One thing to bare in mind however is that the Asics Nimbus have a 12mm heel stack while the hoka have a 4m stack. I have two pairs of the nimbus and love them for their cushioning abilities but with the stack height I heel strike bad in them. Hoping the Hokas work out!Bondi B: 5mm
Asics Nimbus 14/15: 9mm
Wearing a low drop shoe does not make you midfoot strike.
Th 14/15 they brought the stack height down. My 13's have an 11+ heel stack. Some have complained they don't like the 14/15's as much as the 12/13 nimbus's but I wouldn't know.
And I know a lower stack won't magically make anyone a midfoot striker, but with less stack it will cause the heel not to hit as soon as a lower stack. I still need to work on cadence and form first.
Initial reaction after a 2 mile run: Feels like running on a cloud. There's a little spring feeling as you land and push off. So far I like them but I have to do a lot more running to give them my approval. I have no clue if they will aggravate any joints or muscles yet.
