"You didn't expect to see a walking shoe story without a pair of Hokas, did you? The Bondi 9 is one of the brand's thickest and most Hoka-esque with the signature MetaRocker and soft sock liner.

The Salomon XT-4 emphasizes durability with abrasion-resistant mesh, quick-lace convenience, and supportive underfoot, while trading weight and price for toughness.
