THE ANTI-MINIMALIST SHOE WITH A SERIOUS SOLE

By Gear Shed

Barefoot running is all the rage. Enter the counterpoint. Hoka One One says that fat, squishy soles are the true path to success. We've tested an ultramarathon of running shoes, and we've gotta admit that Hoka One One has some cushy merits. Though the marshmellow-soled shoes look like they belong in the clown tent, when you're pounding down a paved hill or crumbly mountainside they absorb the impact like nothing else. On the ascent, Hokas cut down on your ankle flex, as well as lower back pain.

The road/trail hybrid Stinson B Evo adds DIY pronation control to the package. All you'll need is a power drill, thin wooden dowels straight from an Ikea bookshelf assembly kit (included), and some sense of where the shoe sole should be harder or softer. For this, we suggest checking in with your local running shop. The Stinson B has dimpled drilling guides, but if you get over zealous a do-over will cost you $169. Available in February 2012, $169, hokaoneone.com.

Karl Meltzer Adventure Sports Profiles

Karl Meltzer in RedBull Human Express Trail Run.

Upon completion Human Express, Meltzer was keen to recognise the role that the Mafate had played in his success and was quoted as saying “I’ve been raving about these shoes since I started running in them at the Zane Grey 50 mile on April 24. I really don’t think I would have completed this run on the Pony Express Trail without them. I had only one blister the entire run, which happened on day 2. The blister location was typical on my pinkie toe. It never caused any discomfort. I just had to give myself a little more room and I was set. The ultimate cushioning of the shoe provided so much protection, and along with shock absorbtion, it’s safe to say it had to save me AT LEAST 25% of total impact. That number is even what I consider a low estimate. The shoes rock! I’ll never change to something else, and the support they give me is mind boggling. If you haven’t tried them…..you are missing out.”

This is another article on shoe ramp angle or ramp delta. This will ensure the heel of the shoe don't get in your way during a forefoot or midfoot landing.

Footpro test the Hoka One One running and trail running shoes

Traditional running shoes have a heel to toe ramp angle of 12mm, the Hoka shoes are slightly flatter at 10mm. The idea of flatter shoes is not revolutionary but combining that with significantly more cushioning is. The sole of the Hoka shoe has increased toe and heel rocker that allows for smooth stride transitioning.
