How does the saying go? “You don’t what you’ve got ’til it’s gone”? But sometimes you don’t know what you’ve been missing until it arrives, right? I have a brand / style of trail shoe that I’ve been loyal to since the beginning of my running career and they’re a tough act to follow. This winter I had to take a hard look at if they were still going to work for me in the…
I love trail running shoes and for the past ten years, I have specifically loved one specific trail running shoe. I have approximately 20 pairs of said shoe and although I have tried several others, nothing has ever come close to my tried and true. But then…I tried the Hoka One One Challenger ATR 4 and my trail running shoe world was rocked. I have heard a lot about Hokas and how much people love them…
Devotees of the Hoka Clifton have a new model to try out – the Clifton 4 is very similar in cushion, support, and ride, but with a few upgrades. The most noticeable is that the toebox is wider in the regular width. And: the Clifton 4 (both men’s and women’s) will be available in wide sizing. I tend to wear my shoes very loose through the midfoot – to the point where I usually don’t have…
Over the last year I’ve found myself enjoying running trails more and more, especially during hot summer days. Escaping to the cool and woodsy areas in the metro area allow me to log miles a lot more comfortably. However, I have never worn a pair of trail shoe, partly because I don’t run on many trails and also because I didn’t think it made much of a difference as I mostly run on smooth trails.…
I’ve never worn Hoka One One running shoes. I have friends who do, and they tend to be high-mileage runners who care more about the experience than their finish time. I mentioned this to my husband and he quickly corrected my thinking since a number of his sub-3 marathon training partners swear by Hoka. So I was not completely surprised when I first opened the box of my size 8.5 (medium) Hoka One One Speed…
On May 9, 2015, I provided some initial thoughts on the Hoka One One Women’s Challenger ATR trail shoe. I have been running the streets for the last two months in them, and am ready to provide my ‘unedited’ and ‘unscripted’ feelings on the Hoka. The Challenger ATR is a competent shoe, a shoe that is worthy of taking you from a 5k road or trail event all the way to a half marathon road or trail…
I’m super excited to have the opportunity to introduce you to a “Best of Competitor 2015” shoe, the Hoka One One Women’s Challenger ATR. The Challenger ATR received the prestigious competitor.com 2015 Trail Shoe of the Year award. And, one of my (very few) running idols, Sage Canady, is a Hoka One One sponsored athlete. To say the least, I am beyond excited to give this pair of running shoes a healthy dose of wear and tear, both…
