I have no fewer than 10 pairs of Brooks. Only work Hoka's once and hated them.

My G-d you people are soft as baby shite. That much squishy stuff makes your ankles more unstable, but you eat the social media marketing like your wives do. You don’t need to walk on marshmallows, you need tougher feet.

I'd much rather Brooks (I have multiple pairs of these) over Hokas. I don't think I'd ever wear Hokas. And I'm 50. I also like NB and Asics.

Hoka’s are better

Wrong. Ons are for 20 YO dudes, middle/high school girls and soccer moms who want to look cool and like serious runners but actually don't know shite about good running shoes.

Ons ain't those.

I am on the northshore. If it ain't On -Clouds with Rhobacks you might as well be in Hey Dudes and Columbia.

I wore them (Cliftons) for my long runs my last Ironman go around but they became grass cutting shoes after that.

Been back in Brooks ever since (Hyperion).
