Festival season is finally here! You're probably busy planning who you want to see, booking plane tickets and hotels, and putting together the perfect outfits that balance style and comfort for those fun-filled weekends. Whether you're going all out with your festival look or keeping it more relaxed, choosing the right footwear is one of the most important decisions to make, especially with all the walking and dancing in store. The last thing you want is sore feet, blisters, or injury ruining your experience. 

Spring has sprung (almost), and that means it’s time for a new pair of shoes. Hoka has you covered with their brand new Hoka Mach 6. These are their lightest, most responsive Mach to date. The streamlined collar foam reduces bulk and cuts weight, making them perfect for jogging and racing. Fine-tuned for extra energy return and with speed-focused design details throughout, they deliver the comfort and performance you need to walk, run, hop, and skip into the next part of the year. 

 

In honor of Small Business Saturday, we want to give thanks to all our wonderful customers who made the decision to shop small. When you buy a pair of shoes at Hansen’s, you're a person with a name not just another number and data point at the big box stores. Shopping small businesses helps provide jobs, support the local economy, and give back to your community. As a family-owned business that’s been around for over forty years, we want to share our story!

Meet the Hoka Gaviota 5, the latest addition to the acclaimed Gaviota series, designed to offer runners unmatched stability and support. With its J-Frame™ technology, this shoe provides dynamic support to prevent overpronation and ensure a smooth stride. Despite its maximalist cushioning, the Gaviota 5 remains lightweight, thanks to the CMEVA midsole that offers excellent shock absorption and energy return.

Coachella is right around the corner and we are just as excited for the outfits as we are for the music! Fashion is an important part of the iconic Coachella experience but comfort is also essential. With all the walking and standing involved in attending a music festival, it's crucial to have comfortable footwear.
