A do-everything daily trainer for runners who want HOKA cushioning without much weight, and one of the better values in the range at $125. If you want plush softness or extra structure, this isn't it.
A balanced, firmer-than-plush EVA ride with a smooth rockered transition that stays light and reasonably responsive at faster paces.
Standard width with a minimal engineered mesh upper and traditional lacing; the fit runs true and secure without being roomy.
Runners wanting a versatile, lightweight cushioned trainer that can handle both easy days and the occasional pickup.
You want a soft, protective max-cushion feel or need built-in stability, as this shoe is neutral and relatively firm.
