In an effort to encourage its staff and customers to spend more time outside, REI customarily closes on Black Friday. Nevertheless, a few weeks prior to one of the most popular shopping days of the year, the business usually holds an annual winter sale.Up to 30% off popular brands like Garmin, Saucony, and The North Face are available during the sale, which ends on November 25. Additionally, with the code WINTER24, REI members receive 20% off full-price items and an additional 20% off discounted items from REI Outlet.
I regularly write about REI as an editor for NBC Select, so I know the ins and outs of the retailer’s membership program and its top-selling items. I’ve included the top offers from the 10-day winter sale here for your convenience.

Hoka Women s Bondi 8 Running Shoes
Hoka Bondi 8 Road-Running Shoes – Women’s
9,606 reviews with an average rating of 4.2 stars on REI
The Bondi 8 sneaker from Hoka was suggested by experts when we wrote about the best running shoes for women because it contains a lot of cushioning, which makes every step more pleasant. Although there are limited sizing options for both, the shoe is also available in men’s sizes. After receiving a sample from the company, NBC Select commerce editor Jordan Bowman adds, “I tested the Hoka Bondi for about six months.” Since I take my dog for several walks every day, it has become my go-to walking shoe. I’ve driven more than 100 miles in them with ease. Although they are really comfy, I did need some time to adjust to the soft cushioning of the shoes.

Additionally, they are composed of foam that is resistant to bacteria and machine washable. If you are a men’s half-size, the brand advises sizing down; if you are a women’s half-size, it advises sizing down. According to Lindsay Schneider, editor of NBC Select, Oofo sandals are among the most comfortable sandals she has ever worn. Without a doubt, I would suggest them to everyone.
