  • Kate Hudson wore a pair of Hoka One One Clifton 7 sneakers in a recent workout video posted to Instagram.

  • Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow also love them, and reviewers say the gel soles help with heel and back pain.


Kate Hudson has always been active, but she’s amping up her workouts to stay in shape for her new movie, Knives Out 2, which she was recently spotted taping in Greece. If you’ve seen the first film, you know its murder mystery-solving action got intense at times—so she has to be ready.

That’s why, when she’s not on set, she’s exercising with her trainer Brian Nguyen. And only the best gear is supporting her form—including her go-to sneakers, the Hoka One One Clifton 7s, which are available at Zappos, Dick’s, or the brand’s site. Easily identified by their chunky-yet-sturdy sole, Hudson sported the shoes in a recent workout video in which she engaged her core by repeatedly swinging an Onnit HydroCore Bag.

“This gives ‘staying centered’ a whole new meaning for me 😜,” Hudson captioned the post. “First time taking this for a ride, definitely not the last 🌪.”

The actress, 42, is also prioritizing exercise right now to renew her strength after having three kids. In a recent Instagram Story, she shared that her body hasn’t responded well to training since becoming a mom, so Nguyen is helping her find new workouts that jive better. And as the founder of Fabletics who has an eye for quality product, it’s a big deal that Hudson trusts the Clifton 7s to carry her through.

The celeb-loved sneakers are popular for their supportive silhouette, breathable mesh panels, and Hubble heel design, which absorbs impact and helps prevent injury. And they don’t have to be saved for an intense run—they’re just as good for a walk around the block.

Zappos customers give the trainers an overall four-star rating with 3,000-plus reviews. “Great fit! Really helped me with heel pain and back pain,” wrote one customer. “I can feel the gel in the sole of the shoe, and it makes all the difference.”

“I am in my late 50s and have Morton’s neuroma in my right foot, which was making it very hard to walk,” another reviewer added. “WHAT A DIFFERENCE these shoes have made! They are comfortable, have great support, look great, and best of all, gave me back the freedom to walk and stand on my feet for extended periods! I would recommend it to anyone looking for comfort and support.”

In her video, Hudson rocked the classic black and white style, but the brand offers a variety of cool color combinations including black and bronze, coral and white, turquoise and coral, and more.
