I run in my Stinson Tarmac's on the treadmill all the time but never in the Bondi's or Conquests.

I run in my Conquests with no problem. Did a 45 minute tempo run yesterday with them on the TM.

I run in my Hokas all the time on the tread mill. What issues are you having?

Ha, happy Hoka runners. Well, I have a balance issue when I run — I drift a bit, mechanical of some sort which I hope to analyze this winter. I love my Stinsons (formerly Bondis before Dexter messed with them) for injury prevention on my 51 year-old bones, but they exacerbate the drifting — and drifting on the treddy isn't good.

So I thought I'd lace up in something a bit less padded hoping I can do some decent tempo runs and keep the muscles toned over the winter. I can probably work with the Stinsons, but am trying out Brooks Ghost 7 now… not Hokas, but not bad. Thought someone might have a go-to alternative.

might want to try the cliftons. Still soft, a little less bulky or padded. Still Hokas I love them.

How do the cliftons compare to the stinsons?

Cliftons are softer. Similar to Bondi except the sole is not as thick and the shoe material is more svelte. Clifton is incredibly light shoe for what it is.

I use my Hokas... Also didn't think it would work at first, but its fine.

really depends on which Hoka's as the different models vary in outsole, thickness of the cushioning.
