From marathon starting lines to country trails to trendy coffee shops, Hoka running shoes are everywhere these days. It’s easy to see why: Styles like the Clifton and Bondi, among others, are renowned for their smooth ride and comfortable feel. They’re not cheap either, often costing upwards of $150. But if you know where to look (in this case, Dick’s Sporting Goods), you can sometimes find a surprise sale, and right now is one of those times.
The Hoka Solimar Running Shoes are on sale for just $94 at Dick's Sporting Goods, 25% off their original price of $125. These everyday workout shoes have a 4.3-star rating after nearly 400 ratings, with reviewers saying they're “very lightweight and comfortable,” and many saying they're also great for walking and traveling. They're available in two colorways: Black/White and Slate/Forest Cover, and are available in sizes 8-14, but we expect them to sell out very soon.

This lightweight, everyday training shoe offers the well-cushioned ride that Hoka shoes are known for, but it’s still flexible and responsive, so it doesn’t feel too soft underfoot. It features the brand’s signature compression-molded EVA midsole—the source of that cushioned feel that people rave about—and is paired with an EVA sockliner for added cushioning. The comfort continues with the rocker shape of the sole, helping you flow easily from landing to toe-off, while a mesh upper on the upper helps wick heat away to keep your feet from getting scorched, and a padded ankle collar and extended heel tab provide a snug, irritation-free fit.
As expected from Hoka shoes, reviewers were blown away by its comfortable ride, but they also loved its low weight. One shopper said it was “so soft on the inside, it’s like you’re walking on clouds.” Another described the Solimar as “very comfortable and lightweight, more like a running shoe should feel.”

“These shoes are incredibly comfortable, fit perfectly and are so light I don't even know I have anything on,” said another customer.
Several reviewers also noted that the Solimar relieved chronic aches and pains in their feet. “They were so light and comfortable that I had no foot pain at all,” said one customer. “If you’re looking for a great, comfortable everyday shoe, look no further.”
Hoka shoes like the Solimar aren't cheap, so finding a versatile pair for under $100 is a great opportunity. Just make sure to add a pair to your cart today, because if there's one thing we know about Hokas, it's that people love these shoes, and when they go on sale, they sell out fast.
