Magic Shoes

[Diamondshoes]

Wore my new running shoes again today and delighted to discover that their name in Maori (Hoka One One) means "to fly"! Still waiting to fly, but a lot easier than old trainers.

Sounds good keep us updated would be good as, I'm in 2minds getting some😉

Are they stability shoes? For over pronation?

[Diamondshoes Graduate in reply to Hidden]

These were advised by specialist running shop - they didn't say anything about pronation, but got me doing squats, running on treadmill and then recommended these shoes. Very padded and comfortable. Feel very stable on

Thanks I have been looking and I love them in pink! And they’re a lot cheaper than my perfect pair gel kayano x can’t afford new ones tho ☹️

[Diamondshoes Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I got last season's - mind you, still very expensive but I figure it will mean I have to get out there regularly so that they pay for themselves!!

[Hidden in reply to Diamondshoes]

I know they’re so expensive my Gel kayano 24 are from 4 years ago and still cost 150 quid in some places! It’s Cos they’re just amazing shoes x but wowza

I don’t know if they all are, but mine (Arahis) are. They have some sort of patented J system to help stability. I’m on my second pair and recommend them.

Hoka’s number one fan here!

How long have you been wearing Hoka?

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Diamondshoes]

6-8 months I think. I had really bad knee pain with IT band. Swapped to Hoka. The low drop fixed me overnight. Never had a problem since. Took a while to get used to though - alternated for a month or so.
