Which should you pick?

head-to-head · opinion

These are the same shoe in different fits: the HOKA Skyflow (283.5 g) and the women's Skyflow (244 g) share identical 5 mm drop, high cushion, no plate, and a $160 price, so the choice is simply which fit suits you. Both are cushioned, stable daily trainers for easy and moderate miles; neither is the pick if you want a light, snappy shoe for tempo or race efforts.
