Our Three Cents

Weed through the Rack online clutter to find Hoka shoes on sale.

First, I like checking the Rack online because they have the deepest discounts on older, uglier Hoka shoes. For example, right now they have the Ora Recovery Slide 3 sandal for just $17. The main downside of the Rack is the available Hoka sizes: the more common sizes sell out fast, and really giant and really tiny linger for ages. Still, if you’re willing to weed through the clutter, their Hoka discounts are unbeatable. Some shoppers also swear by shopping in-store for even cheaper Hoka shoes on sale, but I’ve never found these mythic Hokas in the Rack wild.

Check fancy Nordstrom.

Fancy Nordstrom sometimes has better Hoka deals than their Rack ugly cousin, and they stock better colorways and sizes. For example, I just bought the 2026 Hoka Solimar 2 in 10D, which hasn’t gone on sale so far anywhere else, for about $93 last week – a 25% discount. In the past, I also picked up the Women’s Hoka Chukka Transport for just $120 when the shoes was still going for $160 literally everywhere else. So when it’s getting close to new shoe time, I start browsing pretty Nordstrom. With a little patience, I can save $30-$50.

Visit Dick’s Sporting Goods in-person and look for clearance stickers.

Skip the Dick’s Sporting Goods website and visit their shoe section in-store to find Hoka shoes on sale. They mark down certain colors and don’t list it on online. Check the shoe for a clearance dot sticker and then be prepared to ask the shoe associate how much it costs.

Clearance prices also vary by location, so if there’s another Dick’s nearby, they might have different Hokas on sale. Back in the day, right after the Bondi 8s came out at $165, I snagged a pair for a mere $75. They were fugly bright orange, but I saved $90 and clumped around in my Puffin Bill/Amber Yellow shoes proudly. I also got the Hoka X LD Track and Field spikes for $12.90 – a whopping 90% off the retail price of $127.97, and here’s the receipt to prove it.

Keep checking 6PM.com for Hoka shoes on sale.

Amazon’s forsaken child, 6pm.com, gets the leftovers of leftovers from Zappos. They used to have a wider selection, but I can still find some great Hoka shoe sales. For example, I just found the Women’s Hoka Transport shoes in White in my size 11B for $75. I wavered on buying them and two days later, they were sold out. The moral of the story: somebody else is probably trying to buy Hoka shoes on sale and has the same size feet as you. The only thing I don’t like about 6pm is that they charge $3.95 shipping under $100, and they don’t have free returns.

Try REI Outlet.

REI Outlet Hoka sales are annoying. They drastically drop prices in one fell swoop and then seem to abstain from worthwhile sales for months. For example, I bought a pair of Hoka Solimar shoes at REI for only $61. This was at the end of 2025, when the model was just starting to go on sale because their successor was about to drop. Still, REI had them for about $30 cheaper than anywhere else, and the associate even said, Wow, you got a really good deal on these.

But since then, REI’s Hoka sales have been terrible. For example, the discontinued Women’s Hoka Transport is still sitting at $120 as of this writing. Other stores have been selling these same shoes for $100 for months now, and we just saw they’re $75 at 6pm. So with REI, make sure you know the average sale price elsewhere.

Search Google by size.

Don’t even go to Google Shopping — just go to the regular Google search and type in the exact shoe name with the size and the words “sale” or “clearance” attached. For example, I’ve been searching for “Hoka Solimar 10D clearance” because I want another pair before they disappear.

This tactic will pull up specific listings of Hoka shoes on sale from random boutique stores, e.g. Cleary’s Shoes, where I just got the Hoka Chukka Transport in 11B for $85. Shipping sometimes kills the deal from these smaller sneaker shops, but sometimes you’ll luck out and find a Hoka shoe they really want to clear from their stock.

With this Google method, you do have to be wary of phony sites. If the retailer’s name is something like hokaxyzbestdeals, and their Hokas cost $39.10, it’s probably a scam.

Subscribe to Woot Daily Deals.

Woot used to have deeper discounts on Hoka shoes, which would sell out almost immediately. Now they tend to have more Hoka shoes available more frequently, but on less of a discount. Prices are typically 10-15% lower than retail. The real hack is to wait for a 10-15% coupon stacking deal, which happens about every two months. With it, you’ll get a popular pair of Hoka shoes for 20-30% off.

Pro tip: since you can’t search Woot itself, search the Woot forums to see past Hoka Sale Events. You can also sign up for Woot’s Daily Deals digest to get notified when they have another Hoka event.

Other places that sometimes have decent deals on Hoka shoes.

Check Shop Simon, cautiously.

This is one of my last resort searches because Simon Outlets 3rd-party listings can be really sketchy. I’ve seen $150 Hokas marked-up to $350 on this platform. On the other hand, they often have coupon codes that can turn certain pairs into a decent deal if you’re desperate for new shoes. Do your due diligence on Shop Simon. (Shhh, don’t tell Hoka, but I also found the Adidas Adizero EVO SL running shoes here for just $49).

Try Sports Basement.

Sports Basement listings don’t show up on Google Shopping, so you have to manually go to their site. Their gear is often full retail price, but they’ll sometimes have a Hoka sale, like when I snagged the Clifton 9s for a mere $99. I recently checked out their in-store prices, and while they had some extra markdowns on certain models, the sizes were limited and the discounts weren’t really worth my time driving there. So, I check Sports Basement periodically, but I don’t rely on it for the best Hoka shoes deals.

eBay is a maybe for Hoka shoes on sale.

I know people swear by eBay, but I’ve never found a sweet sale on Hoka shoes on there. With my popular shoe size – 10D – prices aren’t particularly low to start with, and the $14.95 shipping/authenticity fee kills the deal. (Knock-off “Nokas” and “Fokas” were so rampant, now any legit Hoka shoe has to pass an eBay authenticity check.) eBay Hokas also always look a little rough around the edges, like they’ve seen a few too many feet.

Get them direct from the Hoka’s mouth.

Also, get rewards when you buy Hoka shoes on sale.

The other thing I’ve started doing to afford my Hoka shoe habit is to get Capital One Shopping Rewards on my purchases. The Shopping program is unrelated to Capital One’s credit card/banking services. Instead, you get cash-back for making purchases through their app/on a browser with their extension installed. Since I’m basically giving them my shopping data, I use a burner email account and a completely separate browser for my Capital One Shopping.

Even though it still feels a little invasive, the rewards are worth it — especially when I buy a product I was already going to buy. For example, right now I have an offer for 25% back at Dick’s Sporting Goods in my portal.

Here’s the real hack with Capital One Shopping: click on the reward offer you want and pretend to search for the item in their portal, but don’t buy it. Instead, go to sleep and when you wake up, you’ll have an even better rewards offer email from Capital One Shopping in your inbox. For example, I’ve had a ton of offers like $50 back on $50.
