Improved cushioning and new technology

The biggest news is the new midsole. Hoka now uses a material called SCF foam. It is lighter and returns more bounce when the foot hits the ground. The shoe therefore feels livelier than the previous model.

The upper has also been updated. It now fits more securely around the foot. This provides better stability when running on steep hills. The shoe has also gained attachments for gaiters. A cover that you attach over the shoe opening and the lower leg. They stop gravel, mud and snow from getting into the shoe.

The outsole is made of a rubber called Vibram Megagrip. The studs under the shoe are 5 millimetres deep. They are arranged in a new way to provide maximum grip on both wet roots and loose gravel.

Hoka produces specific models for both women and men. The men's shoe has a wider sole. The women's shoe has a narrower heel to better fit women's feet. There is also a wide version for those who need extra room for their toes.

Availability

You can find the shoe in many shops. It is sold on Hoka's website and at major sports chains. The colour range is extensive, from classic black to bright yellow and blue.
