Aside from seemingly more spending power, mass social media followings, and drool-worthy vacations, celebrities are just like us! Okay, maybe not entirely like us, but they do wear classic brands that you probably have in your wardrobe, like Spanx, Sam Edelman, and Alo Yoga. Hoka is also included in that mix.
The sneaker brand has shimmied its way to the forefront of athleisure, showing up on the feet of Reese Witherspoon, Britney Spears, Jessica Alba, Gisele Bündchen, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Olivia Wilde. I may not have A-lister status, but Hoka has even won me over, delivering cloud-like perfection time and time again.

Each one of the brand’s shoe’s prioritizes comfort, providing everyone from pro runners to dog walkers a solution to achy, cramped feet. With plenty of styles available, you’re guaranteed to find a version that’s right for you. Better yet, tons of vibrant and subdued colors are up for grabs, bringing life and originality into your casual attire.
Hoka Clifton 9 Running Shoe

I own two pairs of the Clifton 9 tennis shoes, so it’s safe to say I have a favorite. The kicks have never given me blisters, and I wear the style almost daily. My walking pad and the gym floor are no match for the thick bottom foam, climbing heel, and pillow-like interior, either. I even leave the shoes by my front door, constantly relying on the effortless sneaker for daily life.
Celebrity-worn Hoka tennis shoes aren’t solely reserved for fitness, though. I like to wear subtle versions with wide-leg denim and simple T-shirts for coffee runs, park picnics, and bookstore dates. I have stars like Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Garner to thank; they continuously make a case for the dad shoe trend, proving you can be comfortable and stylish at the same time.
Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoe
Nordstrom
If you’re new to the Hoka game or simply want some editor-approved recommendations, I’d suggest snagging the best-selling Bondi 8 sneaker, especially if you’re a runner. The light-as-air construction lifts you off the ground, while a sturdy sole adds balance. “After trying [these] on, I didn’t even want to take them off,” wrote a reviewer. Another claimed the Bondi 8 shoes helped with their bad knee, while someone else said they experience “zero discomfort” whether they’re walking, running, or doing jumping jacks.
Hoka Arahi 7 Running Shoe
Nordstrom
Another shopper favorite is the Arahi 7 tennis shoe. Available in a sleek design and six colors, this sneaker helps with overall foot alignment. One reviewer sported these exact kicks for a 12-hour shift and was pleased to have their knee and bilateral foot pain relieved on the first day of wearing them. “I have over 40 pairs of sneakers, and these are the only ones I can survive with,” they continued.
