Hoka Black Friday Sale is now live and it includes my all-time fave shoes from the brand

Hoka's Tennine Hike GORE-TEX is a weirdly wonderful hiking boot that looks strange but performs pretty well on the trail

I've been a huge Hoka fan for years. As a matter of fact, one of the first running shoes I've ever reviewed for T3 was the Hoka Carbon X (back then, we used to call it Hoka One One Carbon X). Over the years, I tested many shoes from the brand, and I'm glad to see many of these popping up in the up to 50% off Hoka Black Friday sale this year.

The shoes I'm super excited to see among the best Black Friday deals from the brand is the strange-looking Tennine Hike GORE-TEX (was £230, now £160.99). It was – and still is – one of the most peculiar-looking performance footwear ever designed (bar the Mizuno Wave Duel Pro, also on offer right now). Interestingly, Hoka is keeping the shoes alive, so there must be people who like the look (and feel) of the boots.

You'll find tons more offers in the Hoka Black Friday sale; please find my favourites below.
