Which Hoka Carbon Plated Shoe is the Best?

It all depends on what it is you are looking for.

HOKA's Fall Releases: A Few Surprises

The Zinal and the Bondi X are both surprising releases from the popular brand.

The Bondi X Returns HOKA's Flagship to its Glory

The Bondi was a revelation when introduced 10 years ago. The Bondi X is by far the best in the Bondi series.

HOKA One One Torrent 2: An All Off-Road Shoe

If your running involves anything but pavement or concrete, the Torrent is worth a look.

HOKA Speedgoat 4: The Ultimate Winter Running Shoe

If snow, slush, mud, and roads are the terrain, this HOKA shoe is the game.

HOKA One One Carbon X 2

HOKA has gained confidence in how it makes shoes, and that is evident in the Carbon X 2.

The HOKA Mach 4 Does Not Live Down to its Expectations

The facepalming Mach series got a major facelift. This shoe is... wow.

Run Shoe Preferences for Training

You race in Nike almost as often as you race in HOKA. Training? Not quite so much.

A Lace in Point

Sometimes we have to micro-adjust macro-produced products.

A Conversation on HOKA's New Clifton and Clifton Edge

The Clifton run family expands with the new Clifton Edge. How does it stack up?

Elevon 2: HOKA's Best Lightweight Trainer Debut in Years

HOKA is again making a crackerjack lightweight trainer for me.

Reconsidering My Run Shoe Brand

The themes that animated me when HOKA first came out are soon (finally!) more widely available.

HOKA One One Carbon X

Carbon X is more a lightweight trainer, by category, but it’s going to be my racing flat and maybe it should be yours too.

HOKA Devotees: Our Shoe is Back!

It's the reissue of the original (and still the best) Bondi B. This retro issue is for hipsters and "jog walkers". But that won't stop me.

The Clifton 5: HOKA Made a Good Shoe Great

Footwear companies are famous for wrecking a good shoe. In this case, a good shoe keeps getting better.

Not the Long Haired Hippy Bondi I Used to Love

The HOKA One One Bondi 5 is a really nice shoe. But it’s not the shoe I fell in love with, and that I wrote about so exuberantly 7 years ago today.

Hoka Vanquish 2

Has the Vanquish 2 vanquished the Bondi? Yes. No. I don't know. I'm conflicted. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, so to speak.

Hoka Bondi 4

Waiting for the Bondi 4 was like crossing a desert. My canteens were filled with the Bondi 2, bought at closeout. Is the Bondi 4 the oasis I hoped to find?

Hoka Clifton

The Clifton is the highly anticipated sub-8oz shoe that still retains a lot of its height and plush. How did Hoka carve amost 4oz out of the Bondi, and at what cost?

Stinson versus Bondi

Triathletes discovered Hokas, but are still wondering: Bondi or Stinson? Here's a comparison of the two.

What Hoka Means

Yes, the name Hoka One One means something in Maori. But that's not the question. What does this shoe mean? For the future of running? It means a fundamental change in the way you consider shoes.
