Hoka might be best known for its plush-cushioned running shoes , but the brand has entered the world of trail running and hiking as well. The brand has a robust selection of trail runners , hiking shoes , and full-fledged boots , and they're starting to collect some market share, too. The Trail Code GTX is one of the brand's popular models. It went on sale this past summer and sold out quickly, but several colors just reappeared at Nordstrom Rack —and they're selling for the lowest price we've ever seen.

The Hoka Trail Code GTX Hiking Boots are on sale for $100—a 45% discount on its normal price of $185. These water-resistant mid-top hiking shoes have earned nearly 200 five-star ratings from shoppers who say they're "absolutely comfortable" and "better on the trail than expected." They're on sale in five different colorways and come in sizes 8 to 13, although they're selling out at an alarming rate.

These Hoka hikers come loaded with features to give you a comfortable ride with plenty of durability and grip for exploring in the dirt. The midsole is made from Hoka’s signature compression-molded EVA foam, which gives this shoe a soft underfoot feel, and the extended “Hubble” heel with a Swallowtail shape promotes smooth transitions and flexes to match uneven terrain, so you get a stable footing. Up top, a durable ripstop upper is paired with a Gore-Tex membrane and a water-repellent coating to keep splashes and light rain from soaking your feet. On the bottom, the Trail Code wears a Vibram Megagrip rubber outsole with toothy 5mm lugs to bite into the dirt and generate lockdown traction.

Nordstrom Rack shoppers have been impressed with the Trail Code’s foot-cradling ride and overall performance. "These hikers are phenomenal," a shopper raved. "Best of both worlds—you can wear them hiking, to work, or just for leisure; very comfortable and supportive." Another shopper agreed, boldly saying, “These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned!”

Others loved the juxtaposition of Hoka's lightweight running influence in a normally heavy type of shoe. "You get a boot that is ultra-light like a running shoe but built durable enough to do boot things," a shopper said. "The quality and construction are top tier…Supportive and sure-footed, while being ultra plush."

Durable, comfortable, and weather-resistant, the Hoka Trail Code GTX offers a slew of benefits for hiking, and it’ll keep your feet happy even on long treks in the wilderness. Hoka shoes, especially trail models with Gore-Tex, usually command top-shelf prices, so scoring a pair for nearly half off is an amazing deal. Don’t wait on this one: Sizes are already selling out, so grab your pair while it’s still in stock.
