I bought these on a great sale thinking that I would try a sneaker with the carbon. I really like the fit in the comfort of this sneaker. I am an injured runner and I am currently powerwalking and this shoe really Provides great support as well as functionality. I would highly recommend this shoe and I would buy another one just like it.

These shies provide long lasting comfort throughout my day. They're light weight as well as cool colors.

These are great shoes. They are not for people looking for the HOKA squish. With that said, they find a happy medium between stiff and responsive and cushioned--a balance I quite like. I don't think they need to be saved for racing, but they are shoes you might want to alternate with another pair--because the carbon plate is there and (kind of like an orthotic) it impacts the way your body moves if there were not a carbon plate in your shoe. I quite like that feeling. As others have said, I have a tendency in this shoe to drift forward a bit (away from the heel), but you can manipulate the lacing to change that. It's a 5mm drop, so I'm not sure what causes that. The upper I find way more forgiving than, and the toe box not as narrow as, the Cliftons through version 6. I think the shoe is a win and a nice supplement to other Hokas. For reference, I've run in the Ricon, Clifton 2, Clifton 6, and Bondi 1. I think this is going to be my favorite of the bunch, though I go for the Rincon next most often. The Rincon went dead pretty early on. Others have said this shoe is tricky in the rain, and I can see why. Even though there is good general traction on the tread, when wet, on smooth surfaces, watch yourself.

The shoe is very responsive and the tongue-free upper should be a standard feature!

I was at the breakpoint! My feet hurt so bad from standing on concrete 9 hours a day that I would just come home and stay off of my feet for the rest of the evening! Your shoes changed this and I am back to taking my dogs a walk in the evening, even after working all day on my feet!! Thank you!!!!!

Hoka is my favorite brand of shoe, for walking or running!!! other shoes I use cause my back to hurt, and I am not easily swayed by pains. my only complaint is Hoka should choose better color schemes! And, the sole needs to be a little bit more robust!!

I go for 2-3 mile runs about 3 times a week and work on sprints. By far the most comfortable and best cushion. Switched over from Nike.
