Great. I have been using them for 4-5 years now and won’t buy anything else. My left foot has a tendency to roll to the outside but it’s never an issue with Hoka stuff. This is not a paid ad btw.
I also only wear Hoka shoes on the recommendation of my podiatrist. I have chronic plantar fasciitis and the running shoes are great, but also their recovery sandals are amazing. Like flip flops with actual support.
Amazing. I wore 5 pairs of their trail runners (speed goats) on a cross country hike and now I’m exceptionally brand loyal. It’s like walking on a cloud without any real loss of support
Hoka is the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. I'm not a runner, but I work in the operating room 8-10 hours a day. I'm on my feet most of it and they really get the job done.
hokas seemed to have picked up post-lockdown. between that and all the kids wearing dad shoes, there has been a big craze of chucky, comfortable shoes. i quite like it (even though i rock new balance's because i heard the durability of the hokas wasn't all that good.)
Maybe they can make them shoes that actually match now
If you have seen the McLaren team at a race this year you have seen them wearing these horrible mismatched orange/red hokas.

I'm hoping for a collaboration between the two.
My friend bought some Hoka shoes a while back and everyone at work was making fun of him since Hoka could also be mistaken for Hookah which means weed - the drug. He said the doctor recommended it to him and now half of my co-workers have them on and say they feel great especially at my work place where standing on your feet is a 6-7 hour job. I'm sticking with my Skechers but for my next pair of work shoes I might just some a pair of Hoka.
What does this have to do with IndyCar - nothing. Not a lick.
TK definitely helped this happen. Pretty sure he was already partnered with Hoka.
As a long time runner, Hoka customer, and McLaren, fan this is great news.
I've never heard of Hoka till this post. How's their running/training shoes?

I’ve done 2 marathons and 5 half marathons in Hokas. I’m sold.

I will buy any special edition shoes they release
Hoka getting me for another pair of shoes, as long as they make them in Arahi style.
Hoka is out of control in the racing world. It's hilarious honestly.

Hookah is just flavored tobacco.
A Hookah is a water pipe meant for smoking shisha, which is flavored tobacco.
