Fast. Fluid. Fun. Utilizing the same Profly™ midsole construction for forgiving landings and propulsive toe-offs, the Hoka Torrent 3 has been reimagined with a stripped back upper. Pared down from double to single layer engineered mesh, breathable high-performance yarn is joined by a TPU overlay for extra support and a new rubber outsole that’s stickier and more durable than the last iteration.

Already five pairs of torrents used with satisfaction summers and winters (versions 1 and 2), ultras and everyday runs. Expectations were high for the third in the same series. In winter use, however, the sole has proven to be considerably more slippery than the 1st and 2nd Torrents. I would even say very slippery. The mixture is different. Otherwise, it has a familiar feel, a degree lighter and very breathable & rolling. Moved to summer shoes to wait for the snow to melt. With the old second torrent pairs until then.
