Description
Never had Hoka before. Are they as good as ultraboosts?
Never had ultraboosts before.
Hoka is great. One of the most comfortable shoues I had.
I own both brands of shoes but use them differently. I find Hoka is a better choice for walking / running but I don't like the colourways. Ultraboosts are mainly aesthetic for me, casual and gym shoes.
I did a long walk in the Ultraboosts, while they were OK, they were clearly not designed for running/walking. Also the tread showed signs of wear after a single walk. My main runners are Brooks revel 4 and asics gel cumulus 23.
@Skinnerr: My daily trainer is Novablast 3. I use it for speed work, tempo and long runs.
Parkrun to Half Marathons - Vaporfly 2
Half to Full marathon - Vaporfly 2 or Alphafly OG.
@D3NI3D: These Hoka Clifton 8's are very soft and squishy and only good for slow/recovery runs and training runs under 10km
For many heavier runners, myself included, these are too soft and cause rubbing and blistering on long runs
@choofa: I have the Cliftons for walking. I take them on all my travels. I've taken them for a few runs and they feel ok not as responsive as other shoes I've worn.
Try the Novablast, I really like them for the versatility.
@D3NI3D: My Cliftons are everyday shoes for walking now.
I've got a pair of Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 as my regular running shoes and on old pair of Vaporfly 2 for longer training runs and a new pair of Vaporfly 2 for races
I've also got a pair of Hoka Carbon X 3, Adidas adizero pro and some trail runners to change things up
I've stopped buying shoes for now…
Perfect for running into Bunnings.
Do these fit true to size or on a similar size to say a adidas or nike running shoe?
I have adidas and a Hoka, sizes are the same
These are the only shoes I've had where the normal width was too narrow. The length is true to size, though.

Excellent running shoes apparently, copped a pair for the old man, thanks OP
Very good price!
Thanks OP, good deal, grabbed a pair.
Thank you, was searching for a entry level walking/jogging/running shoes.
No wide size available :(
I have a pair of these, very comfortable but I mostly walk in them not run.
I had these for a year - great runners. If they were in wide I’d get some.
I am generally a wide in most runners however don’t need a wide in my favourite brooks. Anyone know how these fit? Have been meaning to try for ages.
Edit, already sold out but would still like to know!
You'd likely need their 2E Wide version.
Thanks for the response!
I bought a pair last time around and while the length is fine, they are narrower than Adidas Pureboost in the same size.
At 80 bucks I'm too curious not to try out hoka. Thanks OP.
Haha I thought exactly the same thing! My Mum loves them and keeps buying them from her Podiatrist at crazy inflated prices. I've told her to shop online lol
Amazing value. One of my favourite running shoes out there. A no-brainer if you’re looking for a general trainer which can last up to 600-800km.
Any chance you've run in Nike pegasus? I've still got a backup of those but I'm sorely.tempted to diversify..
Sure have! Prefer there though as the ridefeel is great and soft and cushioned. I’m on the heavy side and these feel like running on clouds - can easily do 20-30km in there per run and feel fresh
Cheers for the response mate :)
I have pegasus and New Balance 1080. Running the city to surf this weekend and I think I'm going to go with the pegasus. Very comfortable.
Wish the men's was in black and white…
I thought that too, odd that they are categorised as women's shoes. But does it matter? If the size is available.
I ended up splashing for a bit of colour - the ones in the thumbnail above - after watching a couple of YouTube videos to see them IRL
Great deal but sadly none left in size 14
Mega-hooves Colston, they call him
Must not buy…..but….so cheap
Code LASTONES to get it down to $63
where do you enter this?
Honestly got no clue, honey did it for me got my shoes for $63, turns out they were womans shoes. Tried again and cant find the place to put it. weird…
There's a coupon box on the checkout page. But like the name suggests, it might be for the last one?
I used it to get some adidas zx1 boosts for $43.
"Fit Type
Regular Fit"
Yeah nah.
Good shoes, Better than the Arahis, worse than the Bondis. Great at this price tho.
I got a pair of these last time and they're super comfy shoes. After about a year of wear though they squeak with every single step and even though they're still in good condition, i just cant wear them anymore…
im normally a 9.5US in a 2E. Any idea if its worth sizing up to try the normal width?
Is it easy to return this stuff via kogan?
These run really narrow. Honestly I wouldn't bother. Mine are uncomfortably narrow and my partner hated hers because they rubbed on the sides of her feet. It's a pretty common issue people have with them. It's a shame, because she loved her Clifton 7's. The Clifton 9's don't seem to be much better.
thanks mate, i'll skip.
Bit narrow fitting be careful with sizing
I just tested at at the stores. Avoid if you have wide feet. Definitely uncomfortable. Would buy if they had the wide version.
Best wide I've found is Brooks. I have wide and weird shape, I did Asics, New Balance, both in 4E but Brooks is the one which is finally actually wide enough in a 4E.
I'm in need of a new pair of joggers and this deal reminded me.
I've had a few pairs of brooks in the past and they've always faired quite well, so ended up grabbing these for $99 instead.

A belated huge thanks to OP, I got one of each colour. These are by far the best running shoes I've ever had, to get two for ~$155 is absurdly cheap. Thanks very much 🙏
