The toe box on the latest iteration of the Speedgoats is narrower. As your feet expand during a whole day walk, this would explain your issue. Some of the other Hokas have wider toe boxes.
Having worn both, I'd say the Speedgoats are more like lightweight road shoes with vibram soles. They are more suited to flat, groomed surfaces. Very little stability and a bit narrow in the toe box. Stinson's are more robust on the bottom end, wider outsoles for stability and to help prevent...
Hoka Stinsons for the win. Just through out my Speegoats and am going back to Sinsons. The Speedgoats started falling apart within a week, especially the inside lining of the tongue. They also had abysmal grip on wet surfaces and wet dirt and have very little structural stability. I really...
I used to suffer from sore knees AND plantar fasciitis. My doctor sent me to a podiatrist who convinced me that orthotics are mostly hype and a waste of money with just a few exceptions. He actually told me to buy Hoka One One shoes and all my problems went away. He wanted me to eventually...
Since your question was specifically about Hoka trail runners and not Hoka road running shoes, I can tell you I have worn both the Stinson ATR 3 & 4, as well as the new Speedgoat model. The Stinsons are the lightest and have the most cushion but are slippery on smooth, wet surfaces. The...
Those are some very nice "Solar Blocking / Heat Retention Cylindrical Neck Apparatus" in your store. I especially like the ones with the images of the stamps. I'm going to get one for my wife.
Prescribed for what condition? You don't say why the poster should " strongly consider the Olympus trail runners". Is this supposed to be helpful?
Yes, I'm trying to be helpful. Are you? They were prescribed for plantar fasciitis. Does it really matter? Why can't I recommend a particular...
Hoka Stinson ATR4 are a great choice also. I've put well over 600 miles on one pair and I'm on the second now. Most comfortable shoe I've ever owned. The cushion is similar to Bondi's but the shoe is built for all terrain.
Alun26,
Looks like you got all the advice you need about shoe placement...:)
I'm curious about which model Hoka's you will be walking with. I've been using their Stinson ATR4 trail runners for a little over a year (on my second pair). They were prescribed for me by my podiatrist and have...
If you happen to have a ProjectFi phone, as my wife and I do, you are protected with Google's VPN. I just use the tethering option for using my tablet. We have used these phones in France, Italy, Spain with no issues.
That used to be true but not anylonger. Most of the better synthetic base layers have non-stink vodoo built in and their wicking and drying performance beats wool hands down. I can wear my Patagonia Capilene base layer around for a week without needing to wash it no problem...
