Very good trail shoes. Very comfortable.
Relatively wide toe box. Excellent cushioning. Consider the 8mm drop. Podiatrists specializing in running normally advise against a significant drop. The more stress on the knee seems to increase, the more pain you may experience.
It would be nice to know why Hoka chose a significant drop for its only high-end trail shoes. Even the classic Mafate has gone from a 4mm to an 8mm drop.
After that, it might be better. So we'll see as you go.| Overall rating |
Perfect shoe for long runs. Good cushioning, good space for the toes. When you get up to speed a little, you get good response and the shoe propels you forward well. It is not the best shoe for the technical and muddy trail. Then I would choose the tecton x3. I recommend it if you want a comfortable shoe with very high comfort
