Never used a pair before so I was curious who has used them and how did they work for you. Anything good or bad please. Thanks.
I switched over to Hoka about 3yrs ago (from Nike) - the first shoe was a Bondi to help with some Achilles issues and then proceeded to get other models.
I love the fact the sizing has been for me, perfect across the board and I can just order a pair in any model knowing it will fit.
I find I can run further in them, than others before my feet start yelling, and my current favourite for the treadmill is the RocketX and Mach5 for general running. I love the wide midsole, and the generous toe box.
I feel they have fell behind other brands in terms of foam technologies recently, with my racing shoe currently the Asics Metaspeed Sky (but feel the RocketX has a much nicer upper and fit) There is RocketX2 out soon which supposedly has a newer foam, similar to the Puma / Adidas supershoes (not Pebax like Nike)
The Rincon, and Mach5 are a really nice entry into the Hoka world. My only issue with Hoka - and this is probably due to the continued use of EVA foam, is that the shoes go ‘dead’ very quickly for me, my last Rincon I got only 200km out of them, before they felt like bricks (and I’m only 70kg too)
