Forums >Gears and Wears>What the Hoka?
I started this thread and said I wouldn't be buying these shoes anytime soon due to the cost. However, I contacted the company about being a shoe tester and was informed there is no testing program, but they would give me a $50 discount since I am a blogger. I ordered a pair of the Mafate Trail version and I expect they will arrive in the next week. Looking forward to testing them out on the trail.

They were very cushy. I prefer my shoes to let me feel the ground more. I think they might be useful for a really long run or maybe on tired legs or maybe if one changed shoes in the latter part of an ultramarathon..

theclymb.com has hokas for 70-80 bucks right now in a few sizes...including, of course, not mine.

This is exactly what I was expecting, and hoping, to hear. Many thanks - very useful.
Purdey, you just successfully ran the Leadville 100. Did you wear your Hoka one ones? How did it go?

Are those Capri's he's wearing?
He's only 4ft. They'd be shorts on most people.
I thought he was allowed to wear Capri's 'cos he's badass?

Naw, its 'cause he's Euro..........
I'm about to buy some. Any comments on sizing? Anyone tried the waterproof ones...are they too hot?
