I'm in the Aha right now. They were a good fit to transition. The lugs can definitely be a little rough to the bottom of your foot at first. Only reason I'm thinking of staying is that I can find them much cheaper (sub 90 bucks some places) than the Distance. But I do want to see if there is any benefit to the pop1 lugs and a lower drop.

Old dude here..I am 51 and used Hokas for the first time for training and running in last year's New York Marathon. Prior to that event, I had used Brooks Adrenaline for 4 previous marathons. I switched to Hokas after knee surgery tow years ago. I feel like they have extended my running years. How much...not sure yet but I have had no limiting injuries or issues since switching. I purchased a pair of trail Hokas for an off road half marathon last spring and love them too. BTW, I do have to endure the endless abuse a bout how silly they look....and they do look silly!

Do you have any old shoes that you don't run in anymore? Maybe retired them due to wear.
Try those again.

Do you stretch at all before or after runs? Stop doing it. Light warm up jog or some jumping jacks and walk a mile after your run.

Never tried them. I'm always wary of the "fix all" kind of shoe and because of that I try and tailor my shoes to my feet.
Sounds to me like the shoe isn't the real problem. I'd take a look at core work and possibly hat tensor facsiae muscle on your outer hip.

i agree + skiing.
i ran my last half marathon (or any run of any sort) in July 2015. Done.
I miss the easy workout, trail running and the high, though.

This has nothing to do with shoes really, but I cannot recommend swiftwick socks enough. I use them for all my running and cycling. Was disappointed in a brand new pair that got a hole in them after a 50 mile bike ride this weekend. Emailed swiftwick and a new pair is on it's way. Sounds petty, but for a $15 pair of socks, it's worth it. Never run in anything as comfortable and they usually last. When they don't, they have great customer service.

Never ran in em but have walked around in them in the store I work at and sell them all the time. They have a ton of cushioning so I what you're experiencing is more of an impact pain then they'll be great for you. I would say go to a running store and try a couple other options out as well.
The new asics kayano are solid as hell as well. They went with a new cushioning underneath the gel portion of the mid sole that took out a lot of weight.
