This summer has been packed with discounts on just about every Hoka hiking shoe out there, from the light and airy Speedgoat trail runner to the ultra-durable Kaha hiking boot. The brand’s iconic running shoes rarely go on sale, but Dick’s Sporting Goods has a few surprise discounts on a select few, like the Clifton, Solimar, and now the ever-popular Bondi.
The Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes are currently on sale for $132 at Dick's Sporting Goods — 20% off their regular price of $165. The sneakers have maintained a 4.3-star rating after more than 4,300 reviews, and they're one of the top 3 best-selling styles at Dick's, along with the Hoka Clifton and Brooks' Adrenaline. The Bondi is only available in one color — a beautiful neutral gray-green — but it's available in sizes 8 through 14, but that may not be the case for much longer.

The Bondi 8 is one of Hoka’s best-selling models—in fact, it’s their best, because it offers a huge chunk of cushioning that makes people feel like they’re walking on air. Its lightweight and flexible foam midsole is ideal for short runs on neighborhood sidewalks, but it also works great as a walking shoe and an all-day stand-up shoe. Up top, a breathable mesh upper helps keep feet cool, while strategically placed rubber soles underneath help fight wear and tear, extending the life of the shoe by months beyond the average pair. It’s also certified by the American Podiatric Medical Association as a style that promotes good foot health.
Shoppers wear Bondis everywhere from the runway to the coffee shop, but they’re increasingly popular with healthcare workers who need support all day long. “I’m a physician assistant and I’m on my feet 80 hours a week,” one shopper began. “The Bondi 8 is the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn in the hospital… I used to just buy cheap shoes and wear them until they fell apart, but these shoes are amazing. They have so much more cushioning than other shoes that are popular with healthcare workers. My feet never hurt at the end of my shift.”

Hoka running shoes rarely go on sale, so it's shocking to see the Bondi 8 at Dick's for just $132. If you're shopping for a new pair and you like this neutral tone, grab yourself a pair because when it comes to Hoka discounts, sizes don't last long.
