Profile of the Hoka Rocket LD

Use – As projected by its name, the Hoka Rocket LD is built for long-range running. It is ideal for races that range from 1500 meters to 5000 meters. 

Spike Type –To be able to generate optimal surface traction, the shoe accommodates 4 pyramid spikes in the forefoot. These spike pins are ¼-inch in length and are responsible for digging into the track for a swifter and more stable running experience. 

Spike Plate – Affixed to the outsole of this long-distance running spike is a rocker horseshoe plate. It promotes the right balance of flexibility and traction.
