Sprint, Don’t Walk: This Hoka Sneakers Sale for Cyber Week Includes *Major* Markdowns on Editor-Approved Running Shoes

Besides the fact these sneakers have the stamp of approval from a PureWow editor, they're worth a closer look due to their sheer improvements on previous designs, namely their extended heel and flared sole. What does this mean, exactly? As Maida explained in her review, it means "the base reaches past the upper part of the shoe (i.e., where the foot goes) to provide better balance and lots of stability." So, basically, get ready to feel right at home in these kicks as she and more than 6,000 buyers have. Not to mention, they've earned the American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance, so you can rest assured they're good for your feet, too. To that end, Maida also raves about their plush comfort and soft, bouncy feel that will make you want to go the extra mile.

According to the brand, these high-performance Mach 6 sneakers are designed to "deliver the foot-hugging comfort required to set your next PR." So it's no coincidence that they have a creel jacquard upper and a streamlined collar foam package, allowing a smoother ride (uh, run). Meanwhile, the symmetrical bed of cushions provides support in all the right places, and its low profile keeps your foot closer to the ground so you can have an efficient push-off. Last but certainly not least, the colorful sneakers feature strategic rubber outsole coverage that provides excellent traction on all sorts of terrain. But you don't have to just take my word for it. Here's why one buyer is a fan: "I bought these for work ([I'm] on my feet a lot) and for working out. They feel like walking on clouds. I am obsessed." I think you will be, too.

One buyer called these everyday running sneakers their "best investment," and I can totally see why. The kicks feature a responsive new foam and improved outsole design that supposedly takes its underfoot experience to the next level, so you may be inspired to sign up for the Paris marathon. And, yes, they have a compression-molded EVA foam midsole, which provides the brand's lightweight cushioning that buyers love. I can keep going on and on about the shoe's other features, like the early stage Meta-Rocker that ensures smoother heel-to-toe transitions, but you probably want to add them to your cart already, right?
