Step to it! The wildly popular Hoka Bondi 8 sneakers are up to 50% off right now
The Hoka Bondi 8 sneakers are not only highly rated at every retailer where they're sold but they are also loved by podiatrists and even our own editors. Yahoo Commerce Editor Saundra Latham packed them for a cruise where she walked over 15,000 steps a day. "They're ultra-cushioned, with a flexible upper that's almost sock-like, so it molds to my foot," she said.
These sporty kicks have a super thick insole and weigh less than 9 ounces, making them a great option for anyone whose feet need ultra-plush cushioning. Other key features include engineered mesh construction, an Ortholite hybrid sock liner, a lightweight foam insole and a rubber outsole.
Latham noted that the upper is flexible, so "you do have to loosen the laces a fair amount before putting them on." But the comfort makes them worth the extra seconds, she said. Latham also added, "I've dealt with some plantar fasciitis in the past and would definitely turn to these if I ever have a repeat bout because they're so cushioned." Dr. Hillary Brenner, New York-based podiatrist and foot surgeon, is also a fan telling us, "These are my personal favorites because of the EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate) foam midsole, which is excellent for shock absorption. It's an excellent shoe in regards to support."
The fan-favorite sneakers are no longer available at Hoka's own website — they've been replaced with the newer Bondi 9 version (which features upgraded cushioning, 2mm more in height, a retooled collar and a new version of the knit upper). But if you still want to give the older versions a try, we've found limited stock available at a variety of other retailers for as little as $82.
Here are all the Hoka Bondi 8 sneakers sales we've found on sale today.
You can save the most on Bondi 8s — up to 50% off — at REI right now. They've got seven men's colors still available and three women's, but sizes are selling out quickly.

Trader Joe's trendy totes are the hot new status symbol in this foreign country — with no Trader Joe's stores
The Trader Joe's brand reputation precedes them globally — thanks to their viral totes. The grocery store's infamous tote bags are something of a status symbol here in the United States, but across the pond, even without a single location in Britain, Trader Joe's bags have become a must-have accessory. 'I think I've seen more of the Trader Joe's tote bags in London than I have where I live in San Francisco,' Hannah Tyldsley, a 27-year-old who works in consulting and was in the city visiting friends, told the New York Times. Advertisement 3 People in London carry around Trader Joe's tote bags — even though there are no stores in Britain. TikTok/@poshgalkimmy Christos Paphiti, a London-based lawyer, told the outlet that visiting Trader Joe's was a months-long wish for him after seeing more and more people in his East London neighborhood wearing the totes. 'Seeing people in their cute fits wearing them, I was like: 'What is Trader Joe's? Where can I get one?'' he said. Advertisement Paphiti, 29, made Trader Joe's a vital part of his itinerary during a trip to New York and he returned home with seven tote bags for him and his friends. 'Everyone was super touched by it,' he said. 'I was like, 'Sweetie, it was $4.'' One girl on TikTok said that since she moved to London, she's noticed that so many people carry Trader Joe's bags — and she echoed the sentiment that she's seen more there than she did in America. And while many people on social media seem confused why an American thing is so popular in London, it seems as though the American aspect of it is part of the draw. Advertisement 'It's a subtle flex that you've been to America,' one person commented on a TikTok. 'You're a little bit well traveled,' Jarrod Stevenson, 30, told The Times. 'Obviously, at some point, you've been to the States. You've picked up the bag. You know what's up.' In order to get one of these bags in London, Brits have to either travel to the United States or know someone who is going and will bring one back. Advertisement One person even commented on TikTok that she moved from London to LA, but 'brings back 100 [tote bags] every few months as souvenirs cuz allll my friends want one.' If you're not able to make it to the states or don't know someone who can gift you one, the other option for Londoners to get their hands on one of the viral tote bags is to purchase on a resale site, such as Vinted, which is popular in the UK. There are hundreds on hundreds of Trader Joe's bags listed on Vinted for about £10, or $11.50, though some people get more of a profit from them. 3 To get a tote, Brits have to either travel to the United States or know someone who is going and will bring one back. TikTok/@poshgalkimmy Aysun Yeter, 28, told the Times that she sold an extra TJ's tote she had for £20 ($27) last year, and she wanted to buy one for herself because 'the American girlies have it.' Many London-based users on TikTok also noted that the tote bags aren't just cute and popular — they're also practical. 'It's such a perfect size tote bag, literally holds everything and so comfy and convenient,' one said.

