Our reviews for Hoka shoes don't just focus on our experiences running with them, we also understand the mechanisms behind the shoe through our teardowns and tests. We've tested all sorts of Hoka running shoes, whether you're heavily cushioned pairs, trail shoes, or stability ones. Our tests bring out both the best and the questionable aspects of each shoe, and everything in between.
