Using our online binoculars, we found some snazzy deals. Hoka Clifton 8s, which rarely go on sale, are 20 percent off. The shoe is touted by customers for its cushioned midsole, comfort, and breathability. It's no wonder why podiatrists and Well+Good editors love them, too. The sale is also stocked with stylish everyday kicks, from Sorel's Kinetic Impact Laces Sneaker (now $90) to Puma's Rider Future Vintage Sneaker (now $63), which happen to be up to 37 percent off.
