Hoka Women’s Bondi 8

Walking on marshmallows. Walking on clouds. Walking on sunshine. These are all phrases I’ve used to try to describe the Hoka experience. But the truth is, you really have to slip on a pair of them yourself to really understand all the hype.

The Bondi 8 has earned the APMA Seal of Acceptance, as well as the blessing of podiatrist Sanjna Sanghvi, MD, of PS Foot and Ankle in Bridgewater, New Jersey. “The substantial cushioning in Hoka shoes reduces stress on your ankles, knees, and hips with every stride,” she says. “The extrinsic design of Hokas is great for a lot of pathologies, one of them being flat feet. The stacked midsole and heel rocker really allows well supported stride.”

They also come in so many adorable colors, so you can go with a more classic black or white pair or really branch out into “evening sky” blue, cerise, and peach.
