What are the best Hoka trainers for me?
Whether you like to run on a track, on the treadmill, or across open terrains, Hoka has a running shoe for you. Packed full of innovative technology, Hoka helps you move smoothly – no matter how far away the finishing line is. If you're looking for the best Hoka road running shoes, you can't go wrong with the Clifton 9. The 9th version of the brand's award-winning Clifton range is both lighter and more cushioned than before, creating a bouncy feel. The Clifton 9 have been designed to give a neutral level of support, perfect for runners who don't have issues with overpronating [when your foot rolls too far inward when you run.] Breathable knit uppers and sturdy rubber roles stop feet from getting too hot and prolongs the life of your running shoes. Our customers have described the Hoka Clifton 9 running shoes as ‘like running on a cloud' – so what's not to like? Plus, the Clifton 9 comes in an array of colours, so you're sure to find something that goes with your running kit.
What are the best Hoka shoes for overpronation?
You might want extra support from your running shoes if you overpronate, which can cause pain in your feet, ankles, and knees. Get the most from your run and protect your body with Hoka's Arahi 6 running shoes. They contain the brand's J-Frame technology, which is designed to prevent your feet rolling inwards and create maximum stability. There's no need to worry about your feet feeling clunky or heavy, as despite their cushioning the Arahi 6 still feels super lightweight and breathable. The level of underfoot support also makes the Arahi 6 among the best Hoka running shoes if you suffer from plantar fasciitis, which affects many runners and causes pain on the bottom of your foot.
What are the most comfortable Hoka shoes?
Another great road running shoe, the Bondi 8 trainers are the most cushioned shoe in the brand's line-up and are known for creating an incredibly soft running experience. Lightweight foam creates a bed of soft cushioning for ultimate comfort – brilliant if you're regularly racking up long distances. A billowy reach crash pad creates a balanced ride from heel to toe and internal foot frame keeps your feet secure. Pull tabs at the heel make them easy to get off when you're back from your run.
Which Hoka running shoes are best for speed?
Constantly chasing your next personal best? Hit the ground running in Hoka's Mach 5 running shoes, designed to help you push the pace. The Mach 5 is built for performance and bounces back from the ground to give you a boost of energy and speed. Lightweight foam and a low cushion bed also allows you to push off from the ground efficiently. Heel collars at the back of the shoe ensure your ankles are supported. This trainer is a great choice if you're looking for some extra spring in your step.
