First delivery came in today.....and it is even better then we expected. We need to do some βtesteingβ but at first feel it fills tha gap between the nike zoom fly and the 4%.
The forefoot is cushioned, but not ultra soft like cliftonish, heel is a bit softer then forefoot, but the βspringβ from the carbon plate is more to feel then with the nikeβs. For me personally this is by far a better fit then the nikeβs. More room in the forefoot, perfect grip in the midfoot and not as high on the achilles as with the nikeβs. Not that the nikeβs bothered me but i just like a lower around the ankle.
The stability is so much better then the 4%, and i think even better then the zoom fly. And at this weight it is almost unbelievable stable for a racer.
The spring of the carbon plate is giving you really that feeling that it propels your feet forward. Toe off is super fast. I donβt think this is slower pace shoe, but i might be wrong. Until now for me personally hoka felt always too soft or just too much shoe, but this different. This is fast and furious. In the next few days i will do some testing against the zoom fly and 4% to see if there is a βspeedβ difference.
This shoe is going to ger hoka even bigger.
Review in the next couple of weeks.
