The awkward moment when, just after a run, you know you will never look at all those shoes in the closet the same way again.
Soft and propulsive as if you are not running on asphalt and pavement but on a trampoline made of cushions, yet absolutely stable.
You run very slowly (but you don't want to) and with whatever you can give, the shoes respond to every rhythm.
The weight I read about I didn't feel, and the laces that everyone said were very bad the company changed to more classic ones that work perfectly, at least in the recent black color with purple and green accents that I bought.
Their downside does not concern running in the slightest; they simply are not suitable for walking, covering only warm-up/running/cool-down.
The second "downside," the price, is expensive; I bought them for 226 euros HOWEVER they are worth even the original price of 275.
I was impressed by Hoka or rather, more accurately, I was thrilled.
