Farewell old Hokas

[HeavyFoot]

This happened with my last pair of Hokas as well: after about a year the heel lining of the left shoe wore through to expose a viciously sharp plastic inner.

This made a cut in my heel and I have to watch my feet very carefully as I’m diabetic.

This temporary bandaid fix is no solution so I’ll soon be on my third pair of Hokas which otherwise are superb. 😀

Hokas are the greatest!👍👟 Here’s to the next pair!🙂

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

They’re upstairs already. I smuggled them past my wife!! 😉

[RunWillie Graduate10]

I’m a Hoka fan ❤️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️

Love love Hokas! The website is so short of stock though 😕

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Are they coming from mainland Europe?

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Perhaps. I have emailed 4 times over the last 2-3 months about when new stock will be available and I get the sale brush off reply. It’s so frustrating. I wondered if production had stopped with the pandemic. I wondered if the company might be about to fold (this might tip me over the edge). But I can’t get to the bottom of it. It’s very annoying.

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Something at the back of my mind says mine came from the Netherlands.

If you’ve got a VPN, you could try looking at the website through a European IPN and see if there’s a bigger choice.

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

I don’t think there is. It’s a little concerning HF. The low drop has fixed my knee issues and there are very few other makes and styles with equivalent drops of 5mm. Plus I love the boinginess of the Gaviota 😕

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

I’ve got a reply! New styles being released in February!

[HeavyFoot Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

Big relief! I looked last night for huge, wide Aharis and saw that they’re still available. Perhaps will be discounted if new styles come along.

However, if they do come from le Continent, we should prepare ourselves for slower delivery and customs charge.

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

When I say New styles, the gaviota 3 so maybe arahi 5? Rather than brand new styles.

[RunWillie Graduate10 in reply to Tasha99]

They’ve just been dropped in Australia so hopefully you won’t have to wait too much longer 👍🏻

[Tasha99 Graduate10 in reply to RunWillie]

Ooooh yay!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Yikes but at least you got a year out of your shoes, hope you enjoy your new ones. Happy running 🤗

New running shoes are always exciting I suppose a year isn’t bad depending on how much you use them
