combines traditional earthen materials and reshapes perspective is a beautiful expression of what movement can mean beyond trail running. JLAL: On top of this, just enjoying it! Whether visually or in a performance sense. Generally speaking, what is the importance of collaborations to HOKA? TC: Collaborations are about taking the brand to new places and reaching greater heights. Our partners help reveal truths about the brand and unlock opportunities we couldn't otherwise see. Which _J.L-A.L_ designs do you see the shoes best complementing? JLAL: We designed these in conjunction with our Fall/Winter 2025 collection. The color palettes are inspired by multiple elements of the season while staying true to the internal narrative we were developing for the Mafate X. What about _J.L-A.L_ makes the brand a suitable partner for HOKA? TC: _J.L-A.L_ has an eye for detail and an irreverent quirk that perfectly matches our brand. The pattern making, ornamental trims, and elegant utility make for a perfect partnership. How does HOKA fit into the world of _J.L-A.L_? JLAL: I've always respected HOKA. Their design process and approach are against the norm, which is something they've stayed true to. This commitment results in true innovation and feels unwavering in the noise of trends. I respect the approach and hope to maintain a similar dedication to design. The _J.L-A.L_ x HOKA Mafate X will be available on August 22 in both colorways at a price of $250 USD via HOKA and select retailers worldwide. Before that, _J.L-A.L_ is set to host an exclusive pre-release on August 21.
