We have been recommending Hoka running shoes for a number of years. When we recommend running shoes we make sure we get our patients into the right category of shoe. There are number of categories: cushioning neutral; mild stability; moderate stability; and maximum stability. There is Hoka shoe in each of these categories.
We get patients to try on all the shoes brands in the category we recommend. A running is usually selected based on comfort. We usually don’t recommend a specific shoe. But, if we do recommend a specific shoe it is because of a design feature that helps reduce load on specific part of the foot.
If we recommend the Hoka running shoe it is due the rocker sole and the maximalist cushioning.
