It's nuts to me that shoes are a "deal" at $116 🤷 ♂️

You think like that until you get something like plantar fasciitis. Then you'll never wear poorly made footwear again. Hokas have saved me from immense pain.

Why would you own four pairs of Hokas if they're garbage?

Not sure why you are taking it so personally, but since you are - making a statement of "It's nuts to me that shoes are a "deal" at $116" without having done some proper research is pretty ignorant. Hoka shoes have cured foot issues such as plantar fasciitis for several people. Hoka's don't go on sale often so any discount is great and appreciated and considered a deal for many.
You could have said the same without being a clown to the original poster. Be better

Quote from RobbyDaBank :
It's about materials and design. Every running shoe has its own type of foam. Some foams are more advanced than others and require more expertise to manufacture. Some last longer than others. Some foams look plush but are really just bulky and stiff, like on the Adidas Duramo. Some can be thin but still soft, like on the Ultraboost DNA. It's not just a gimmick. The cushioning really is significantly different between brands and models.

The foam Hoka uses is extremely comfortable if you stand/walk/run for a long time. You may think it won't make a difference, but your feet, ankles, legs, core, and back will all definitely notice it.

If you put your body through high-impact activities every day, it is worth investing in something that will make you enjoy the activities more and could also reduce your risk of injury by reducing strain, especially on joints.

If companies like Walmart, Reebok, etc., made $30 plush, high-stack shoes (provided they didn't fall apart in a month), then maybe Hoka would need to lower or better justify its pricing, but as things are, only a handful of companies make these kinds of shoes, and they all cost a lot, even on sale.

FWIW I think the New Balance More V4 beats any Hoka shoe on comfort.
I think the point that poster was trying to make is that the cost of shoes has just gone off the charts. Hoka us cashing in on it's popularity and selling shoes (good shoes, I agree) for quite a high price. Adidas has UB and Light Strike which are really good soles and can be had on sales for around $60 or 70 often. Nike has some good soles that are available for about 80 odd every few months. NB, as you pointed out, has regular sales where their high stacked comfortable shoes are available for much less than these shoes. Even Alta, Saucony, etc with their better soles are available for < $100. So this "sale" doesn't seem like a sale when other good companies with their better shoes are regularly available for less, since Hoka doesn't have any special ingredient that just cures people's medical issues magically.

Bought a pairs of Clifton 7 in 2021 and it did not work out for me ; however I later bought a pairs of Mach 4 which turned out to be one of the best running shoes that I have ever owned. I tried Clifton 9 in store again in 2023 but decided to grab Mach 5 instead. At $117/pair, iI would rather take New Balance 1080V13

Quote from rajinikanths :
Brooks has shoe finder for each foot condition - low or high arch, etc. It suggested GTS adrenaline for me 3 years back when I had plantar fasciitis. It completely got rid of my pain and I was able to do 15k steps per day. Since then I'm not wearing anything other than adrenaline GTS. I was planning to try HOKA but after reading a comment from 6 pairs owner here, I'm little sceptic.
Why? Not sure why someone would have 6 pairs and magically they're garbage at the 5-6th pair.

Amex does have $25 off $125 (which includes tax) so that's another option for some in addition to 10% cash back, so overall would be better than costco deal (assuming you like the style)
Thankyou used this offer, came to just above $125, hopefully will get the $25 credit, making it $100 OTD.

Bondi 8 is $100 at wellnessmasco (is that website legit)?
https://www.wellnessmasco.com/pro...4042317119
wondering if we should buy both clifton 9 and bondi8 to see what works out to be the best? Some say that the clifton 9 wears out faster than the bondi 8. To me clifton resembles ghost and bondi resembles glycerin.
