From marathon starting lines to backcountry trails to trendy coffee shops, Hoka running shoes are everywhere these days. It's easy to understand why: Styles like the Clifton and the Bondi, among others, are renowned for their plush ride and comfortable feel. They also aren't cheap, with prices exceeding $150 in many cases. But if you know where to look—Dick's Sporting Goods, in this case—sometimes you'll find a surprise discount, and right now is one of those times.
The Hoka Solimar Running Shoes are on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods for just $94, a 25% discount on its original price of $125. These daily trainers have earned a 4.3-star rating after nearly 400 votes, and reviewers note that they're "so light and comfortable," with many saying they're great shoes for walking and travel, too. They're on sale in two colorways—Black/White and Slate/Forest Cover—and are available in sizes 8-14, but we're predicting they'll start to sell out very soon.

This lightweight daily trainer offers the well-cushioned ride Hoka shoes are known for, but it's still springy and responsive, so it won't feel overly squishy underfoot. It features the brand's signature compression-molded EVA midsole—the source of that cushy feeling people rave about—and it's paired with an EVA sockliner for added softness. Comfort continues with the sole's rocker shape, helping you flow easily from landing to toe-off, while up top, the mesh upper vents heat to keep your feet from roasting and the padded ankle collar and extended heel tab ensure a snug, irritation-free fit.
As you'd expect with a Hoka shoe, reviewers have been blown away by the comfortable ride, but they also love its low weight, too. One shopper called it "so soft inside like you are walking in the clouds." Another called the Solimar "very comfortable and lightweight, more like what a running shoe should feel like."

"These shoes are extremely comfortable, fit perfectly, and are so lightweight I hardly notice I have anything on my feet," said another shopper.
Several reviewers also noted that the Solimar relieved chronic aches and pains in their feet. "They were so light and comfortable I never felt any foot pain," one shopper said. "If you're looking for a great comfortable everyday shoe, look no further."
Hoka shoes like the Solimar don't come cheap, which is why scoring a versatile pair for under $100 is a standout deal. Just make sure to get a pair in 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.
