Best HOKA Daily Trainer for Wide Feet

Why our experts like it: A bestseller and staff favorite, the Clifton continues its legacy as a reliable and iconic running shoe. We love how the Clifton can handle all your daily training needs with its plush cushioning, supportive upper, and lightweight design. The latest iteration sees some nice upgrades from the previous version, including an additional 3 mm of updated CMEVA foam, making it the most cushioned Clifton to date. Not only will wide-footed runners enjoy the on-foot experience of the Clifton, but they will also have a plethora of colorways to choose from thanks to the Clifton's expansive wide-width offerings.
Pros: Light on-foot feel, livelier midsole than previous models, smooth heel-to-toe transitions with increased protection
Cons: Lacking responsiveness for more versatility
Team Thoughts: "The HOKA Clifton is a crowd-pleaser. I have recommended and gifted the Clifton many times to friends and family members. It offers protection and comfort with a lightweight feel that I enjoy." Risa, Web Content Editor

Best HOKA Lightweight Trainer for Wide Feet

Why our experts like it: For wide-foot runners, it can be hard to find fast shoes that come in a wide-width option, but the HOKA Mach gives us just that. Featuring an upgraded supercritical EVA foam formulation, the Mach delivers the bounce and pop runners look for in a performance trainer. Combine that with its incredibly lightweight construction and an updated outsole, which has reinforcement in strategic placement, and you have a fantastic shoe that makes picking up the pace feel effortless on even the toughest workouts. In the world of high-volume running shoes, the HOKA Mach has made strides to become one of the best uptempo shoes on the market.
Pros: Supercritical foam midsole delivers a responsive ride, lightweight and comfortable upper, and stylish aesthetic with bold colors
Cons: Might lack the underfoot protection for longer runs depending on the runner
Team Thoughts: "The Mach 6's SCF EVA midsole was the main highlight of this shoe, and its exquisite balance is what surprised me most. Out of the box, it felt soft and bouncy underfoot, helping fuel my excitement for the training miles to come, and on the run, the Mach certainly did not disappoint." Kaleb, Web Content Editor

Best Max Cushioned HOKA Shoe for Wide Feet

Why our experts like it: We recommend the HOKA Bondi as a fabulous option for wide-footed runners looking for soft, cloud-like comfort underfoot. As the most cushioned shoe in HOKA's lineup, the Bondi is perfect for relieving feet and knees from the discomfort of age, long days of work, and the impact of walking or jogging on the joints. Featuring 360 degrees of comfort, which we love, the Bondi has a soft mesh upper and memory foam heel collar that matches the feel of the plush foam underfoot. For those in the service and hospitality industries, nurses, teachers, service and warehouse workers, or anyone who has to stand on their feet all day, we highly recommend slipping into a pair of the HOKA Bondi for optimal comfort.
Pros: Super comfortable, smooth ride, highly protective, sporty aesthetic
Cons: Max stack may be a little bulky for some, not as versatile
Team Thoughts: "This is the most protective running shoe I've ever worn. The Bondi was perfect for my recovery runs and has become my go-to shoe for walks. It's also one of the most comfortable shoes I own." Risa, Web Content Editor

With its cushioned midsole and comfortable ride, the HOKA Challenger is the ultimate hybrid trail shoe that will take you effortlessly from road to trail in style.
Pros: Comfortable, breathable, and highly protective, dynamic road-to-trail versatility
Cons: Not as high performance as a dedicated running shoe
