HOKA x XTERRA Torrent

I love this shoe. It helps my heel spurs and the planters fascistic. I do wish it came in a different color. But best and most comfortable shoe ever. I have had all kinds and this one in particular is GREAT!!

Runs 1/2 size large. I’ve been running in Hokas for seven all years now but this Xterra version is a half size large. I have no complaints on the other hand. Absolutely love this shoe. Stability is perfect, color crushes it.

Love the shoes, looks nice too. I run on trails and on the street. On both surfaces they feel great and grip well. Only complain at first was a little narrow for my foot but after a few walk and short run the shoes broke in quick and feel great. Your might want to upsize a half size if you feet are very wide.
Pro: Good grip on trail and pavement, shoe is super breathable (can feel the wind on my feet in a stiff breeze), shoe lace stay tight during my mid distance runs (might need a re-tie on long runs). Overall I like these shoes and I have made these shoes as my primary running shoe over my New Balance Alts.

I'M OLD, NOT A RUNNER, HOWEVER THESE SHOES ARE GREAT TO WALK IN !

First, I love my other HOKA's, and when first putting these on I was happy with the sleek good looks. BUT, after a couple of trail runs in these, I can see these are not the HOKA's I have come to love. I felt every rock, and the stability was a less than expected. A couple of short mountain hikes gave some nice grip, but still, my feet were sore from the rocky terrain. Yesterday, I went for a short run and thought I had a rock jabbing me in foot.... pulled off the shoe and found a small sharp piece of stick clear through the bottom sole, literally about a 3/4 inch stick. I pulled it out, and now have a hole in the bottom. (Less than two weeks into wearing them) The other HOKA's I have-have the VIBRAM bottoms and I wore them for over a year with brilliant wear and tear, and never a stick through the sole. Wish I could give a better review, because they look great- but even my Cascadia trail shoes never had this happen. Please improve the sole so we can both feel better about this purchase next time. In the meantime, I will probably purchase the other style of HOKA's I had last time, and save these for impressing the sedentary......
