I find that Hokas run large. I’m almost always a size 6 in sneakers and I wear size 5.5 in Hokas.

And, I’d go so far as to say they are the only shoes I can wear walking distances on hard surfaces (on concrete sidewalks, streets and parking lots, in airports, train stations, malls, big box stores, grocery stores etc). That includes days when I’m doing chores inside my house, where I’ve got a lot of hardwood and tile flooring.

The model I wear is the Bondi 7. I was able to get a few pairs at a good discount on Zappos because they were being replaced by the new model Bondi 8. I stockpiled a bit. Recently though, Hoka began to offer the Bondi 7 again, in limited colors. I’m guessing popular demand is the reason!

try Relay Goods https://relaygoods.com/

I've ordered Brooks from them, and they seem legit to me. I got them quickly, and I didn't see any difference from what I usually order from Brooks.

Hoka website has Black Friday sales for $99.

Relay goods has Hoka for under $100 sometimes

Maybe you should look at spellcheck and attitude check.

(-Not OP.)

Bloomingdales. 25% off now.

Rack Room/Off Broadway also carry Brooks. Nordstrom Rack always has Hokas.

You should be able to find some last year’s model Brooks online for less than $100. Te specific models, I like Brooks Glycerin and find them roughly comparable to Hoka Clifton. Maybe worth a try?

Do NOT do this. Don't crowdsource running shoes. Everyone's gait and posture is different. You need to be fitted by an expert. Go to a running store to get fitted if you plan on using them for anything other than walking.

The person who asked the question gave no indication of being a serious runner. This was posted in the Beauty and Fashion forum. She’ll be fine trying a different everyday brand of shoes.

That's true, but Hokas are known for being a running shoe.

NR on L St has some right now. I think the price is around $100.
