From marathon starting lines to country trails to trendy cafes, Hoka running shoes are everywhere these days. It's easy to see why: Styles like the Clifton and Bondi are known for their plush ride and comfortable feel. They are not cheap either, their prices in many cases exceed 150 dollars. But if you know where to look—in this case, Dick's Sporting Goods—sometimes you can find a surprising discount, and this is one of those times.
The Hoka Solimar Running Shoes are available at Dick's Sporting Goods for just $94, a 25% discount from the original price of $125. These daily trainers have received a 4.3-star rating from nearly 400 votes, with reviewers commenting that they're “so light and comfortable,” with many saying they're great for walking and traveling. They come in two colors – black/white and slate/forest – and come in sizes 8-14, but we predict they'll sell out soon.

This lightweight daily trainer offers the well-cushioned drive of a Hoka shoe, but is still springy and responsive, so it won't be overly bouncy underfoot. The brand's signature compression molded EVA midsole – the source of the soft feel people rave about – is paired with an EVA sockliner for added softness. Comfort continues with the rocker shape of the sole, helping to flow easily from landing to toe, while up top, mesh upper vents add warmth to prevent feet from sinking in, and a cushioned ankle collar and extended heel tab provide comfortable, irritation-free comfort. fits.
As you'd expect from a Hoka shoe, reviewers were impressed with the comfortable ride, but they also love the light weight. One customer called it “so soft inside, it's like walking on clouds.” Another Solimar is “very comfortable and light, more like what a running shoe should be.”

“These shoes are extremely comfortable, fit perfectly, and are so light that I hardly even notice I have anything on,” said another customer.
Many reviewers also noted that Solimar relieved their chronic leg pain. “They were so light and comfortable that I never had foot pain,” said one customer. “If you're looking for a great, comfortable everyday shoe, look no further.”
Hoka shoes like the Solimar don't come cheap, so scoring a versatile pair under $100 is an outstanding deal. Just be sure to add a pair to your cart today, because if there's one thing we know about Hokas, it's this: people love these shoes, and when they go on sale, they sell out fast.
