If you're looking for sneaks that can handle tougher terrain, Hoka has some great discounts on hiking shoes. Take the Kaha 2, which I've tested for weeks and can attest that it's one of the most durable hiking boots on the market.

Hoka makes some of the best running shoes available, and the Black Friday deals this year actually include one of my favorite new shoes of 2024 in the Hoka Mach 6, which is reduced from $140 to $111, as well as popular models like the Speedgoat 5 and Bondi 8.

You can tell if a shoe has that support by doing a “twist test,” where you hold the shoe on the ends and try to twist it like you’re wringing out a washcloth. “The stiffer the shoe, the better,” Lockwood says. BTW, all of the shoes we chose passed the twist test.

WITH BLACK FRIDAY only a few weeks away, you're probably (if you're anything like us) already champing at the bit for a good deal. Thankfully, REI Outlet just dropped some stellar dicounts on Hoka shoes well in advance of the major shopping event.
