With running and walking as a key part of getting our daily does of exercise (particularly within our neighbourhoods) in Melbourne, we want to dive into Hoka One One, why we think they are a premium running and walking shoe.
About Hoka
Hoka shoes are created with one goal in mind- to make running easier. A shoe that looks different and has different technologies. If you’ve ever worn a pair, you know what the HOKA difference feels like, but there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes.
Why Sports Conscious loves them
These shoes FEEL SO GOOD. They are lightweight and offer superior cushioning for a comfortable ride. For running and/or walking, Hoka’s are a best-selling shoe brand of ours. We have a large community of customers who swear by them, and come back every few years to get their feet another pair! Once you wear a pair of Hoka, you are likely to stay in Hoka for life.

Bondi 7 and Clifton 7’s on sale (available in Men’s and Women’s, regular or wide)
What is the difference between the Clifton 7 and the Bondi 7?
The Bondi 7 puts an extra 5mm of cushion under foot, featuring additional outsole protection and an even plusher upper than the Clifton 7.
Clifton by contrast feels like a more stripped back version of the Bondi. It’s still very plush and protective and offers a lighter racing or training option.
Both are suitable for a range of milage options and great for long slow runs but equally suitable for speedier work.
Both are great for walking too.