It's the Summer of Subverted Polka Dots
Every summer, certain breakout fashion trends emerge—as though we all collectively got the same memo that a certain print or shoe is in. These past few weeks, the streets have been taken over by polka dots: they're everywhere! Celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo, and Rihanna have all been embracing the retro pattern in fresh, new ways. (They were also a huge trend of the resort 2026 season.) But while dotted designs can lean 1920s, the era they became popularized, the new styling approach is all about subverting that sweetness—by plastering dots on unexpected pieces like ties, shorts, and even capri leggings. Call it a cooler, grungier take on polka dot dressing; the 2025 way of wearing the pattern is all about offsetting it with more downtown-worthy pieces. Earlier this week, Rihanna offered a masterclass in the trend: The star dined at Giorgio Baldi in an oversized ERL suit and sheer Fenty bra, punctuating the look with a big polka-dotted tie, left undone around her neck. It struck the right balance of classic and contemporary. Ditto for Olivia Rodrigo, who stepped out in New York this summer wearing a pair of micro polka-dotted shorts. Styled with a blank tank and leather biker boots? She made polka dots worthy of a pop-punk star.

Influencer Who Dished Out $33K on 250 Tattoos Reveals How the Transformation Impacts Her Daily Life (Exclusive)
A content creator details her five-year journey to achieving her tattoo "body suit"NEED TO KNOW An Australian woman has gone viral on social media for showing her 250 tattoos, which cover nearly her entire body, from her chest to her feet (and yes, her butt) Over five years, she's spent around $32,600 on her themed ink, which she reveals are done over multiple seven-hour tattooing sessions Speaking about her transformation, she reveals how her appearance has impacted her confidence and everyday interactionsThis woman's love for tattoos is permanent. Melbourne, Australia-based content creator Blue Valentine has garnered a following online for sharing her tattoo journey, which, today, includes around 250 works of art that've cost her $50,000 AUD (which is approximately $33,000 USD). "I always knew I wanted tattoos," says the 28-year-old, who describes herself as "an all-or-nothing kind of person." Still, when she decided to get her first tattoo five years ago, she approached the process slowly and steadily. "I was initially scared I wouldn't be able to handle the pain, as I don't like regular needles or taking blood. I did a small traditional tattoo flower on my ribs, so if I tapped out, I wouldn't have to look at it too much." But that wasn't the case. Despite the "horrible" pain that occurred during that very first session, she wasn't deterred. "As I left the studio, I got over it and booked in my first sleeve about a week later." There's more than what meets the eye with what Valentine calls her "body suit" (because the majority of her lower half — including her chest, stomach and butt — are, in fact, covered in tats). Each sleeve and collage are designed in different themes: Diner, Military, Sailor, Circus, Garage, Western and Vintage. The one thing they have in common? Illustrations inspired by 1950s pin-up culture, which also influences how Valentine dresses day to day. "I knew I wanted to do themes straight away. I like the organization of it. I picked my top themes, assessed which ones had the most images I wanted and they got the larger portions of my body," she explains. "My favorite tattoo is my throat tattoo. [It reads] 'Not your Valentine', Valentine being my last name. I think it's a bold statement and is a strong representation of my personality. My others would be the ones I have representing my family, such as images of my parents [she revealed in a TikTok tattoo tour that she has an depiction of them as "conjoined twins" as a part of her circus-themed sleeve], brother, grandparents and dogs. 'All Bark, All Bite' across my chest is also another favorite of mine," she says.

While Valentine's tattoo count may be mind-boggling, she puts thought into every single one she gets. First, she sketches her concepts on an iPad, then gives her moodboard of sorts to her tattoo artists. She's worked with three Australian-based artists, Ben Tuckey, Ben Koopman and Allegra Maeva, over the years (but has never done a tattoo on herself). Then come the time-consuming — and pricey — tattoo shop visits. "I would book six to seven-hour full-day sessions and go either weekly or bi-weekly until we completed whatever sleeve or themed section we were on. I'd then take a month break or so to draw up the next sleeve if I didn't already have it ready. Usually in a full day you could get two big pieces or three medium pieces [completed]. There would also be full-day sessions just focused on filler pieces to close up any gaps, which were usually just free-handed by the artist." She says she's dished out around $800 AUD or $522 USD per session. is now available in the Apple App Store!

She tells PEOPLE that her appearance sometimes receives negative responses from people she meets in real life. "Men definitely stare and ask inappropriate questions. I also work in a bar so there's not a night that goes by without some form of harassment and comments made towards me and my tattoos," says Valentine, who works in bar management. "I don't take anyone's opinion of it seriously, as my tattoos are everything I planned out and wanted. I'm very proud of what me and my artists have achieved, and I've become incredibly confident in my skin because of it." She also says she has a loving partner who supports her tattoo journey as she does hers. That means she really (yes, really) doesn't have any regrets about her ink. "I'm so glad I waited until I was 23 to start getting tattooed or, my god, I would have some shockers! Everything was planned and everything worked out the way I envisioned thanks to my artists," she says. The lingering question: Does she have any more room for a few more tattoos? "I only have the bottoms of my feet, face and ears free," she says, though getting her ears done is next on her to-do list. She does have one body part that's absolutely off limits: "I want to keep my face naked." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
