re: Did Hoka start the giant shoe sole trend?

I thought those has soles that go into the bottom part. Didn’t think they were that thick.

I bought some Newton's the a couple of weeks ago, and I love them.

This is the first I've heard of them. Thanks for the recommendation.

Look like women’s tennis shoes

I went to a store called Running Wild (basically like a local version of Fleet Feet) and they did all the analytics and measurements and stuff of my feet and gave me several recommendations, and those were the ones I liked the best, and I'm very happy with the purchase. Id never been to a store like that. It was a neat experience.

Hokas are like a 90's throwback for Boomers trying to relive their youth. It's the ultimate look at me shoe for old farts who want a little more panache than NB's.

The Cliftons are alright but the Bondis are terribly uncomfortable to me. I've been sticking with Brooks Ghosts even though their designs are kinda whack some years.

I have the New Balance Fresh Foams pictured here. Just got em a few months ago and they are life changers. Say what you want, but they practically eliminate the foot pain I had for years.

I get about 25k steps a day and they’re perfect for me. Waterproof too which is huge up here

Can’t imagine throwing a pair on to go to the grocery store, though

Hoka shoes are the new “dad shoe”

Right there with the Nike air monarchs and new balance 608v5

I'll never understand the high stack height shoes. The further your foot is from the ground, the more unstable you become leading to possible injury. For walking or base effort running, a minimal shoe is the way to go. Only wear a shoe with a drop and stack height when racing on the street.

I see what you're saying, and I don't wear high cushion running shoes. Hiyeva, the drop does push you towards using your toes to land as opposed to your heel. I can get behind that.
