Hoka men's sneakers - practicality and comfort
If you're looking to buy men's Hoka running shoes, you're making the right choice. These shoes are perfect for both sports and casual strolls on the streets or rough terrain. They were originally designed for both the former and the latter. Hoka was created by ultramarathon runner Nicolas Mermoud, who wanted to create a shoe that could withstand such long runs and support the runner's foot.
Hoka History
The aforementioned Nicolas Mermoud was a multiple-time winner of ultramarathon distances, those exceeding the standard 42 kilometers. Such races often involve various obstacles, such as rugged terrain. The then-current trend toward very thin soles and minimal cushioning in favor of a "natural running" style was unsuitable for such challenging conditions, increased the risk of injury, and placed increased strain on muscles and joints during running. With the help of his friend and former Salomon executive Jean-Luc Diard, Mermoud began working on a shoe capable of "flying" while running on the mountain trails of the French Alps.
Based on the shortcomings of the shoes worn during development, Mermoud and Diard set out to do exactly the opposite. Cushioning should be maximized, the sole should be large, and support and shock absorption should be prioritized. They approached the matter creatively and developed several materials and technologies that helped make Hoka shoes so distinctive and effective:
- An ultra-lightweight foam that was approximately 18 millimeters thicker than standard foam. Despite its volume, it weighed significantly less, preventing the sole from weighing down the shoe, which still looked rather bulky and awkward, and instead maximizing cushioning.
- The ProFLY cushioning principle combines soft foam in the heel with a more durable material in the forefoot. This principle provides balanced shock absorption and energy compensation during movement.
- Meta-Rocker Outsole geometry for a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The reverse rocker and minimal heel-to-toe height difference create a smooth transition that mimics the foot's natural movement.
- Extended Hubble Heel for improved shock absorption and a smoother foot roll.
Thus, Hoka's running shoes turned out to be exactly what Diard and Mermoud expected. Hoka is now one of the fastest-growing and most promising brands. Their shoes are championed at competitions by professional runners who have recognized their effectiveness. Despite some shortcomings, such as their unconventional design, which many may find unappealing, they perform brilliantly and will show everyone else how to run to "take off."
