The Best Walking Shoe Our Editors Have Tested Is 30% Off for Memorial Day
The best styles are already selling out.
Reported by Women's Health Magazine.
Memorial Day sales are a minefield of mediocre deals masquerading as steals — but if Hoka is hitting your radar right now, pay attention. Several of the brand's most editor-tested styles are currently marked down up to 30%, and a few are already running low on popular sizes. According to Women's Health Magazine, this is genuinely the moment to buy.
The standout: the Hoka Mach 6, which took home the title of best walking shoe at the 2025 Women's Health Fitness Awards. Plush cushioning, a lightweight feel, and subtle heel support make it a strong pick for long walks, daily errands, or anyone who's hard on their feet — particularly heel strikers. With the Mach 7 now on shelves, the Mach 6 is 25% off, but stock is nearly gone. The Bondi 9 is another editor-beloved option — its thick foam midsole and rocker-sole geometry are built for recovery walks and easy jogs, absorbing impact while quietly guiding your stride forward.
Trail, Hike, or Just Living Your Life
If your summer plans involve actual terrain, the lineup gets more specific. The Speedgoat 6 — 30% off in two colorways — is built for trail runners who want grip and speed, and it's one of the few styles still available in a solid range of sizes. For serious hikers, the Kaha 3 Low GTX brings ankle support, a Vibram outsole with 4mm traction lugs, and a Gore-Tex shell that handles rain without turning your boot into a sauna. Prefer something lighter? The Anacapa Breeze Low is a mesh-upper hiker made for summer — breathable, low-profile, and stabilized by an anatomical Achilles construction so you're not sacrificing support for ventilation. The Torrent 4 trail runner, down 20% in four colors, layers a soft cushioned midsole and 5mm outsole lugs for a ride that somehow feels both cloud-like and planted.
For everyday road runners, the Rincon 4 is the stripped-back speed option — upgraded foam, 3mm of added stack height, and a lighter overall build. It's currently on sale in eight colors, which is either a gift or a decision paralysis situation, depending on your personality. And if you just want a casual sneaker that looks good and performs: the Transport, made from water- and abrasion-resistant Cordura fabric, is marked down in three colorways. The Transport 2 is already out, so this version won't be restocked — when it's gone, it's gone.
Hoka's Memorial Day window is short, stock is thinning, and these are shoes that have actually been tested — not just photographed: buy the pair that matches your summer and move on.
