FITNESS GIFTS FOR FATHERS DAY

Father’s Day is the perfect excuse to spoil the dad who never sits still. Whether that old man’s a weekend trail warrior, a gym regular, or just someone who enjoys a walk around the neighbourhood, the right gear can make all the difference. From comfy walking shoes that feel like clouds to lightweight fitness clothes that keep him cool and dry, there are plenty of ways to show him your appreciation.

This father’s day, surprise him with a gift that helps him stay active and feel great doing it.

If your dad treats every weekend hike like a mini expedition, the HOKA Speedgoat will be his new best friend. This trail running shoe has a Vibram Megagrip outsole with 5mm lugs that bite into dirt, rocks, and mud for supreme confidence underfoot. The dual-layer jacquard mesh upper balances breathability with durability, so he can stomp through brambles without worry. Inside the Speedgoat, there’s a responsive CMEVA midsole for cushioning over long treks, and a gusseted tongue that keeps out debris. Even the laces are thoughtfully designed to stay tied on rough terrain. If he loves off-road adventures and getting a little dusty, this shoe is the perfect gift.

If your dad loves to hit the pavement to clock up some kms, the Bondi 9 is his new favourite running buddy. This version of the Bondi keeps all the signature comfort, with an ultra-plush EVA foam midsole that absorbs impact for a soft, smooth ride. The structured knit upper wraps the foot in breathable support, while a 3D moulded heel collar adds stability around the ankle. Underneath, the Durabrasion rubber outsole holds up to daily kms, and reflective accents will help him stay seen on low-light walks or runs. With a hefty heel stack height of 44 mm and a cushy forefoot, this road running shoe is built for max comfort whether he’s racking up kilometers or just wandering around town.

If your dad’s day moves from workouts to trips to the coffee shop to afternoons on the couch, the HOKA Glide range of shorts is his solution. Made from recycled stretch woven fabric, these men’s training shorts are lightweight and quick-drying. The built-in brief liner offers soft support without chafing, while the flat waistband with internal drawcord keeps everything in place. There’s also a discreet zip pocket at the back for his keys or cards. Whether he’s running laps or doing the weekend gardening, he’ll stay cool and ready anything on his to-do list.

Sunburnt dads are grumpy dads, so save his scalp with a Run Hat from our range of HOKA accessories. This running cap uses lightweight recycled polyester for a barely-there feel with laser-cut perforations on the side panels to let the air through. A sweat-wicking headband will keep him dry, while the adjustable bungee cord closure gives a perfect custom fit. The brim is soft yet structured, so it keeps the sun out of his eyes without looking bulky.

Most dads cling to old cotton tees that cling right back when they’re sweaty. Help him upgrade to the Airolite Run Tank, a lightweight men’s training top that’s made from 100% recycled polyester with a soft, breathable feel. The mesh materials improve airflow, while moisture-wicking technology keeps him dry no matter how hard he’s working. It’s cut in an athletic fit that looks sharp without feeling tight, and reflective details help him stay visible if he’s out early or late. Throw this in his gift bag and he'll wonder why he didn’t ditch the old tee sooner.

Even the most active dads need to put their feet up at the end of the day, and the Ora Recovery Mule makes recovery a pleasure. This slip-on men’s recovery sandal uses EVA foam for a cushy, eco-friendly midsole that soothes tired feet. The ventilated mesh upper lets heat escape, while the early-stage Meta-Rocker supports a natural gait. Underfoot, the durable rubber outsole provides grip on sidewalks or slippery tiles. It’s like giving dad a wearable foot massage that he can step into after any workout, or just because he deserves it!

From men’s gym shoes and technical gear to performance running shoes, these gifts for Father’s Day will have your biggest supporter feeling energised, supported, and ready for more adventures, without ever missing a step.
