A lightweight, unobtrusive stability shoe for mild-to-moderate overpronators who want support without a corrective, clunky feel. The H-Frame does the guiding while keeping the ride relatively sleek.
A balanced, guided ride that leans firmer than HOKA's plush neutral models, with softer foams this version than the 7 but still a stable, controlled toe-off.
Fits true to size with a redesigned last; the collar sits high and a few runners found it can dig into the ankle bone.
Runners who overpronate mildly to moderately and want daily-mileage stability that stays out of the way.
You want plush, soft cushioning or a neutral, unstructured ride, or you're a heavier runner needing more underfoot protection.
