Hoka ONE ONE Speedgoat 2

Karl Meltzer, the SpeedGoat, signature shoe gets a big makeover. Built on a new last for a more accommodating forefoot fit with increased overall support from a new engineered mesh upper with mid foot cage construction and speed frame overlays, the foot hold should be greatly improved over v1 where a combination of overly roomy mid and narrow toe box was not Goat inspiring for me.  relegating them to more moderate trails.

The Speedgoat in all its colors is one sharp looking shoe!

The midsole is still injected EVA but the more road friendly than trail useful bounce seen in v1 is tuned down.

The outsole is a new Vibram Mega Grip pattern with 5mm lugs, shallower flex grooves and more pronounced multi directional lugs. Durability is claimed to be improved as well.

Hoka told us the whole package should be inherently more stable, more foot conforming, and more comfortable and ready to tackle any trail.

Hoka still does maximal maximal for the trail, reaffirming its roots with the Stinson ATR 4.
Built on a new wider last,Hoka's long rough trail hauler has a new upper with a flare in the forefoot and toe and a sharp new Speedframe upper.

Hoka ONE ONE Stinson ATR 4

The outsole has deeper flex grooves and more and more tightly packed 4mm lugs which we hope won't get sheared off due to their small size.

Stack: 29mm/25mm, 4 mm drop

Update: see our full review of the Clifton 4 here

Hoka ONE ONE Clifton 4

Hoka's most popular shoe has a sharp distinguished new look with the design suggesting motif of flight. Love the blue upper.
It gains 0.7 oz of weight over Clifton 3. We were told the midsole foam should be more durable maybe denser, potentially where the weight is coming from. I struggled with far rear of the shoe stability in the Clifton so maybe a denser more durable foam will also be more stable.

Now featuring an open engineered mesh it should be more breathable and supportive.

Update: See our review of the Hupana here. RTR's 2016 Shoe of the Year!

Hoka ONE ONE Hupana

The Hupana is a new shoe in the Speed category where it joins the Tracer and Clayton 2. It features an all RMAT one piece midsole outsole reminding with its all RMAT ride of the deeply missed Huaka. It has Hoka's first knit upper and we think much like the Saucony Freedom, Altra Escalante, and ON Cloud can be a versatile fast runner and due to clean modern lines and comfort a classy all day shoe.

Hoka ONE ONE Clayton 2

The Clayton was one of my favorite shoes of 2016 despite some issues with irritation back of the big toe towards the arch and I was not alone. The likely cause was folding of the sock liner under the arch according to Hoka and I also think the initial stiffness contributing.   Hoka has worked to address this with a new more substantial insole whose underside has a distinct amount of friction to hold it in place. The Clayton also gets a new engineered mesh upper with the same motif as the Clifton and a more padded heel collar. I can't wait to try this update!
