BEST HOKA EVERYDAY WALKING SHOE: CLIFTON

One of Hoka’s more popular models, the HOKA Clifton has reactive cushioning that is lightweight for walkers or people who are on their feet all day. With enough platform to push off from, these shoes can withstand your day whether walking or training for a marathon while also keeping your feet and knees comfortable. The new and improved upper offers breathable flexibility and a gusseted tongue which prevents debris from entering while on your trail walk.

If you’re looking for that plush feel with an outsole that has max impact absorption, check out the HOKA Bondi. This max-cushioned shoe has the perfect mixture between a soft and bouncy step with its lightweight foam. The extended heel helps with stability and the pillowy tongue stays in place during those brisk walks.

BEST HOKA STABILITY WALKING SHOE: ARAHI
