Our read

A high-cushion technical trail shoe for runners who want protection and grip in sloppy, wet conditions; the GORE-TEX build is the defining feature, but it runs snug and narrow.

Ride

A balanced ride that leans firm for a Hoka, with a 5mm drop and responsive toe-off rather than a plush feel; 5mm Vibram Megagrip lugs bite well on loose and wet ground.

Fit

Fits true to length for most but runs narrow, with only a standard width available; several reviewers flagged the fixed GORE-TEX tongue and heel collar as pressure points.

Best for

Runners tackling technical trails in wet or muddy conditions who need dependable grip and a waterproof upper.

Avoid if

You have wide feet or expect the soft, plush cushioning associated with Hoka road shoes, as this fits narrow and rides firmer.
