Review for Hoka One One Women’s Challenger ATR 5 Trail Shoe – 2019

In its fifth iteration, the Challenger furthers its reputation for versatility. Fast and light on the trail, its midsole geometry ensures a smooth ride on the road. While the distinctive multi-lugged outsole leaves you in no doubt as to its trail heritage. Arranged closer together towards the heel for a smoother, more consistent ride, the lugs have a wider spread in the forefoot to help with grip on the trail and in wet conditions. The Challenger ATR 5 also features a modified midfoot design for improved lockdown as well as a supportive heel counter for lateral and medial security. It looks fast and goes fast. Dual-layer mesh balances support, durability and breathability Textured TPU toe reinforcement for added durability Internal heel counter provides support on all terrains Early stage Meta-Rocker for a smooth ride Lightweight and oversized EVA midsole provides signature HOKA ONE ONE cushioning CMEVA foam midsole provides stable footing and absorbs impact points 4mm lugs provide all-terrain traction Podular outsole design provides stability on uneven terrainGEOMETRY:Offset: 5mm Heel: 27mm Forefoot: 22mmWEIGHT: 7.7 oz. 218g

Review for Hoka One One Women’s Speedgoat 3 Waterproof Trail Shoe – 2019

Inspired by Karl Meltzer, aka “The Speedgoat”, who holds the record for the most 100-mile trail race wins and epitomizes the “go everywhere, run everything” attitude, this shoe is designed to attack all kinds of technical trail. In this waterproof version we’ve added a SKYSHELL waterproof bootie and gusseted tongue. The wider midsole and toe box of Speedgoat 2 were well received, as were the more aggressive Vibram Megagrip lugs, which hold up to all kinds of rugged terrain. With the Speedgoat 3 WP, we’ve added further heel support and mid-foot lockdown in the upper as well as “seatbelt” support on each side. It’s a combo that creates a protective cradle. Topped by a patterned ripstop nylon upper, we think we’re really in lock step with the Speedgoat’s “go everywhere, run everything” philosophy. SKYSHELL waterproof membrane with full-bootie construction Gusseted tongue to mitigate tongue migration and reduce trail debris from entering the shoe Open engineered mesh construction to maximize breathability and support Reinforced TPU midfoot overlays to help ensure a secure fit Textured TPU toe reinforcement for added durability Oversize EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning Wider platform designed to provide a more stable base on varied terrain CMEVA foam midsole absorbs impact points and offers stable footing Vibram Megagrip hi-traction outsole with 5mm lugs Multidirectional lugs for supreme grip on varied terrain More durable outsole designGEOMETRY:Offset: 4mm Heel: 30mm Forefoot: 26mmWEIGHT: 9.6 oz. 272g

Review for Hoka One One Men’s Challenger ATR 4 Shoe – 2018

Often called Clifton for the trail, Challenger ATR 4 appears more like a Clifton with its cleaner, less busy look and more breathable upper. And like the Clifton 4, Challenger ATR 4 is fast and light, offering a smooth, smooth ride. Where it diverges from the Clifton and takes the path less traveled is in its multi-lugged outsole. Arranged closer together towards the heel for a smoother, more consistent ride, its lugs have a wider spread in the forefoot to help with grip on the trail and in wet conditions. Still as versatile and supportive no matter the running surface, Challenger ATR 4 has improved upper durability in the areas you need it (like a larger toe guard area). Let’s take to the trails people! Dual-layer mesh balances support, durability, and breathability Extended toe-cap coverage for added durability Internal heel counter provides support on all terrains Early stage Meta-Rocker for smooth ride Oversize EVA midsole provides lightweight cushioning 4mm lugs provide all-terrain traction Podular outsole design provides stability on uneven terrainGEOMETRY:OFFSET: 5mm HEEL: 29mm FOREFOOT: 24mmWEIGHT: 9oz.

Review for Hoka One One Women’s Tracer 2 Shoe – 2018

Review for Altra Men’s Lone Peak 4 Trail Shoe – 2019

The new upper will include the same integrated tongue as the previous version but now with static webbing for better cinching ability, a flexible strap overlay for a roomier forefoot fit and a sandpaper textured toe cap. In addition, breathability is improved by way of draining mesh in the heel and forefoot and the decoupled nature of the TrailClaw, as well as multi-directional, carved lugs for improves traction and reduced weight. To top off this already awesome shoe the StoneGuard is completely updated to resemble the skeletal structure of a foot for better performance and dynamic flexibility.FOOTSHAPE TOE BOX – Allows your toes to relax and spread out naturally for more comfort and stability in uphill climbs and downhill descents.ZERO DROP – PLATFORM – Places your heel and forefoot the same distance from the ground to encourage proper, low-impact form throughout your trail run.

Review for Hoka One One Men’s Rocket MD Track Spike – 2019

There was a need to deliver world class spikes for Hoka’s world class athletes. The Rocket series was designed to embody Hoka One One performance and comfort, and enable their athletes to fly around the track. Based on the fact that half of a track athlete’s race is spent making left turns, they created a middle-distance shoe where the spikes are placed asymmetrically on an aggressive carbon fiber propulsion plate, with a stiff forefoot for direct response. The Rocket MD is designed for races 400m to the mile.
