Top Hoka Shoes for On & Off the Jog

Aug 10, 2023

With a mantra of “Fly Human Fly,” Hoka shoes emerged from the brand’s unwavering belief that if you ignore the doubters, brush off the critics and pour your heart into a wild idea, the possibilities are endless. That’s why the brand created shoes and gear for pro-runners, first-milers, ultra-marathoners, neighborhood walkers and trail runners because every run (or walk) is more than just a physical, athletic exercise. It’s about finding oneself or even losing oneself. And sharing it with as many people as possible is Hoka’s mission, which is why the best Hoka running shoes and the best Hoka shoes for walking are ready and waiting for you in-stores or online at Hibbett | City Gear.

Hoka Clifton 9 Grey & Black Men's Shoe

The ninth iteration of the award-winning Clifton franchise showcases a lighter and more cushioned kick than ever before. Hoka reduced the shoe’s weight, added 3mm in stack height and incorporated a new, more responsive foam outsole design. These features allow the Hoka Clifton 9 to deliver a revolutionary underfoot experience. The brand consciously crafted the shoe to include a more plush heel, reflective panels and streamlined tongue with single-side medial gusset, creating a light, plush and thoroughly enjoyable run.

Hoka Arahi 6 Grape & Pink Women's Shoe

Surprisingly light for a stability shoe, the Hoka Arahi 6 boasts a seemingly contradictory combination of maximum cushioning and minimal weight. Plus, it features a mesh upper with zones of breathability. All these attributes combined make the Arahi 6 a strong candidate for a wide range of runners. With its plush tongue, light upper and new midsole colorblocking, the Arahi 6 delivers the perfect balance of comfort and support
